Interested in spatiotemporal decoding of choice and feedback in the human brain? My lab’s postdoc Rohit Yadav will present these beautiful MEG results from our novelty bandit at #SFN2025 Sunday 11/16, PSTR094.23 / LL8 (top row: explore vs exploit; bottom: reward vs nonreward)

The ideological cancellation of $800 million of scientific research grants because they supposedly focused on DEI was just backed by the Supreme Court. This is horrific on so many levels.

npr.org

Supreme Court allows NIH to stop making nearly $800M in research grants for now

But the court, in its emergency docket order, also left in place by a 5-4 order a lower court ruling that threw out NIH memos that enforced the administration's policies.

“The political environment in Russia made it hard to do science because everything was unpredictable. […] That type of uncertainty is incompatible with science, which requires the ability to plan what type of experiments and research you will do a year into the future.”

The woman who created COBOL, the old (but not obsolete!) computer language that much of the Treasury's code is apparently written in, was a Navy captain. It's not like having high-ranking women in the service is some new thing.

Shit man, some big accounts are sharing this and @hanoumatoi.bsky.social just reminded me that while she was a captain when she gave one of my favorite lectures, Grace Hopper did attain the rank of Rear Admiral. Anyway, here's part 1 of the lecture. www.youtube.com/watch?v=si9i...

1/✨ New paper in #eNeuro! We looked at how dominance behaviors vary across mouse strains—turns out, it’s not one-size-fits-all! Comparing CD1 & C57 male mice, we found strain-specific dominance behaviors that could change how we study social hierarchy in the lab…🧵 Paper here: tinyurl.com/bdeuf6s9

Dedicating my first Bluesky post to the pickle pizza at the Indiana State Fair. An abomination in its own right, never to be forgotten and never to be missed.
