Happy to share our new work on bumblebee isolation! 🐝🧠We found that early social isolation has broad effects on bumblebee behavior, gene expression, & brain development! A Kocher Lab + Joshua Shaevitz Lab collab w/tracking, transcriptomics, & imaging

I suspect the only cognitive enhancers of any real value are sleep, daylight, water and not overworking yourself.

"Acceptability in science depends, not upon anything like a truth-surrogate, but upon the severity of tests." Popper, in Conjectures and refutations.

Just catching up with the Marek paper and associated fallout. It clearly has big implications for predicting/inferring behaviour from neuroimaging data. Likely this is even more concerning for tools with high application variability like #EEG and #fNIRS ? nature.com/articles/d4158…

I spent the first 2.5 years of my PhD on the question “What makes individualised treatment effect estimation an interesting Machine Learning problem (and how do we best solve it)?”. Super excited that a review of lots of things we learned along the way was accepted into… 1/8

Greater stomach-brain coupling is associated with worse mental health. 🧵1/10

Delighted to share our perspective piece “Language is primarily a tool for communication rather than thought” now out in Nature: nature.com/articles/s4158… (with long-term collaborators (and friends) steven t. piantadosi and Ted Gibson, Language Lab MIT) 1/n

The academic job market is funny, because you’ve done everything right but so have the other 900 applicants

Scientists under the constant pressure of continuous evaluations are not thinkers any more. They become producers of papers

Don’t neglect your conclusion - that’s where you gaslight your reader into thinking you made your argument

#Globalwarming It is getting worse year by year. What people don't know is that training #AI model consumes a lot of energy and therefore  pollute as much as airplanes. And we are training bigger and bigger model which means we are polluting more and more ⚠️☢️☣️.

1. Am amazed that people are still surprised by this, since it happens so often. 2. LLMs predict next words; they don’t actually reason or fact-check. If you believe otherwise, you have been had.

More data and more compute power will not yield super intelligence, a better neural architecture ( a new paradigm) will.
