In today’s episode Carolina and Clara probe at what causality means, both in a philosophical sense and a scientific one💭. They talk about how neuroscience can probe at causality, the fine line between correlation and causation, and more! open.spotify.com/episode/1eWI...

#GVerse The dance of little swans.

I'd like to make a list of PhD programs that (1) are in Europe (which does include the UK); (2) offer opportunities in systems neuroscience; and obviously (3) pay a stipend. Please share and/or respond to add your suggestions?

Honoured to be the guest on the 100th episode of the @neuroversepod.bsky.social podcast!🎙️ With Clara Lenherr and @carolina-soares.bsky.social, I discussed the neurobiology of sleep—a topic that continues to fascinate and challenge us. Thank you to the Neuroverse team for inviting me. 🧵👇

New episode 🎧 We discuss Geometric Decision-Making with @icouzin.bsky.social! We go over the collective behaviours seen in different animals 🐠🪰🐙and ask: how much do physics models ⚛️portray the dynamics of collective-decision-making? Listen to learn more! open.spotify.com/show/4GrM2vL...

Agreed! Fun example in the opening of this abstract:

I'd like to see a revival of panache and artistry in scientific prose style. Since we have to read so many papers, they should be fun and beautiful. I would also argue that this serves the goal of communication: readers will be more likely to remember a striking phrase or image.

Spent a moment compiling drawings from my past few years of funding applications, including so very many drawings of mice. Posted here in hopes they save someone else the effort: drive.google.com/file/d/1x_Jo...

"The rejection of grant applications or the alteration of the published record on account of the use of terms such as ‘bias’, ‘gender’, ‘ethnicity’ and even ‘female’ is unacceptable. EMBO Press joins other journals in not allowing such changes" 💪🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

A new type of vaccine based on mRNA technology is seen by many as a potential breakthrough in the fight against cancer. We sat down with oncologist Lennard Lee to discuss why he hopes these vaccines will prove to be the “silver lining of the pandemic.”
