A colleague in our department got a CRAZY one that was a text message “signed” by a well known donor to our department asking for a meeting. super word but the funny thing is the donors name was misspelled!

Have not logged into bsky for months and this was top of feed. Deci will always be a total legend. Truly a game changer and I’d be hard pressed to cite someone more influential in my own thought other than my own advisor.

Loved this story, Claire!! As a neuro phd this is the kind of article that reminds me why I love the world of the brain and its amazing array of researchers and questions.

At work one of the huge AI/crypto profs was super excited about deepseek for these reasons today. He ran through a lot of examples of biz models that seemed more promising to me than what we’ve gotten so far (caveat: not my opinion per se, but is a sentiment some can have)

So excited to see you here, Jaron. We met YEARS ago at a lab meeting at USC with Antonio Damasio and I still think about it. Hope we can continue the conversation!

Super interesting! Not my field per se, but since I teach Intro to Entrepreneurship I see a ton of useful lessons coming from this.

Gratitude is pretty much undefeated. Super fun to chat with Sam as she prepared this article on gratitude and loneliness. Spoiler: focusing on gratitude can help us cope with tough times, including loneliness, but it takes practice and effort.

A newspaper article cover page discussing gratitude and loneliness.

I wrote this paper in grad school and I am super proud it held up well. Good job past Glenn!!

Glenn Fox @glennrfox.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

We found that it’s more than the thought that counts — how much we need a gift is often a better predictor of gratitude than effort, and that gratitude is felt alongside a wide range of other emotions.

Glenn Fox @glennrfox.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

It’s modeled after retinotopic models of visual space to allow a testable model across a range of interactions. Basically a scalable multi dimensional model of gratitude that makes robust predictions for how someone will feel after receiving a gift.

New paper published Friday!! Gratitude has many benefits but relatively little is known about what makes us grateful and how gratitude is felt alongside other emotions. My new paper builds a model for studying and predicting gratitude — called Gift-Space. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

A grateful space: understanding a range of gratitude experiences

Gratitude is a central topic in positive psychology due to its association with life satisfaction, well-being, and optimism. Though the aftereffects of gratitude have been carefully examined, schol...

This is applied lean methodology wherein companies search for a business model. It’s a good model but usually done, I dunno, before you have a 100b valuation…

Such a great article. No mention of Sapolsky’s “Determined?” I was hoping for a bit more of a rejoinder as I enjoyed Bob’s book a ton but disagreed with a lot of the conclusions… Will definitely read Free Agents!

Glenn Fox @glennrfox.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

Amazing!! Some great folks to follow if you haven’t, and stoked to meet new neuro people on here. I’ve learned a ton on the ‘sky since joining. (What a difference from the hellsite where the only notifications come from bots and spam)

Glenn Fox @glennrfox.bsky.social · 19/11/2024

It’s been awesome so far. Lots of new folks I’d never met and people are very open to chatting and discussing. Definitely growing!

Majorly celebrating that I just had a paper accepted after sitting on it for ten freaking years. Literally ONE round of very useful and addressable revisions and it’s in one of my favorite journals no less. So stoked!!!

(Sorry to glom on an unrelated post but:) Do you know if they finished/met their recent fundraising round?

The introduction of Universal Pre-K in various states and cities was linked to an increase in business applications and the overall number of business establishments. (also effects on enrollment and maternal labor supply, as in other studies)

Great article and it’s always great seeing you over here on BlueSky, Jay!

Glenn Fox @glennrfox.bsky.social · 19/09/2024

Amazing! But we also need a conversation around people’s fetish for “top tier” journals. They’d be out of business as soon as name brand labs choose a journal co-op model instead (eg editor owned w/ paid reviewers) Such a biz model would be VERY easy to set up but needs zero defections.

It sounds exactly like something my entrepreneurship students would come up with in a fifteen minute pitch competition as a joke

It’s BS….but also I am absolutely fascinated by it from a dystopian consciousness hellscape perspective.

Probably the world’s slowest mountain biker but was worth it for the view of downtown on a perfect 75 degree day! (Also just following the trend of posting whatever to bluesky to keep the momentum going!)

Super interesting approach in that article. Unless I’m out of the loop it seems unique to do qualitative analyses like that in neuro. Thanks for posting!

Louder for the people in the back! Dopamine fasts are pointless and ignorant of basic brain chemistry! If you really want a dopamine fast I suggest Parkinson’s. (Meant with sensitivity to the degree that “dopamine fasts” are IMO slightly offensive to people that actually struggle with DA issues)

This publication system is so broken. We need a co-op model by scientists for scientists.

Glenn Fox @glennrfox.bsky.social · 10/09/2024

Totally agree, I’ll never forget a professor (from Torsten Wiesels lab IIRC) just shrugging when explaining that 90% of input to the LGN comes from the occipital cortex, and yet had no idea or interest in what it did!

Glenn Fox @glennrfox.bsky.social · 10/09/2024

Love the articles and readings in this thread and need to dive in more. I wonder how much the dogma of the brain as a linear processor (eg: retina-lgn-v1-dorsal/ventral, etc) has been so persuasive we’ve been blinded to other better analogies from nature to explain how it works.

If anyone can work that phrase into a diffusion imaging paper I’ll buy them dinner.

Perfect timing! I’m actually planning an eye tracking experiment for the first time so this is super useful. Thanks!!
