Best. Text. Ever 🤩
@jhneurostudents really killed it this year, congrats Jess Lin, Rochinelle Dongmo, & @irikasinh !
Huge thanks to my advisor @HyungbaeKwon
& to @TimJSpellman @dr_alexharris
for their supportive mentorship (& letter writing skills :)
Lots more to say on this, & i disagree with the framing here (headline esp.) but appreciate @elliew0lfe giving myself & other concerned grad workers, students , & faculty the opportunity to explain some of our opposition to this bill
A proposed Maryland bill meant to curb hate and discrimination at colleges and universities failed to make it to the governor's desk. But why? My latest story explores the tension between curbing antisemitism and supporting free speech on college campuses:

shout out to the @kaymtye lab for their beautifully commented code, it really helped me build a data collection workflow
(and @jeremydelahanty for pointing me to it )
Looking for package recommendations: I want to run a set of GenICam cameras & sync with an @TDTneuro system via TTL. Trying to write something using Aravis in python- is there a better way to do this/ repo with something similar i can work off ? #neuro #machinevision

I noticed ppl disregarding the NYMag piece bc it focused on Huberman’s personal life, not bad science & harmful misinformation he propagates.
So I wrote a thing.

Daniel Kahneman, our greatest scientist of mistakes, has died.
After drafting the manuscript for Thinking, Fast and Slow, he paid colleagues to provide anonymous advice on whether to abandon it.

Perhaps it’s worth mentioning now, given the news of three Palestinian students that were shot in Vermont while wearing their keffiyehs (same scarf I’m wearing here, which I’ve worn for years), that I recently was spat at while walking home from MIT wearing it and told “fuck you”
Postdoc Ubadah Sabbagh’s journey from Syria to MIT has been marked by determination, courage, and curiosity. “For me, a scientist is a person who is not only in the lab but also has a unique perspective to contribute to society,” he says. mitsha.re/SSkF50PRZiM

Now out in @NeuroCellPress. Rob Fetcho and I further characterized how an ACC -> NAcc pathway integrates physical effort- and reward-related info to drive adaptive behavior. Thanks to @margaux_kenwood @Tachykinin and rest of team! cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S08…
