i present to you all: proof i have been a philosopher of science for over 20 years 😂

Against my better instincts, I have written some notes on how human probability judgements work and what you should expect from surveys that ask people to guess what proportion of the population is transgender. I hope never to speak of this matter again

we really are living in the hunger games. (perhaps we can hope she undergoes the same redemption arc as Effie, eventually?)

Anybody in a betting mood? Companies that will be determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security's discretion to be working in the national interest and *not* a threat to the security or welfare of the US: Universities? Definitely not. Tesla? SpaceX? Anything Thiel? 100%.

NEW: The Pentagon told journalists it will require them to pledge they won’t gather any information — even unclassified — that hasn’t been expressly authorized for release, and will revoke the press credentials of those who do not obey. @washingtonpost.com

just canceled Disney+. yep, you all know why.

Hello! I just started at new center at UCI! Some main foci will be misinformation, metascience, and equity! www.socsci.uci.edu/newsevents/n...

Neuromatch Academy 2026 is coming! ✅ Hands-on projects ✅ Global community ✅ Affordable fees Applications open Feb 2026. Learn more: neuromatch.io/courses/ Sign up for updates: neuromatch.io/mailing-list/ #ComputationalNeuroscience #DeepLearning #ClimateScience #NeuroAI #Neuroscience #AI

The United States Department of Education is now partnering with Turning Point USA and the Heritage Foundation to create educational programs "dedicated to renewing patriotism". Oh good. www.npr.org/2025/09/17/n...

This is a beautifully written, scathing indictment of the administration's gutting of the NSF and related bodies. I very much agree with Melanie: a powerful and inspiring example of leadership and integrity from @alondra.bsky.social. I hope to one day learn to speak with such gravity and impact.

seen as i take a short lunch break today...

#ComputationalScience should be open to everyone. At Neuromatch, we run global courses with team activities, TAs, learning pods, and projects…but we also share all the learning materials to everyone. 🤓 #OpenSource #OpenAccess & #Free ➡️ neuromatch.io/open-educati... #OpenScience #OpenEducation

📢 Job announcement: Two (!) 3-year postdoc jobs in our lab at UCL 📢 🧠💫🔊 We are looking for postdocs interested in the abstract mechanisms underlying social cognition. Modelling, fMRI and non-invasive ultrasound, a new deep-brain stimulation method. Please RT www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...

so cool! congratulations!

why would the NYT put the mini crossword behind a SECONDARY paywall i'm not paying extra for that but also ughhh

New results for a new year! “Linking neural population formatting to function” describes our modern take on an old question: how can we understand the contribution of a brain area to behavior? www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧠👩🏻‍🔬🧪🧵 #neuroskyence 1/

you know that point when you've cut something from 1800+ to 1014 words and those last 14 words just will. not. go. away. yeah that's me right now.

thank you Shahrzad for being part of our neuromatch family and sharing your story!

sitting on the tarmac at yyz... and see this. united airlines now offers mach 17 services apparently. if only.

jfc the creativity of this administration. it's actually impressive. in the most horrific way. imagine if they used that creativity for, you know, *not* being fascists and instead solving disease or simply promoting joy?

[email protected] @onemorebrown.bsky.social and @axc.bsky.social have published a theoretical paper titled “Computational higher-order theories of consciousness” as a book chapter. See the preprint here. philarchive.org/archive/FLECHT

on why science communication is so important and not actually so misaligned with "bean counting" incentive structures (papers, grants) that tenure and promotion committees care about:

Having fun facilitating this amazing group of young Profs at the #Neuro4Pros workshop with @kordinglab.bsky.social and @meganakpeters.bsky.social, @yaelniv.bsky.social, and Hannah Bayer. Watch out world: this is the next generation of leaders! compneurosci.com/Neuro4Pros/i...

you guys. i am REALLY bad at steering a canoe. @neurograce.bsky.social is truly a saint for putting up with me 🙏 at least i didn't capsize us! (team building exercises @ #neuro4pros! h/t to @gunnarblohm.bsky.social & @kordinglab.bsky.social for organizing such a stellar group, & it's only day 2!)

👇👇👇

hey check out @norabradford.bsky.social's latest!!

hello again from LAX! it's 6am & i'm on my way to Neuro4Pros, hosted & organized by @gunnarblohm.bsky.social & @kordinglab.bsky.social! compneurosci.com/Neuro4Pros/i... looking forward to talking mentorship, scicomms, project management, & open science infrastructure w/ all you brilliant people!

I’m recruiting committee members for the Technical Program Committee at #CCN2026. Please apply if you want to help make submission, review & selection of contributed work (Extended Abstracts & Proceedings) more useful for everyone! 🌐 Helps to have: programming/communications/editorial experience.

love seeing these happy faces! thank you, TAs!! friends: did you know @neuromatch.bsky.social academy now has 13,000+ "interactive track" alums from 130+ countries & 40,000+ participants total? join us next summer & become part of the neuromatch family! are you ready?? 💪🥳 #neuroscience #compneuro

survey time! we want to hear from you!

It was a great pleasure to write this for NHB. Thank you for the opportunity! #neuroscience #consciousness #psychscisky

#CCN2025 is over. Over 5 days there were 6 fantastic keynotes, 550 posters, 3 community events, 3 keynote & tutorials, 3 generative adversarial collaborations, 8 Satellite events, 1 community lunch meeting, 1 cross-conference hackathon, 1 competition, coffee all day, stroopwafels on day 1,

did you know that since july, bluesky now has user post notifications?? i missed this last month. elevate your favorite voices to your awareness, since most feeds are chronological & stuff still gets lost here relative to how the other site was in its heydey... techcrunch.com/2025/07/07/b...

hearty congratulations and well deserved accolades for Brian and Lucie! was a pleasure to work on this paper with you both 😀

wow this feed is pretty great from a cursory glance. cautiously optimistic this will be my new go-to feed.

please share your stories about neuromatch experiences! we want to build a library of your voices so the whole world can hear!

Appreciate @davidpoeppel.bsky.social's reminder to scientists of their role in this time, at #CCN2025 (the reminder may be even more pertinent to non-US colleagues who have a chance to prevent the some of the worst effects before they really arrive)

it was such a pleasure to share some of our work with @racheldenison.bsky.social, @jorge-morales.bsky.social, @nadinedijkstra.bsky.social and all our labs with the #CCN2025 community! thank you @lintonvision.bsky.social for coordinating this excellent event!

🧠🤝A great Mindmatching event at #CCN2025 @cogcompneuro.bsky.social with @meganakpeters.bsky.social today! ✨We helped to connect some of the brightest minds in cognitive computational neuroscience! Learn more about how it's done here: neuromatch.io/networking/

see you all there!!

Super excited to kickstart our Metacognitive science satellite meeting, just before the CCN conference in Amsterdam! Organised with @dobyrahnev.bsky.social @meganakpeters.bsky.social and @stvemillertime.bsky.social

check it out!

UC admin right now: "no, you can't buy that printer w/o getting 5 competitive quotes & wasting 3 hours filling forms. but yes trust us you all should install this spyware software built by a company that got hacked & then changed their name. and no, we won't tell you how we picked this supplier."

when you start to recognize people who work at the airline lounge, you know you travel too much. guess i'm a "local" at LAX?🫠😭 BUT! Amsterdam & @cogcompneuro.bsky.social here i come! 1- consciousness community event 2- @neuromatch.bsky.social mind matching 3- Metacog www.metacognitivescience.org
