@andrewmccalip Besides the very neat placement, what do you think made your approach work that Brave browser's rewards failed with? Theirs is similar: get paid for watching ads while browsing. Is it just that people hated crypto in their browser so much?

My group at Science has been running a big campaign to engineer new channelrhodopsins.

Excited to share the first results from it today: a suite of highly sensitive new opsins.

We call them "WAChRs".

Everyday indoor office lighting is enough to activate them pretty strongly.

Pandas are legit just on this planet for vibes 😂😂

@DavidAMarkowitz The depth is only 900um. Only relevant for cortex, and seems pretty similar to COSMOS from Deisseroth group published back in 2020. Very impressive, but still far from whole brain

@SocDevBio @Luiza_O_Saad Am I the only one who sees an octopus-matrix-bear in this?

@hhlee How feasible would it be to modify filamentous cyanobacteria like Anabaena to act as electric eel electrocytes in these reactors? Seems like engineering voltage sensitivity into septal junctions is the only hurdle in the way of making it a carbon negative electricity source...

sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from biology

Today at @CellSystemsCP we report in back-to-back papers (!) led by @nbwang22 on how cell state potentiates the influence of individual transcription factors to drive cell-fate programming
&
how we used these insights to scale up production of motor neurons from primary fibroblasts, allowing us to deliver these directly converted neurons into the brains of mice.

Updated tweetorial coming soon (links below!)

@GallowayLabMIT Seems like the paper 1 link is broken

Science Corp. has created its own line of neurons that it's fusing with an animal's existing neurons via an implant, and we may end up with monkeys playing poker. How's your Thursday? https://t.co/IrkzreRUBd

@wasserstein_rao I feel like an open discussion of these issues between you and someone from @FutureHouseSF might be extremely interesting!

🚀 Excited to finally lift the lid on what I’ve been working on for the past 2.5 years! This journey has been all about pushing boundaries in biohybrid technologies and neuroscience. Check out the full story here:

It is universally acknowledged that raw data can give more information than the high-level summaries in the figures/methods. But sometimes it is TMI

Ok, everyone is moving to bluesky this weekend, let's try it out. I'm just "keyreel" there.

@ElliotHershberg What if instead of electrons it's the ions that create the current?
