A new method informed by data and models to recover information about investor beliefs, from Xiaohong Chen, Lars Peter Hansen, and Peter G. Hansen nber.org/papers/w27257

Liqun and I wrote this piece Cell discussing how to better mentor undergrads in biomed research. Many memory recalls of my undergrad years - grateful to all my advisors, mentors, colleagues, and friends! cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Our article on the geometry of neural representations came out today in Cell: The Geometry of Abstraction in the Hippocampus and Prefrontal Cortex cell.com/cell/fulltext/… Many new exciting results compared to the biorxiv version.

Excited to share that the work I participated as a visiting undergrad just came out on ⁦Neuron⁩! This work shows that the ACC predicts future states given chosen actions in a sequential two-step decision making task. cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

Congrats to Adrian Bondy, Thomas Luo and co-authors on a new paper in eLife: elifesciences.org/articles/59716. Highlighting how to RE-USE Neuropixels while maintaining high yields in unrestrained rats!

A new method informed by data and models to recover information about investor beliefs. Congrats Peter Hansen!

Congratulations to Peter Hansen, Peter Hansen, on a successful dissertation defense today with MIT Sloan School of Management's Finance group! 🏆

Congratulations, Dr. Peter Hansen!!! Peter Hansen

BREAKING NEWS: The 2021 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded jointly to David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian “for their discoveries of receptors for temperature and touch.”

People have long thought that astrocytes release something that kills neurons, which could partly explain why neurons die in injury/neurodegenerative disease. In a paper that just came out, we think we found one of these long-sought toxic factors! (1/8) go.nature.com/3afi6si

Today we report in Cell an engineered virus-like particle (eVLP) platform that mediates efficient in vivo delivery of therapeutic proteins, including base editors and Cas9 nuclease, resulting in therapeutic editing in multiple mouse organs. 1/14 drive.google.com/file/d/1GdJLA4…
