I teach about Ariely's fraud in my methods class and it is probably not the best message to undergrads that he still has his job

AI companies are quietly obtaining rare books, ingesting their contents, and then destroying them -- even if they're exceedingly rare.

Our paper is out today!!! (not an April fool's day joke) Congrats to authors @azulsilva.bsky.social, @belalima-paiva.bsky.social, Ele Pronier, and mostly to the amazing scientist and human being who led this project @facuumm.bsky.social #neuroskyence #hippocampus www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Dorsoventral hippocampus neural assemblies reactivate during sleep following an aversive experience - Nature Neuroscience
Synchronization of sharp-wave ripples across the dorsoventral hippocampus during sleep supports coordinated reactivation that represents negative experiences more faithfully than positive ones.

Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 19/01/2026
My Republican colleagues must take notice: The U.S. cannot base foreign policy on whether or not a president gets a prize. This is pathetic. It is petty and dangerous narcissism — behavior we might expect from a spoiled child, not the leader of a democratic nation.

It’s definitely taking me longer to complete my reviews right now. And that seems to be the case with the manuscripts I have in review as well. So my guess is yes, and yes.

I think almost all scientific projects should be planned carefully. And I think an app can dramatically improve that. So I wrote an app for that (free for now, if you can fund this let me know). I tested it quite a bit (>8000 users in beta so far). try it: planyourscience.com

Yes. Important for all NIH people and scientists: The executive orders are not law. The President *cannot* make laws. And in fact, executive orders may violate the law. As a federal employee, you are obligated not to follow illegal orders. That includes illegal EOs.

This is not just a "pause." It is an unlawful destruction now. Foreign aid is a cornerstone of national security with diplomacy and defense. USAID's work reaches 100s of millions worldwide and America will be harmed. Here are some of the lives at stake.

I'm searching for possibilities of funding to cover a sabbatical year as visiting professor abroad in 2026. I'm very interested to collaborate with international researchers within the field of sleep and memory. Please let me know if something interesting comes up.

I want to highlight a special issue in honor of Sarah DuBrow, a brilliant scientist and dear friend who passed away in 2022. We contributed a paper in which we disentangled the importance of temporal and causal relationships while participants recalled the non-linear narrative, Memento. 🧵 ⬇️ 1/9

It’s an incredible feeling to see something you’ve poured your heart into come to life. This work was born from my curiosity about hippocampal “cognitive tuning.” Our interpretation of the environment depends on our actions, constantly evolving as we pursue our goals www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Using high-density electrophysiological recordings, how internally generated cell assemblies are updated by action plans to meet external goals is explored.

Daily rhythms drive dynamism in sleep, oscillations and interneuron firing, while excitatory firing remains stable across 24 h
Electrical patterns in the mouse hippocampus are dynamic across the 24-h (12:12 light:dark) day. Inhibitory neurons show rhythmicity in firing across the day, peaking around light transitions; meanwh...

Rare case where a model 1) accounts for counterintuitive data "out of the box" (untuned visual input can differentially affect in- vs out-field HD neurons), and 2) provides its own counterintuitive insight (vis input to the HD system must be *reduced* by vis objects).
