With some trepidation, I'm putting this out into the world: gershmanlab.com/textbook.html It's a textbook called Computational Foundations of Cognitive Neuroscience, which I wrote for my class. My hope is that this will be a living document, continuously improved as I get feedback.

My new gig is PI of the CANN group at Trinity College Dublin and University of Oxford (50/50). Funded by the UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship, we'll be recruiting postdocs, PhDs and an RA in Dublin and Oxford soon. So exciting! @oxcin.bsky.social @tcddublin.bsky.social @ox.ac.uk @tcdscss.bsky.social

This is a HUGE win…and one that happened because we ~collectively~ said “NO!” But AAAS coming in and saying on record to the NYT “Science is doing ok. Things are not bad at all…” is baffling. If things are hard for you as a scientist, please share in the comments. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/10/s...

🚨Friends, we’re happy to share that our book is available for pre-order! 🎉 We aimed to cover all the foundations of the topic in an accessible manner for a large audience. It could help set up a bachelor-level curriculum on the topic. Pre-orders are very key for the fate of books: shorturl.at/Dxbif

NIH cuts: “Between the end of February and mid-August, funding ceased for 383 studies that were testing treatments for conditions including cancer, heart disease and brain disease. The cuts disproportionately impacted efforts to tackle infectious diseases like the flu, pneumonia and COVID-19”

It's hard to express what it meant to watch Maurice, Natalia, Celeste, and Rhea tell their stories—in their own voices—this morning. The segment revealed a brutal reality: homelessness at this scale isn't about personal failure. It's the result of policy choices and systems built to exploit people.

Alice was the first person to ever encourage my creative writing. She was a thoughtful editor and a beloved mentor. I learned so much about activism just by watching her move through the world. May her memory be a blessing to us all.

Alice Wong’s writings had a tremendous impact on my understanding of #disability and my imaginings for a better future ❤️. I highly recommend reading her work and letting her move you too. #RestInPower

If we’re talking about ‘generational investment’, Canada needs faculty positions for postdocs. There have been virtually no cog psych/neuro jobs in the past three years.

10 years ago she had (undiagnosed) lyme disease, which was debilitating for an entire year. She's well today (it's in remission). She did her own research and she helped figured out what was happening, working with a doctor. That set the stage for her advocacy today.

New preprint! Working memory contents can be decoded from alpha band power. But does working memory maintenance really depend on these oscillations? We say no, because we found that alpha power decoding only works for prioritized items, not deprioritized ones. 1/3 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
