Seeing this comic get brought up again, and I don't think I'll ever stop feeling overjoyed that it's been able to help even a single person. Am I Queer Enough? thenib.com/am-i-queer-eno… via The Nib ✒️

So excited to introduce this new work from myself, Thalia Wheatley , and meghan meyer (@[email protected]) out now in PNASNews! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Integrating brainstem and cortical functional architectures | nature.com/articles/s4159… led by Justine Hansen in Nature Neuroscience 400 cortical regions + 58 brainstem nuclei. Lesgo 🤘🕶️⤵️

Tell me this isn't the most appealing equation of them all? Not too long ago I would have never considered it so.

I’ve been waiting for this moment!

Maybe the most powerful figure I’ve seen this year: the racial gap in tickets from speed cameras vs. officer stops. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Can new targets for Parkinson’s disease be identified by examining pathology patterns in the brain? We are very excited to share our latest preprint where we explore exactly that question. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to have this newest preprint from the lab out! There is a lot here to see: pathology maps, a new mouse gene expression atlas, new targets for Parkinson’s!

Dani Bassett Dani S. Bassett and Lauren Ross Lauren Ross unpack the term “mechanism” and explore its use in different subfields of neuroscience. @ar0mcintosh, Antonia Kaczkurkin, and Luiz Pessoa also share their thoughts. thetransmitter.org/the-big-pictur…

Busybody or hunter? Dani S. Bassett of Penn Bioengineering and @eseatpenn studied Wikipedia browsing patterns to uncover insights into how people learn online. Their research sheds light on curiosity-driven learning paths in the digital age. bit.ly/4ekDsU1

A Penn team worked with Wikimedia Foundation to analyze the browsing habits and curiosity styles of over 480,000 people across 50 countries. The study was led by led by Dani S. Bassett & Dale Zhou with contributions from Shubhankar Patankar. #PennBioengineering Read more: bit.ly/3YoclBs

Apropos of nothing... our new paper finds that Americans overestimate how undemocratic the other side is. When they learn what the other side really thinks, they support democracy more themselves. Democracy is probably more popular than you realize! academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/arti…

What a fantastic pair 😊 tiny mycena for #twosday #fungi #macro #nature #wildlife #tuesdaymorning #thephotohour

For the first time in history, the United States has a sitting congressperson who is transgender. Congratulations to Sarah McBride, whose race was just called by MSNBC. She wins in a year where a historic amount of anti-trans ads were blared across TV screens in America.

Incredible news. Zooey Zephyr, my fiancée, was re-elected to the Montana House of Representatives, getting 83% of the vote. Many of you will remember her for standing up for trans people in Montana, and then getting censured and kicked off the House floor. I'm so proud of her.

Big news out of Iowa! Iowa has elected its first transgender House of Representatives member, Aime Wichtendahl after winning a tightly contested election. She will join a growing number of trans legislators and will make history in the state of Iowa.

Brianna Titone, transgender legislator in Colorado, wins her re-election. She helped make the state of Colorado a refuge state for transgender people.

A collaborative team of researchers led by UC Irvine postdoc Dale Zhou and The Warren Center for Network & Data Sciences faculty affiliate Dani S. Bassett looked at how nearly half a million people around the world use Wikipedia’s knowledge networks. penntoday.upenn.edu/news/studying-…

New preprint with Dani S. Bassett and Nathaniel Daw! How do humans learn predictive representations? We propose a trial-by-trial learning rule that incorporates trace updating to learn the SR. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
