@stevenstrogatz.com I was showing my undergraduates your lovely 1988 Romeo & Juliet differential equations paper. Which is an excellent way of demonstrating novel and enjoyable applications of maths. A possible popular update could changing it to the two protagonists of Heated Rivalry.

The @neuromatch.bsky.social compneuro summer school is excellent. And I recommend it to anyone interested in maths, neuroscience, modelling and/or machine learning.

PhD opportunity in "The role of neural development in multimodal intelligence" with me, @marcusghosh.bsky.social and @flor-iacaruso.bsky.social. Read details below 👇. Note there's a very short window for applying (deadline Feb 27). 🤖🧠🧪 www.imperial.ac.uk/school-of-co...

I’m a bit late to reading this article by @marcusghosh.bsky.social in the @thetransmitter.bsky.social I really enjoyed it. I’m definitely pro toy mathematical models, I believe they can be informative and push research forward.

🎧 New #FENS - #EJN Journal Club episode. 🏆 In this episode Paul Sauseng discuss his paper that won the @ejneuroscience.bsky.social Best Publication Award in 2025! 👉 Tune in here: https://loom.ly/9-n-ND8

I’ve created five one-hour workshops for primary & secondary students, all free to use, showing how maths helps us understand the world Each workshop includes: 📊 Slides 📝 Worksheets (short for primary, detailed for secondary) ✅ Full solutions I’ll share one workshop each #MathsWeek2025 day!

Each year, #mathsweek is a few weeks after the equinox. So, this year some mathematicians were given the job of studying time. They started out by counting seconds. However, they quickly got bored and after 24 hours they called it a day. @diasdunsink.bsky.social

As part of #mathsweek, there is a special Lá na Mata organised in Galway, including @davidstifter.bsky.social, @cathal.bsky.social and others. So, I have a few as Gaeilge maths jokes...

Studying for a geometry exam during #mathsweek? My top tip? Make sure to cover all the angles.

I've been waiting some years to make this joke and now it’s real: I conned somebody into giving me a faculty job! I’m starting as a W1 Tenure-Track Professor at Goethe University Frankfurt in a week (lol), in the Faculty of CS and Math and I'm recruiting PhD students 🤗

#ComputationalScience should be open to everyone. At Neuromatch, we run global courses with team activities, TAs, learning pods, and projects…but we also share all the learning materials to everyone. 🤓 #OpenSource #OpenAccess & #Free ➡️ neuromatch.io/open-educati... #OpenScience #OpenEducation

My 11-year-old and I ran a table at @dublinmaker.bsky.social this weekend, mixing maths, art, neuroscience, and machine learning. Over 100 people joined us to sketch emotions, act them out, and see their faces transformed into Eigenfaces using maths and computing.

incredible Ada Lovelace quote highlighted in a talk by Steve Furber. She spells out the dream of computational neuroscience, 2 centuries ago. The sheer ambition 🤩

Two full days of hands-on workshops at #DublinMaker? From superhero flyers to smart cities and origami wonders - there’s something for every curious mind. Check the full schedule & plan your maker adventure: www.DublinMaker.ie

@dublinmaker.bsky.social is a phenomenal free family event. Where else can you meet knitters, weavers, zine makers, robots and a middle aged mathematician (me) showing face recognition algorithms. I’ve all my regalia ready come along so some sketching, lean some maths get your own eigenface.

Dublin Maker is happening this weekend - 30th & 31st of August in Leopardstown Racecourse. In this video, organiser Amy Hassett shares everything you need to know before you go – from getting here & accessibility to top tips on getting involved. www.youtube.com/watch?v=m991...

Check out our new multisensory decision study! We tackle a decades-old Q: does faster detection of bimodal targets come from a race or co-activation between modalities? And also a vital, orthogonal Q: is it one decision process or two? A1: co-activation A2: two! Read here: rdcu.be/eASYd

I'm delighted to be back at @dublinmaker.bsky.social with the Digital Mirror workshop which shows the links between maths, portraiture, neuroscience and machine learning.

Spiking neural networks people, this message is for you! The annual SNUFA workshop is now open for abstract submission (deadline Sept 26) and (free) registration. This year's speakers include Elisabetta Chicca, Jason Eshraghian, Tomoki Fukai, Chengcheng Huang, and... you? snufa.net/2025/ 🤖🧠🧪
