Meet the recipients of the 2024 ACM A.M. Turing Award, Andrew G. Barto and Richard S. Sutton! They are recognized for developing the conceptual and algorithmic foundations of reinforcement learning. Please join us in congratulating the two recipients! bit.ly/4hpdsbD

A brilliant lab manager in my dept will likely have her only PhD offer rescinded due to funding reductions. Her visa ends in June - this has turned her world upside down. If you know of any post-bacc psychology jobs that would sponsor an international applicant please share. 🙏

People have overheated imaginations about what is happening at Columbia! Someone asked me today after synagogue whether people on campus knock off my yarmulke. I told him that what has happened instead is that my yarmulke has blown off & 5 people rush to give it back to me.

New preprint, tweetorial coming soon. With Angela Ianni, MD, DPhil

Science is like assembling a mosaic: each person contributes a few small, unique pieces. Some refine one piece until its flawless, others discover entire fragments that seamlessly interlock, and sometimes a giant steps back, discerns a new structure and enables the completion of

In systems and behavioral neuroscience, my advice is to assume that something else can explain your data better than the variable you currently prefer. Be as paranoid as you can. Investigate carefully and resist easy explanations. e.g. a burst of neural activity at the time

The ClopathLab has a fully funded PhD position open for Oct in Computational Neuroscience at Imperial College London. If you are interested, just send us an informal e-mail!

A paralysed man in Japan stood on his own after receiving an injection of reprogrammed stem cells - a groundbreaking moment for regenerative medicine! This is why we support science!

Curiosity is not a luxury; it's the engine of human progress. Every discovery begins with the simple act of asking why.

Hey folks! I'll be teaching two workshops in May on Structural Equation Modeling! One course is introductory (May 7-9): smart-workshops.com/intro-sem-info The other is on longitudinal models (May 14-16): smart-workshops.com/long-sem-info 🙏Please RT and share! 🙏 Let met tell you more... 1/4

does nature, in the form of neural ensembles, prefer winner take all (first past the post) voting or ranked choice voting? Making an analogy to Democratic systems on this primary election day. Can a neuron represent multiple simultaneous and competing options?

Too many families have watched loved ones suffer from neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, ALS, and Parkinson’s. But with some of the top research institutions in the world calling our Commonwealth home, it’s past time we put them to work conducting groundbreaking

I’m assembling a group of scientists to publicly address the potential upcoming NIH 40% budget cut. This will be a very public matter. Direct message me if you’re interested. But this will be the only issue we’re going to address. Not university politics, immigration etc. 40%…!

Hard to beat this view 😍

My lab at Weizmann Institute was completely demolished by the Iranian missile a few days ago. This is hard and sad as nothing was left to save. We study heart regeneration and regenerative medicine. As such, we will regenerate, regrow and rebuild. The one thing that wasn't gone is

NIH is still accepting research applications to the Autism Data Science Initiative, an important effort that will help us find answers on the causes of autism. bit.ly/43NzjFU

#PittMed’s Rebecca Thurston, a nationally known leader in women’s health, will join a global team that aims to reduce the lifetime risk of Alzheimer’s disease in women by half. bit.ly/4lS6oH9

13 years ago today, the discovery of the Higgs boson, the central piece of the Standard Model, was announced! What’s something you've always wanted to know about the Higgs boson? Ask away!

I’m thrilled to share that my new first-author manuscript is now published! We found that PTSD symptom severity is related to acquired suicide capability through dissociation and alcohol use in National Guard members! dx.doi.org/10.1111/sltb.7…
