Excellent 🧵 on this evening's NIH announcement of a dramatic reduction in indirect rates for research institutions, which amounts to a generational restructuring of the US research and development ecosystem. These cuts are effective immediately, not just for new grants but for existing ones.

After a great conference in Boston, CCN is going to take place in Amsterdam in 2025! To help the exchange of ideas between #neuroscience, cognitive science, and #AI, CCN will for the first time have full length paper submissions (alongside the established 2 pagers)! Info below👇 #NeuroAI #CompNeuro

Random opinion: stochastic optimal control theory is underrated in NeuroAI and theoretical neuro. It's one of the most general and useful frameworks out there. Lots of beautiful math and solid proofs. More people should apply it to neuroscience... 🧠🤖
