Heartbreaking. NCF is a phenomenal undergraduate liberal arts college where brilliant students and faculty shine despite ever-meager state funding. Of course DeSantis wants to send unqualified buffoons like this absolute conspiracy theorist to squash it.

Lab's first paper is accepted at ICLR! How do you quantify whether two neural nets have similar representations *in the presence of noise*? We provide an answer that is able to capture important noise correlation structure. Full tweet thread to come arxiv.org/abs/2211.11665

There's a school in Florida called New College of Florida. It's notoriously non-traditional, has a highly progressive student body, and a high proportion of LGBTQ+ students. It's also one of the best public colleges in the country and it's in the midst of a political takeover🧵

I wrote about the hostile takeover of New College of Florida by a bunch of grifters trying to get DeSantis elected to president. I hope you read—and start strategizing for when they come for when they come for your Alma mater next. #savenewcollege them.us/story/new-coll…

yay Lauren Ryan !

So excited to see the second half of my dissertation work officially out in Cell Reports ✨ if you’re interested in Inter-areal communications in sensory cortex check it out 💃🏻 big thanks to everyone who worked on this !!

Happy to share my 3rd postdoc paper – using a circuit approach, we linked tau load to the severity of behavioral deficits 🐟 and it all happens without cell death! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Happy new year! So very thrilled to share both my very last tweet, and my very first PhD paper (out today!): bsky.app/profile/paigel… Thanks for the fun, science twitter, and hope to see y'all on bluesky 👋
