Sad and frustrated to see almost 3000 people are up for redundancy at my alma mater. Those keeping the place running shouldn't need to bear the consequences of catastrophic central management failures .

Its a complex feeling to receive two papers in the same week for comments, both including authors who sadly passed away too soon in 2025. Hopefully these papers in small part help their names echo though the ages that little longer.

Pleased to see this paper finally published. We investigated which conductive models are appropriate for source analysis of spine electrophysiology. Turns out modelling the bone is quite important!
