Preprints are great... in theory. They get science out fast and without paywalls. But what good is a free archive of all scientific knowledge without journals to tell you which papers are worth your time, and without impact factors to tell you who to hire?

With all the cute, quirky #dalle2 AI images that have been circulating these last few days, I wanted to share some other images* that DALL-E 2 also made that you may not have seen. *Warning: these are quite distressing 1/ 🧵

Congratulations to Ila Fiete on receiving the Swartz Prize for Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience! “Fiete’s body of work has already significantly shaped the field of neuroscience and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future."

Congrats to ⁦biograd alums ⁦Kristin Knouse⁩ (now on the faculty) and Heather keys ⁦MIT Biology⁩ ⁦Koch Institute at MIT⁩ and ⁦Whitehead Institute⁩ for their splendid article in Cell genomics. Way to go!! news.mit.edu/2022/crispr-ge…

Fernanda De La Torre grew up in Mexico and crossed into the US on foot at age 12. For years, she was unhoused and undocumented. Today she’s working in two different labs in MIT's Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences. Watch video: vimeo.com/776357875

An entry level computational neuroscience & machine learning summer school for African nationals is happening in Ghana this June, with input from Janelia and DeepMind (and me)! It's gonna be great. Applications close in ~2 weeks, please share!! trendinafrica.org/computational-…

One week left to apply to our post-bacc program. A great way for students from historically underrepresented backgrounds to get more research experience before grad school. DM me with any questions. bcs.mit.edu/diversity-equi… Please RT.

Today we release LLaMA, 4 foundation models ranging from 7B to 65B parameters. LLaMA-13B outperforms OPT and GPT-3 175B on most benchmarks. LLaMA-65B is competitive with Chinchilla 70B and PaLM 540B. The weights for all models are open and available at research.facebook.com/publications/l… 1/n

Multiple job openings in brain and cognitive science at MIT! One is for experimentalists studying neural circuits for cognition, a second targets computational neuroscientists, and a third is aimed at computational cognitive scientists. Deadline is Nov 15. Links in next tweet...
