Amazing new paper confirms that evolution has occurred in the human brain after humans left Africa, and that this has driven increased intelligence in Asia & Europe. Yet I bet many academics still fail to accept evolution-based effects on IQ https://t.co/fSUzLS3Kak

This paper shows what the answer might look like: "We formulate the problem of innate behavioral capacity in the context of artificial neural networks in terms of lossy compression of the weight matrix. We find that several standard network architectures can be compressed by several orders of magnitude, yielding pretraining performance that can approach that of the fully trained network." https://t.co/ROp14fPXi7

New Genomic Press Interview with Dr. Siegfried Kasper reveals how a chance observation about sleep patterns launched a career that would transform psychiatry worldwide. From connecting animal research to patient symptoms, this Austrian psychiatrist with 800+ publications changed how we understand depression. Post 1/7

The great Daniel Dennett has died. Terribly sad news. He was a wonderful philosopher and a wonderful human being. I will miss him greatly as I know so many others will too. https://t.co/mK2CVyfrI9

@giuliosf @IMBA_Vienna @oeaw @MedUni_Wien @IHB_Research Warm congratulations to Jürgen on the way to becoming one of the next Nobel Prize candidates. This will undoubtedly greatly advance the research field of cerebral organoids and lead to a significantly better understanding of complex psychiatric disorders and their treatment.

[Institute of Human Biology @IHB_Research]

🎇Big news! Prof Juergen Knoblich @IMBA_Vienna @oeaw @MedUni_Wien joins #TeamIHB as its new Head. Bringing extensive leadership experience, he is also a pioneer in #organoids biology. His lab was 1st to develop an organoid model for a human brain disorder. Welcome @Knoblich_lab!

From an amazing Michael Crichton talk:

“Media carries with it a credibility that is totally undeserved. You have all experienced this, in what I call the Murray Gell-Mann Amnesia effect. (I refer to it by this name because I once
discussed it with Murray Gell-Mann, and by dropping a famous name I imply greater importance to myself, and to the effect, than it would otherwise have.)

Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article
on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the
article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues.
Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them.

In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page,
and forget what you know.

That is the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect. I'd point out it does not operate in other arenas of life. In ordinary life, if somebody consistently exaggerates or lies to you, you soon discount everything
they say. In court, there is the legal doctrine of falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus, which means untruthful in one part, untruthful in all. But when it comes to the media, we believe against
evidence that it is probably worth our time to read other parts of the paper.”
