First sneak peek into SimFish! 🐟 Long in development with @isaacbianco.bsky.social and Sam Pink, our fish-on-chips now captures key aspects of larval #zebrafish sensory processing and motor control.

We were asked to write a commentary on NeuroAI for Nat. Rev. Neuro. with Sadra Sadeh, so here it is: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I have a theory about why, beyond just being people, much of US scientific leadership was caught so flat-footed and is displaying Neville Chamberlain-tier wet kleenex resolve in defense of our institutions and values.

Join us today, 2pm GMT!

like me puzzled about the anti-science sentiment in the US? here's a nice read arguing that there's no crisis of 'public' trust in science but rather a crisis of 'conservative' trust, which is rooted in their hostility toward government regulation of the marketplace. direct.mit.edu/daed/article...

Science is political. It wouldn't necessarily have to be partisan. But when one party is opposed to science-based policy, scientists have a choice between saying "you're right, thoughts and prayers are probably as effective as reducing carbon emissions" or saying "fuck that."
