so I just realized I forgot to #skeetprint my Contactomes paper... (is that what we're calling it?) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... @kordinglab.bsky.social @dacolon.bsky.social smithneurallab.weebly.com @jhuapl.bsky.social #academicsky #preprint #neuroscience

Lem and Douglas Adams were the only true prophets of LLMs in science fiction.

Here is an aerial before / after I-76 of Lansdowne Dr. The highway ramps forced the removal of all the park trails, which served as crucial connectors for park visitors. In many ways the reasonable thing to do would be to turn Lansdowne over to people walking / biking to restore park connectivity.

rotisserie pillow. is this anything?

this is fun!! I just spent a ton of hours making this animation for my dissertation defense in @blender.org, I wish I had known about this a little sooner 😆 mine is of course not real data...

✅ (🎉 @kordinglab.bsky.social)

There's still time to apply!

OMG. so cool!

"whats yer horse's name, pardner?" [shoving KISSBABY's nametag under my saddle] uh she doesn't have one

coolest visuals in the world, science is amazing

should I work on my dissertation defense slides or should I learn how to use @blender.org geometry node simulation zones...

Such cool work by @felipeparodi.bsky.social, bringing face detection, landmark tracking, and facial movement analysis to primate research! 🐒🦍🦧 totally opens up new ways to study communication and social behavior. Felipe rocks!

Love this — such a great interactive! @inquirer.com Here's a pro move: "How are you gonna afford this?" was such a non-issue in my playthrough because dropping police spending by 20% paid for the rest of my entire Philadelphia.

Preprint out arguing that we should build the techology to translate (compile) molecularly annotated connectomes into dynamics. I think this is incredibly important. arxiv.org/abs/2603.25713

excited to announce it's time for me to defend my dissertation! come hang :) april 21, 2026 1:30pm EDT gaulton auditorium at UPenn or Zoom jordan.matelsky.com/phd

getting a good workout on my sitting-still muscles these days

someone's working late to fix the production string replacement fail tonight at Strava I'll bet

dissertation goes out in 20 days, can confirm

bsky bot that auto-replies to skeets with dollar amounts saying "$21.5M SEPTA expansion is worth 28 minutes of doing war"

We could fund an entire PhD student on the expenses the military burned in the time it took you to read this

With this war on Iran costing $1B per day, we are now at 4$B, an amount that would fund 3,200 five year NIH biomedical research grants.

One day I will drink my last beer from Brewer's Art in Baltimore and shed a single tear

we couldn't use government funds to buy coffee (like, folgers ground coffee) when i worked on a CDC outbreak emergency response

I remember the days before @blender.org even had a "save before closing" :)

I'm super pumped about this! LLMs in scientific publishing have at times been a promethean tragic boon. PlanYourScience.com feels like putting LLMs where they belong!

This is such a scourge of modern ML conferences too — "I didn't quite know how to embed this object so I just asked an LLM to spit out 64 floating-point numbers"

If Bad Bunny can cover the history of Puerto Rico, colonialism, transatlantic slavery, hemispheric consciousness, as well as contemporary life and politics in under 14 minutes, you can do your 15- or 20-minute conference presentation with time to spare.

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself! bluesky-map.theo.io I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.

@fly.io what does "could not find a good candidate within 40 attempts at load balancing. last error: [PR01] no known healthy instances found for route tcp/443." mean — is that something I messed up, or are you seeing saturated IAD nodes?

omg this is amazing @techconnectify.bsky.social!!! from start to finish!

I serve on a review committee for an accelerator that has this problem too. Applicants are submitting ~a dozen pages of AI content they've often not fully read. The solution in my opinion, is to SHORTEN submission requirements, and I think the solution for scientific publishing is similar. 1/

if you work for Palantir and have concerns about its role in US federal immigration enforcement, please reach out to me, too. I'm not doing a news thing, I just want to figure out what that kind of person is like

This is amazing news! #ShareGoodNewsToo RFKJ's illegitimate, deliberately destructive study now on hold!
