A half-century old question may have its final answer. Using high-resolution #Mini2P microscopes, we find no evidence of local topography in #PlaceCells. Place fields of neighbouring cells are no more similar than those of randomly selected cells. 🧠🗺️ Out now in @pnas.org www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
Dramatic Glasgow skyline today (taken from the Hamilton Claypits nature reserve which I just discovered today, only 15 min walk from my flat!)

My thrill for today - cave wetas, on the Coromandel Peninsula, NZ 😳
Why is it easier for me to log in to my bank account than to freaking Scopus?😡
Are and have been from the get-go. The pollution is rapid and pervasive

Best advice is to wear little bells, so the bears know you're coming, and carry bear spray. It also helps to be able to identify scat. Black bear scat has undigested bits of berries and twigs. Grizzly bear scat smells like bear spray and has little bells in it.
London prices are truly insane
do i have this about right?
university admins claim that they know (somehow) that AI is “the future” and that we have to train students to have the skills to work in environments that (will) require AI, but ...

It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.
Oh wow! What's the paradigm?

So, PayPal is being automatically linked to our FB accounts - I feel we should have been asked if we wanted that? 🤔
O.M.G.
Then - yep
Are any data protection experts reading this? This seems really unethical to me (use of a passenger manifesto for immigration status assessment):

Is there an age limit? 😬
