So happy to announce my first published paper: Neuropixels reveal laminar microcircuit organization in monkey V1 in vivo

I am a pro-AI guy who often gets pigeonholed as an anti-AI guy. I am pro developing and using AI for things AI is good at. I am anti developing and using AI for things that will bring on another AI winter, a mild economic collapse, and make us all look like schmucks in ~5 years.
As a proud Minnesotan, I second this
nearly a thousand entries
Gary Larson: In my cartoon I invented Cow Tools as a cautionary tale
Cows: At long last, we have created the Cow Tools from classic newspaper comic Cow Tools
Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"
I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand
You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen
*Everyone has stories like this*
“Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” she said. “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.”
The woman killed by ICE was Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old who was the mother of a 4-year old child whose father already died a few years ago.
The Star Tribune talked to her mother. www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...
BBC is reporting that the same ICE officer who murdered Renee Good was involved in another violent incident in June.
NOW: Crowd continues to grow in Minneapolis at a vigil where a federal agent shot and killed Renee Good this morning.
“SAY HER NAME!”
“RENEE GOOD!”
If you knew Renee Nicole Good - the 37 year old killed by ICE in Minneapolis today - please text me at 202-510-1268. You can remain anonymous
A meta-analysis of studies using Tolman’s sunburst maze suggests poor replicability and little evidence for shortcutting. Ouch! Definitely relevant reading for anyone interested in cognitive maps! 👇
Given the popularity and centrality of neuronal calcium imaging to systems and cellular neuroscience, it is shockingly under-modelled. Makes me nervous about the conclusions from those studies.
At least the fMRI BOLD interpretation gets routinely debated...
New paper drop! 🧠💊 Our new paper out in Molecular Psychiatry shows that the serotonin 1B receptor is important for the neural and antidepressant/anxiolytic behavioral responses to psilocybin in mice.

Well that’s just absurd…
🚨 We are recruiting a full-time Research Programmer to push forward several exciting machine learning projects in the lab!
Work on computational behavior and joint neural/behavior models. Start date flexible, can be a pre-grad-school position or longer term.

Are manifolds real?
Are latent circuits real?
Tatiana @engeltatiana.bsky.social uses one, infers the other, and says yes to both.
Also, how timescales are different and the same across the entire brain...

A close up of the trophy for the "prix science ouverte du logiciel libre de recherche, édition 2025" (open science prize for free research software, 2025 edition)
My baby #JuliaLang package got an award!
DifferentiationInterface.jl just received a national prize for open-source research software and I couldn't be prouder. We started this from a vague dream with @adrianhill.de, and reached 1000 dependents and 100k downloads last month.
Research != just papers.
Awesome to see the French government recognize our work on open-source software! @ouvrirlascience.bsky.social
Simulation-based inference has really become a commonly used tool for parameter inference across many fields and applications. We (finally...) got together to write a tutorial introduction and guide to (hopefully) help users get started and navigate the different methods and diagnostics!
Check out cool new work from the DePaq lab!
W3/W7/W11 too!
check out the @okaysteve.bsky.social lab’s posters (for both neuron and glia enthusiasts) at #SfN2025 on Saturday PM! especially say hello to @siriacoello.bsky.social who is applying to grad school this cycle✨
And also thanks to @zachloschin.bsky.social and fellow bluesky-less authors for making this happen with me! Of course also a huge shout out to the @julialang.org, the friendliest OSS community ever created. Our GitHub: github.com/depasquale-l...
but Julia has not...until now! This project was incredibly fun and really was a labor of love. Please check us out on GitHub! We are still in active development so the model offerings are only bigger! Special thanks to @briandepasquale.bsky.social for being a phenomenal mentor for this project!
🚨🚨🚨NEW PAPER ALERT🚨🚨🚨
We present StateSpaceDynamics.jl, an open-source Julia package for fitting probabilistic state-space models (SSMs)—including non-conjugate models like Poisson LDS and switching variants (SLDS). Python has had existing packages that have given this functionality...
