Confidence is something we need to instill in ourselves and in our trainees/learners. Too many times mistakes can be made, decisions not taken, and bad situations created because of insecurities and feelings of inadequacy. Instilling confidence is an understated goal in teaching.

[A NeuroTech Future Conference @NTFuture]

Tomorrow is the day! Join us at 9.00 AM, and stick around for exciting talks including @JudyIlles’s keynote. Our interdisciplinary conference brings together the #ethics, #sociology, #law, and #science of #neurotech. Come explore with us what #ANeurotechFuture might look like!

Thank you to my local @ShopprsDrugMart for the first dose of my Covid vaccine today! I encourage all eligible Canadians to get vaccinated so that we can beat this pandemic.

Here's how to use GPT-3 recursively to solve general problems!

Language is an imperfect, incomplete, and low-bandwidth serialization protocol for the internal data structures we call thoughts.

Au Québec, elles sont 11 695 à pratiquer la médecine. Depuis un an, elles sont au front pour vous, en plus d’être mères, sœurs, amies. Aujourd’hui, prenons le temps de souligner leur engagement exceptionnel.

If we frame it right - the joy of returning to campuses could lead to a renaissance in teaching. Maybe we will enter a new golden age of teaching and learning - optimist here

Working with our partners, we will make sure that Canadians have the latest information about how and when they can get vaccinated, but also why they should get vaccinated. https://t.co/UvogKwlqWn

=GPT3()... the spreadsheet function to rule them all.

Impressed with how well it pattern matches from a few examples.

The same function looked up state populations, peoples' twitter usernames and employers, and did some math.

Deep artificial neural networks are inspired by the architecture of the brain's neocortex, but hidden layers of AI aren't the equivalent of cortical layers.

Rather, they are analogous to what we call "areas" in neuroscience.
