Honored to share that I’ve been promoted to Associate Professor with tenure at @epfl-brainmind.bsky.social @epfl-ai-center.bsky.social (EPFL)! 🎉 Deeply grateful to my current and past incredible lab members, collaborators, and mentors who’ve made this journey possible. 🧠✨🙏🏼

Good morning 🇨🇭🏔️💙 #bluesky

Such a magical campus #EPFL 🇨🇭💕

Accepted to #CVPR2026 🙌🔥

🇨🇭 Switzerland 💕🙏🏼

✨ New 3D pose estimation method from my lab! #FMPose3D allows for monocular (i.e. single camera) 2D➡️3D 🔥 Led by Ti Wang & w/ Xiaohang Yu #FMPose3D is SOTA on human & animal 3D benchmarks, & will be integrated into @deeplabcut.bsky.social ⬇️ 📝 arxiv.org/abs/2602.05755 ➡️ xiu-cs.github.io/FMPose3D/

Excited to co-host this conference with @marissascavuzzo.bsky.social and Steve Liberles focused on the peripheral nervous system -- No Brainer! Check out the amazing list of speakers and apply for one of the spots for this small, interactive meeting on the beautiful Janelia Campus at HHMI.

Enjoying the Swiss Animal Science meeting! Inspiring to be around people who are passionate about research animal welfare and open science ❤️

If you’re at SfN, see the poster on DeepLabCut 3 where n Monday 8-12 Swing by to talk to @trackingactions.bsky.social and me this and about the DLC ecosystem!

Want to help shape the SCENE collaboration?! Join us as an executive director: www.cam.ac.uk/jobs/scene-m...

AI tools like DeepLabCut and SuperAnimal are changing how scientists study movement, helping them understand how brain activity drives behavior. Read more: bit.ly/4qnX7JF @trackingactions.bsky.social @deeplabcut.bsky.social

#EPFL has an open faculty position - tenure track or tenured!! - in AI driven biophysics. Deadline is Nov 15th. Please spread the word! www.epfl.ch/about/workin...

My lab has been pushing into explainable, robust, & theoretically-tractable AI models for science 💪 New! Accepted to #ICCV2025 we introduce #DISTIL - led by amazing PhD student @mirzious.bsky.social - we propose a trigger-inversion method for DNNs that reconstructs malicious backdoor triggers 1/4

Of potential interest to those keen on motor control and/or multi-task networks. Congrats to Elom and Eric. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I’m super excited to finally put my recent work with @behrenstimb.bsky.social on bioRxiv, where we develop a new mechanistic theory of how PFC structures adaptive behaviour using attractor dynamics in space and time! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Fall US trips booked! I'll be speaking at Scripps, SfN, and ICCV 🚀 Who will be at #ScrippsNeuroSymposium2025, #SfN2025 and/or #ICCV2025? Lots of ☀️🕶️🌴 & 🧠 in Oct/Nov!

Not just an amazing dataset, excellent 3D pose, shape, and eye tracking in the real world! Bravo @trackingskills.bsky.social et al! PS - Exactly this kind of data we predict will be critical for long-term health monitoring @monosovlab.bsky.social et al: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A.I. tools are already shaping patient care—but we should be wary of letting them diagnose us. “Patients and doctors alike could think of A.I. not as a way to solve mysteries but as a way to gather clues,” Dhruv Khullar writes.

New preprint alert! The uterus expands ~500-fold in pregnancy, yet we know little about how pressures are sensed. Led by @yunxiao-dr.bsky.social, we show PIEZOs are required for contractions and birth in mice, with dual roles of PIEZO1 in muscle and PIEZO2 in neurons www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

DeepLabCut pose estimation (@trackingactions.bsky.social) revealed high intitial motor variability, which is essenatial for motor learning (Dhawale et al., 2017, Annu. Rev. Neurosci.).

New paper in Nature finds that global geologic CO2 storage potential is ~90% lower than previously believed. Many candidate sites could leak CO2 back into the air or into groundwater, undermining climate mitigation efficacy or putting nearby human health at risk. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I might be biased, but I think this is one of the most exciting developments in generalized musculoskeletal control in years ⬇️. Congrats to the team (I’m not involved!) 💪🔥

Something exciting just left the gym -- meet Arnold the first generalist musculoskeletal control policy! The human body has 600+ muscles, yet we seamlessly coordinate them for everything from whispering a syllable to felling a forrest. How? www.arxiv.org/abs/2508.18066

Thrilled to share this work, long time in the making! Carried through creatively by @siddjakes.bsky.social after initial design & piloting by @trackingskills.bsky.social, with help from @trackingactions.bsky.social. Modeling in collaboration with Massimo Vergassola & Nicola Rigolli.

EPFL, ETH Zurich & CSCS just released Apertus, Switzerland’s first fully open-source large language model. Trained on 15T tokens in 1,000+ languages, it’s built for transparency, responsibility & the public good. Read more: actu.epfl.ch/news/apertus...

This was a wonderful project to work on! It also, in part, sparked a lot! Beyond just our handles: @trackingskills.bsky.social aka trackingplumes (Bluesky and X), when I wanted to track mouse hands & Alex noses, we teamed up in 2017 to make @deeplabcut.bsky.social 💜 Delighted to see this out! 🙏🏼

Yes, AmadeusGPT is a great example of the kinds of structure that can make these LLMs truly useful for science

Selfishly, I’ll plug our tool LLM agent in system #AmadeusGPT - which lets you vibe code your behavioral analysis ;) and even gives you interpretable and verifiable outputs! www.mackenziemathislab.org/amadeusgpt

A no-miss opportunity to join EPFL. We are a vibrant (had to use it 😉) community working in all branches of basic sciences and engineering, and interdisciplinary studies are strongly encouraged. If you want more information, contact the committee heads, or feel free to DM me. tinyurl.com/bd27ky7p

So great to meet up with the talented @julianneumann.bsky.social today! His work on merging neuro, AI, and clinical applications is very exciting. He was the first to use and extend #CEBRA for human experiments 🚀🧠 #neuroskynce

The Sudmant lab at UC Berkeley is seeking a postdoc to work on a fully funded NIH project to understand differences in DNA repair and somatic mutation across the primate tree of life. Please spread widely to those who may be interested aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF05052

1. "'Trusting the experts is not a feature of either a science or democracy," Kennedy said." It's literally a vital feature of both science and of representative democracy. I've written a fair bit about trust in expertise as a vital mechanism in the collective epistemology of science.

j'adore Genève

Happy Swiss National Day! 🇨🇭🏔️🚞 📯🥳❤️

Check out our new review/perspective (w/ @juangallego.bsky.social & Devika Narain) on neural manifolds in the brain! It was a lot of fun to think through these ideas over the past couple of years, and I'm excited it's finally out in the world! 🔗: www.nature.com/articles/s41... 📄: rdcu.be/ex8hW
