A reminder that if you’re trying to cut costs for government, the NIH actually doubles the tax payer $$s! This innovation boosts the US economy in many ways. @elonmusk Neuralink wouldn’t have happened without it, as an example.

Of all the critiques of boosters, this seems like the worst/weirdest one. Boosters would help us get back to normal—see family and friends more, pursue a wider range of social activities—but for some reason we don't want that? nytimes.com/2021/08/18/hea…




New preprint alert! (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…) How does neural activity change when animals switch between engagement/disengagement? What may be the behavioral source of the changes? Are there any behavioral indicators of engagement other than the often-reported task performance and pupil size? We addressed all these questions in our latest project! (1/7)




Name a programming language worse than R. You can't. You literally can't do it.


Want a simple rule? Does the lab judge its success by where it publishes? Does it consider a Science, Cell or Nature paper to be the highest accomplishment? If so, it's not serious about doing science right. You should join a lab that's fighting the system, not playing in it.



heard UMAP was popular on twitter, anyone have any advice on how to tighten up the clusters?
