Opinion: It’s time to recognize higher education as a matter of national security for Canada
Decades-long efforts to turn higher education into a majority privilege also serve to bolster our physical, economic and social security

During my travels in India, I met with students from Bengaluru who are considering making #UBuffalo their academic home. I was delighted to showcase UB’s academic and research excellence and share the exciting opportunities that await them!

RFK Jr's campaign against public heath is all about ideology. The desire to be free of any regulations you don't like. The freedom to choose what you believe, even if it's dangerously wrong. The supremacy of the individual, regardless of the cost to the collective. bsky.app/profile/pica...

We (I and @willenjoy.bsky.social) created a toolbox for simulations of EEG/MEG because we needed to simulate data. Our initial aim was to simulate connectivity. For this short clip, I simulated two sources with phase connectivity using our toolbox. #brainmovie meegsim.readthedocs.io/en/stable/in...
