In light of Sim saying that he said Orr dealt drugs based on seeing a mystery photo from a mystery person, I think it’s important to reflag this.
If this is an uncharitable interpretation, the mayor is free to provide more details of how he ended up seeing such a photo and believing it.
I am recruiting a new graduate student for September. Comp neuroscience type approaches, definitely fmri based. Possible specific topics include dense longitudinal scanning in psychosis, or the effects of psilocybin on brain function in depression.
Look me up and send me an email if interested.
German Jews were citizens of Germany at the start of 1933. By the end of 1933, the Nazis had
removed citizenship from naturalized citizen Jews.
In 1935, all German Jews were fully stripped of their German citizenship.
Citizenship under dictatorships is contingent for targeted minorities.
Controversial? Classic?
What if rest is not best? 🤔
Congrats to @halleeshearer.bsky.social for this thoughtful commentary, and thanks to @ninetlab.bsky.social for the 🎬 movie x rTMS 🧲 collaboration. doi.org/10.1162/IMAG...
So cool!! Great work Hallee 😮🤩
Worth noting that because Sim brought forward his proposal for a property tax freeze requiring millions in cuts with just weeks left in the budget process, this is not up for public debate and is not outlined in the documents available to councillors when they vote on this
Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.
Over 40% of brain-behavior effects were likely overestimated due to motion. There was no correlation between a trait’s a priori correlation with motion and its motion overestimation score. Calculating the motion impact score was necessary to discover the problematic brain-behavior effects!

New research published in Nature draws a direct link between high-emitting fossil fuel and cement companies and the frequency and severity of heat waves, including the 2021 heat dome that caused 619 deaths in BC www.nationalobserver.com/2025/09/10/n...
Let’s be clear about the wildfires - endless logging and fossil fuel expansion have made this situation worse.
It's shameful to see politicians pushing for the expansion of logging and fossil fuels as we experience and witness this devastation. #wildfires #cdnpoli

“I think the best word is validation”: Residents react to research showing immediate health improvements after the closure of a coal processing plant.
Delighted to share our latest review in Nature Reviews Neuroscience!
We examine the growing evidence that vascular dysfunction plays a key role in cognitive decline in ageing and dementia, and argue that preserving/restoring CBF should be central to future therapies.

6/ Indeed, to achieve high prediction performance, 10-min scans are cost inefficient. In most scenarios, the optimal scan time is ≥20 min. On average, 30-min scans are the most cost effective, yielding 22% savings over 10 min scans. Overshooting is cheaper than undershooting ...
Alligator Alcatraz is the American Dachau. The first concentration camp. The Nazis initially portrayed Dachau as a proper prison with proper treatment.
Trump prefers to promote the cruelty and barbarism.

"Dr. Kobak and his team calculate that at least 13.5 percent of all biomedical abstracts appeared to have been written with the help of chatbots."
Not so surprising, given tools like Writefull (now integrated into Overleaf) that are explicitly marketed to scientists for this purpose.
Thrilled to see our TinyRNN paper in @nature! We show how tiny RNNs predict choices of individual subjects accurately while staying fully interpretable. This approach can transform how we model cognitive processes in both healthy and disordered decisions. doi.org/10.1038/s415...
Graphs showing 25 years of budgets for the National Institute of Health, NASA, and the NSF. In all cases, the proposed budget for next year is far, far below any year of the previous quarter century.
There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

My med school textbook says stimulants like Ritalin treat hyperactivity by “stimulating” the brain’s attention and cognitive control systems. We studied children taking stimulants in the ABCD Study, and the largest differences were actually in arousal and reward networks! Check out our preprint!
1. Over the past four months I've talked with many foundation directors about science philanthropy during Trump 2.0.
Two things come to the fore every time.
i) The most important they can do is maintain the pipeline of talent
ii) With the federal govt pulling out, ROI is higher now than ever.
