I'm on a panel this week where we will allocate about a million dollars in grants and as I wade through these apps one thing is apparent: the ability to write clearly in plain language is a real asset for scientists

Producing, and packaging, the new COVID vaccine in Canada is the immediate benefit. This is just the beginning. Moderna is/will work with Canadian research universities etc to develop other mRNA treatments for other diseases and possibly cancer. This factory can 1/2 www.cpac.ca/headline-pol...

This ☝🏽 💯 If 🇨🇦 created a thriving research environment by investing in tri-council & ditching the PJT focused approach that kills investment in long term programs - we would ATTRACT international talent vs bribing them to move here; to only leave later when they see there’s no sustainable funding!

is it a nature paper or is it a paper in nature #neuroskyence

dear Tim Apple I don't know what your definition of 'intelligence' is but I would think Apple Intelligence should just open slack app when I type "slack" into spotlight ; also why would I type the word "slack" if what I wanted to do was look up the word "saint" in a thesaurus ? this is truly bizarre

Thrilled that our new review "Motor Working Memory" is now in press at TiCS! @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social @cellpress.bsky.social By me + Hanna Hillman We argue that a dedicated research program on 'working memory for movements' is long overdue Link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1lmMX4sIRv...

Variance partitioning is used to quantify the overlap of two models. Over the years, I have found that this can be a very confusing and misleading concept. So we finally we decided to write a short blog to explain why. @martinhebart.bsky.social @gallantlab.org diedrichsenlab.org/BrainDataSci...

In a new paper, my colleagues and I set out to demonstrate how method biases can create spurious findings in relationship science, by using a seemingly meaningless scale (e.g., "My relationship has very good Saturn") to predict relationship outcomes. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

The Dept. of Psychology at the U. Wisconsin–Madison has an opening for an Assistant Professor in the area of Computational Neuroscience and/or Cognitive Science, with an emphasis on artificial intelligence (AI). Domain of behavior or cognition is open. Details at jobs.wisc.edu/jobs/assista...

a blog post is swimming around in my head — about what is 'the work', and what is not the work; what is a pre-requisite for the work and what is not a pre-req for the work — and what is just procrastination; one context: grad school ; another version for professoring; PS blog posts are not the work

Excited to share my latest work with @jonathanamichaels.bsky.social @diedrichsenjorn.bsky.social & @andpru.bsky.social! We asked: How does the motor cortex account for arm posture when generating movement? Paper 👉 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 1/10

Amazing new paper - such a pleasure to be involved! With so much and clean neuropixel data - analysis becomes a completely different game…

📣 This is a big one that we've been cooking for a while! We think it adds to the heart of motor control: 'how does motor cortex work'. Congratulations @mkashefi.bsky.social!

Come join us at University of Toronto. We're hiring a Professor of computational cognitive neuroscience. #neuroAI #compneuro jobs.utoronto.ca/job/Toronto-...

A very cool new finding from our lab! During a cooperative sensorimotor task, we show that involuntary visuomotor feedback responses reflect a representation of a partner. biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Led by the extremely talented, Seth Sullivan

I loved this piece from @grimalkina.bsky.social about who is and isn't allowed to be technical. "I am sorry to be the one to tell you this, but if my belonging in tech is fundamentally unacceptable yours is uncertain." www.fightforthehuman.com/why-i-cannot...

academia is a v. strange mix of “we expect you to behave like an employee” (forms, webinars, insanely bad admin software, etc) but also “go fund your entire research operation yourself including paper towels for the sink in the lunchroom we don’t have the budget for that”. #academicsky

“Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces. Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.” Leadership, strategy, real action, common sense. #Paris

So this is still happening, and still feels crappy, though I suspect much less crappy than if I had not had another vaccine in May. New vaccines coming this fall at least in Canada.

Wonderful piece by @megancarey.bsky.social on how @network-alba.bsky.social is tackling inequities in (neuro)science and building more inclusive research communities! ✨ #DEI #DiversityInScience #DiversityInSTEM #neuroscience #cognitivescience #neuroskyence #academia
