SAVE THE DATE for the 13th Canadian Developmental Biology Conference — March 7–10, 2027 — bringing together researchers, trainees, and innovators in developmental biology from across Canada and beyond.

Remember when 70 teams analyzed the same fMRI dataset and got 70 different answers? Yeah, us too. That's why we're launching the 2026-2027 OHBM OSSIG Reproducibility Challenge: ohbm.github.io/reprochallen... (More info below 👇)

Congratulations to molecular biology professor Lisa Julian @lisaj456.bsky.social on her renewed CRC in Human Neural Stem Cell Biology and Brain Modelling!

People often ask so: Our felony charge got dropped after we asked to see unredacted grand jury transcripts. We are still facing trial for our misdemeanor and up to $250k in legal debt, no matter the outcome. Our case will help decide how all of us are allowed to protest ICE: tinyurl.com/katandre

📢PhD job alert! A exciting PhD project that involves using MEG and biophysical modelling to try to predict effects of a glutamatergic treatment for psychosis... plus you can develop your own side project. Join our great team! www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...

Coming for you, Toronto!! Looking forward to giving my CTO Craft con keynote which is about measurement AFTER you've messed up: improving how carefully you work towards evidence, stopping the ad hoc metrics chaos, and repairing your organization's ability to learn from itself

Before 2014 My life in Donbas wasn’t perfect But it was peaceful. I went to school Celebrated holidays, Spoke russian or Ukrainian - No one cared. There were no tanks, No “liberators” No tricolor flags forced on our cities. russia stole that life. But I still remember it Ukraine remembers too.

Dear world, Maybe one day Ukraine will stop sounding like explosions to you. But until then - please don’t look away🇺🇦

Is music secretly a kind of geometry? An 'augmented triad' is a kind of chord with 3 notes. If you draw the 12 notes of the scale as equally spaced dots on a circle, an augmented triad is simply any 3 notes that form an equilateral triangle! (1/2)

Music is absolutely geometry! IMO this is one explanation for all the musicians lurking in neuroscience 🧠🎶

If you want an easy way to check that the paper with your name on about to be submitted to ARXIV doesn't have hallucinated AI references in the bibliography, feel free to use (or adapt) this short tool I vibe coded (copy-paste ref list works better than pdf upload) sites.google.com/site/obintla...

wow — the preprint host, arxiv, is banning authors for a year if they submit papers with hallucinated citations 🤖

ArXiV has a new LLM policy (Screenshots with alt text so you don’t have to click through to the other place and see all the stupid responses)

Any science funder that isn't working to address these issues is going to accelerate their trajectory into a blackhole of single digit success rates, exhausted peer review systems and loss of trust and confidence by the research community and supporters, alike. It is a global existential problem.

With the rumblings around CIHR wanting to move to one cycle per year not going away, in consultation with a diverse stakeholder group, we have put together a letter for CIHR leadership. Please consider signing this letter and share/RT: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... @cannabrain.bsky.social

There are almost 10k subjects here, and it took me about 2 years to make this figure! We shared the R code on GitHub. If you have a functional scan, you can generate these PCs and then use them as covariates in your structural MRI analyses.

I’m from Donbas. I remember life before occupation. And that’s exactly why I will never believe russian propaganda.

I signed. In part, not despite of what has happened to Roger Innes (Indiana U, who was banned from his lab for complaining about government policies) but because of it. If we don't @standupforscience.net and support science-related policy, who will? Please consider signing too. All are invited.

Goin live!! Come hang!!!

Excited to see the final version of our manuscript out! We find that OPM-MEG reliably captures neural activity comparable to other neuroimaging methods. Thank you to the reviewers for their thoughtful feedback and to @s-michelmann.bsky.social for his mentorship on this project. 🧠😄

Welles’s debut feature film was Citizen Kane (1941), a scathing, fictionalized portrayal of newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst. Welles saw Hearst as a symbol of homegrown authoritarianism and used the character of Kane to critique how media power can be used for political manipulation. /6

It's increasingly clear to me that scholarly publications need AI disclosure statements! Here's a very thoughtful proposal about how this should be done, based on CRediT: crln.acrl.org/index.php/cr... @ocul-libraries.bsky.social

May 5 is Red Dress Day, the national day of awareness and remembrance for missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQ+ people. Today is about honouring those taken and recognizing the ongoing impact on families and communities.

On May 5th is Red Dress Day. We remember the murdered and missing Indigenous women. This red dress was posted at the gate of the former Qu'Appelle Residential School near Regina.

On May 5, 1877, Sitting Bull and 5,000 of his people crossed into Canada near Wood Mountain, NWT (now Saskatchewan). He hoped to receive a reserve for the Lakota. Instead, he and his people were starved into returning to the USA. This is the story. 📸 David F. Barry 🧵 1/11

12-Foot Davis was a legendary figure in the Peace River region. His name came not from his height, but from a fortune he allegedly made on a 12-foot wide gold mining claim. As a trader, he was considered honest and fair. This is his story. 📸 Mhalifu 🧵 1/9
