CNS delivery systems are getting better 'Tividenofusp alfa, comprising iduronate-2-sulfatase fused to an engineered transferrin receptor–binding Fc domain, has been developed to treat neurologic and peripheral manifestations of mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II), a rare lysosomal disorder'

Ανοιχτή συζήτηση (δίωρη!) με δεκάδες παριστάμενους (μη κομματικούς) σε μπαρ στο Κουκάκι (17 Δεκεμβρίου 2025). Γιατί ο διάλογος χωρίς όρια είναι το ζητούμενο για το ΜέΡΑ25. Καλή χρονιά! www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-jx...

This is so core to the misunderstandings (purposeful and not) about AI in education

Love public transport. Ta. 🚎

"To invest. how high-fat diets alter risk-taking behavior, we designed a conflict assay in which mice are tasked with foraging for food under natural predatory threat. While standard diet food intake decreases in the presence of a rat predator, mice continue to seek & consume HFD despite the threat"

Ah for sure send that email out peeps!!!!!!

Qui aurait pu le prédire ? 🤔🙃

Hard no to this: French publisher Harlequin has told translators that their work will now be done by AI. They can ‘revise’ AI translations at much lower rate. It’s a subsidiary of Harper Collins so treat this as a test for rollout elsewhere

And this one :)

Cannot wait to read this one!!!!!!

How do animals channel sensory information into motor pathways to generate flexible behavioral output? Excited to share a new preprint addressing this question by leveraging the new #maleCNS connectome, behavioral experiments, and in-vivo recordings: doi.org/10.64898/202.... A long🧵...

The British state has used every method they can to isolate and break the spirits of the 8 prisoners who stand with Palestine. They are now close to dying & the British state doesn't care. Irish people know hunger strikes. We know British oppression. We know colonialism. Stand up, take Action 🇵🇸

Now that is cool!

I have rarely come across more transparently false and shallow arguments than Milton Friedman's excuses about his role in Pinochet's dictatorship - ridiculously often framed in justifications straight from Pinochet's own propaganda machine. (Eg: left, Friedman's 1998 account. Right, the reality)

Check that out!!!!! Congratulations to all! And @olivia.science hero! 3 week migraine sounds like warzone!

Look at this, 2 of the @fly-jedi.bsky.social organisers are part of organising the non fly exclusive JEDI PIs for the neuro world!! @nkonst4.bsky.social!

A beautiful read on the dystopia we are facing of polished content created prechewed and predigested. "See? Same info, but now it's palatable"

As a (to me very enjoyable) part of this paper, we worked out what mutation-selection balance looks like in finite populations with varying degrees of inbreeding.

Whoooo! ♥️

📢Super cool meeting to come in spring 2026 @intcha.bsky.social📢!! Very happy to be talking there and looking forward to the new dimensions in the scientific discussions!!

Deadline for this post-doc position in my lab extended to Jan 11th!

Somebody needs to write at length of the unhinged nonsense of calling academics critical of a monstrous technology, esp ones with direct expertise in formalism & implementation details: technopessimist. Are climate experts called pessimists for believing in & fighting against the climate crisis? 1/2

Why are we still stuck on nonsense we've been addressing for more than 2 years... I'm tired

@natcomms.nature.com how's the average time a transfer from @nature.com with full response to initial reviewers supposed to take? Our share.google/nMaTKAoIaoNW... has been in your hands for 90 days after receiving whole bunch of modifs for the round of rev at Nature, is that normal?

Well done @jdejuan-sanz.bsky.social!!!!!

Thank you @olivia.science ❤️ "From the so-called male geek trope that dominates Global North/Western perceptions of technology to the actively anti-feminist stances such demographics espouse: programming has a sexism problem. Herein, we touch on how and why programming is so gendered in the present"

I won't say anything other than: 1) It's only cryptic if you don't understand what it looks like to have a person removed because they do the things I say here not to do... doi.org/10.5117/TVGN... 2) any woman academic unrelated to this event can tell you what he did.
