This is an atrocity. Amer was 14-years-old. He was an American citizen, from Saddle Brook, NJ. How can the Israeli military possibly justify shooting and killing an American teenager in cold blood? The US must step in and stop this madness.

A Palestinian-American Princeton University student tells the heartbreaking story of her two little cousins, and delivers a message to Naftali Bennett (who that day was coming to speak at Princeton University).

BREAKING: A judge just ruled that Mahmoud Khalil can be deported on the paltry evidence submitted by the government — a 2-page letter that *admits* Khalil's conduct was not unlawful, but says his beliefs undermine "core American interests" @delaneynolan.bsky.social zeteo.com/p/breaking-mah…

The role of faculty allies is NOT to curb students' radicalism. It's to protect students and support them. If you can't participate in action because of your own position, fine. But students are the radical flank of the movement & you should never try to reign them in.

🚨BREAKING | Officials Confirms Raids in Multiple Cities; TAHRIR Coalition Says FBI Agents, Michigan State Police, and Local Officers Targeted Pro-Palestine Organizers Law enforcement raided multiple homes across Michigan on Wednesday. Officials confirmed the operations but

🚨MIT Cuts Ties With Israeli Weapons Maker Elbit Systems After Student-Led Campaign In one of the most high-profile academic dissociations from an Israeli weapons manufacturer in the U.S. to date, MIT has cut ties with Elbit Systems following a six-month campaign led by the MIT

How do language models generalize from information they learn in-context vs. via finetuning? We show that in-context learning can generalize more flexibly, illustrating key differences in the inductive biases of these modes of learning — and ways to improve finetuning. Thread: 1/

🚨Smotrich: Gaza Aid Is Just Enough to Avoid ‘War Crimes’ Charges While We ‘Annihilate’ the Strip Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich gave a speech Monday defending Israel’s strategy of mass devastation in Gaza, saying humanitarian aid is only being allowed in “so the

How do different brains create unique visual experiences from identical sensory input? New preprint w/ @MichaelFBonner: "High-dimensional structure underlying individual differences in naturalistic visual experience" 🧠 arxiv.org/abs/2505.12653

What are the organizing dimensions of language processing? We show that voxel responses are organized along 2 main axes: processing difficulty & meaning abstractness—revealing an interpretable, topographic representational basis for language processing shared across individuals.

I don’t know if Americans realize how often ICE arrests US citizens, and how long those citizens can spend detained. I spoke to Davino Watson, who spent 3.5 years in a detention center. He was a citizen every minute of that time. 1/3

Our first NeuroAgent! 🐟🧠 Excited to share new work led by the talented Reece Keller, showing how autonomous behavior and whole-brain dynamics emerge naturally from intrinsic curiosity grounded in world models and memory. Some highlights: - Developed a novel intrinsic drive

I wrote abt u-mich hiring undercover investigators to spy on pro-Palestinian campus groups. Investigators drove a car at a student, pretended to be disabled, accused a student of robbing them, etc. Incl jaw dropping video theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j…

BabyLMs first constructions: new study on usage-based language acquisition in LMs w/ Leonie Weissweiler, Cory Shain. Simple interventions show that LMs trained on cognitively plausible data acquire diverse constructions (cxns) babyLM 🧵

Excited to share project specifying a research direction I think will be particularly fruitful for theory-driven cognitive science that aims to explain natural behavior! We're calling this direction "Naturalistic Computational Cognitive Science"

To help computational cognitive scientist engage with more naturalistic experiments, I've made NiceWebRL. NiceWebRL is a Python library for designing human subject experiments that leverage machine reinforcement learning environments. github.com/KempnerInstitu…

[#ICML2025] If steering vector can be multiplied by a scalar to control its effect, why it should be a vector instead of a steering "region"? We introduce distribution-wise intervention, a simple method that directly learns the latent intervention region through
