22 years of Brain Science: what CoSyNe tells us about the evolution of Neuroscience Tracking the intellectual DNA of Computational and Systems Neuroscience through its flagship meeting

I tracked every keyword in 22 years of Cosyne abstracts to map how computational neuroscience evolved — from Bayesian brains to neural manifolds to LLMs — and where it's heading next.

Mamdani Chooses His Words Carefully After Alleged Terror Attack

One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...

The @nytimes.com is complicit in the spread of Islamophobia.

everyone said it at the time so this isn’t novel, but the excusing of the IDF bombing schools and hospitals in Gaza was very obviously setting the stage for mass civilian murder from much bigger militaries, and most specifically the US

Massive win for Ukraine.

The Ukrainian General Staff has announced that almost the entire Dnipropetrovsk region has been cleared of enemy presence.

Not a step back.

Expression of Concern: Adaptive Pacing, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Graded Exercise, and Specialist Medical Care for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: A Cost-Effectiveness Analysis

If authors refuse to share code when asked, post-publication, will you retract the article? Or will you just chicken out and put an eternal Expression of Concern on it, like your colleagues at PLOS One did when authors refused to share their data as "required"? journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

That. One of the reasons why I can’t stand the Daily and why I don’t give to NPR. They trivialize what calls for outrage.

Safety for Ruaa | Instagram | Linktree Ruaa is a young woman supporting her family of 7. She is entirely reliant on our help, so we’re stepping up.

Ruaa is permanently banned from bsky, which means her mother’s severe injury is going without sufficient care.

We’re trying to change this equation througj recurring help. Can you click “monthly” on a coffee so her survival doesn’t depend on visibility?

Apartheid you said? To say nothing of the occupied territories where there is no shelters except for the illegal settlers. Boycott Israel.
