Haaretz Exposé | Two Netanyahu Advisers Involved in BibiLeaks Affair Built a PR Campaign to Improve Qatar's Image

Two of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s closest and most senior advisers built a PR campaign to whitewash Qatar’s image around the globe – ahead of the 2022 World Cup soccer tournament held there.

The two, Yonatan Urich and Israel Einhorn, operated through their company Perception, which advises politicians all over the world, two sources familiar with the campaign told Haaretz. They partnered with another Israeli company and created for Qatar – the main financial backer of Hamas – a marketing plan to foster its image as a country striving for peace and stability. Urich and Perception both told Haaretz they denied the claims in this report.

@KordingLab It annoys me more when people confuse a hypothesis with a prediction :0
Someone told them that a hypothesis is "an educated guess" and they are doomed.

NSF makes you say who you got conflicts (coauthored) with. We (really just Jordan Matelsky @j6m8 ) just built you a tool for that. Literally one click (on top of revealing your name): https://t.co/nkl7fa5g8H - one of the most useful tools the lab ever built.

Analyzing neural data ? Consider using pynapple https://t.co/EI8QnXaWsO great package by @apeyrache

[Prof. Nikolai Slavov @slavov_n]

Dimensionality reduction can "see" structures that do not exist & miss structures that exist.

Use it sparingly and evaluate conclusions in the high dimensional data.
