Optical Synapses are here—e. g., drive gamma by long range bioluminescent inputs to optogenetic fast-spiking cells in vivo. Amazing science with great colleagues @glowup@diane_lipscombe@NathanShaner @BiolumHub@ngfriedman138 among others https://t.co/u8ZtpVSAYv
The @BrownUniversity lab of @tserre catches flaws in AI-enabled tech - before people need these systems most. Learn how Serre and his @CarneyInstitute team debunked claims that an AI model could spot cancer better than a pathologist: https://t.co/tJkG0FK5uv

@TonyZador@SebastianSeung I think I agree, Tony, there’s more beneficial cross talk emerging all the time. It will not all be cross talk, and the descriptors are hugely useful, but the connection points give a great tie hold on the climb.
This is a great gov't initiative. A few months ago there was a big blow-up about a scientific illustration company, w/ complaints about its cost, and bad licensing terms for drawings.
Now @NIAIDNews / @NIH made a bunch of drawings for the public domain. That's a service...1/

@NicoleCRust@IshmailSaboor@DrWoappi@Columbia Hey, cool when you get to listen into the conversation bt scholars you think are great. And, yes—@dddavi recently suggested that a new textbook is needed, and I agree strongly. What should we call it?…
I am delighted to share our new paper: "Diversity of ancestral brainstem noradrenergic neurons across species and multiple biological factors." This is the outcome of a collaboration of 20 laboratories spanning 9 countries.

@jocnforum @mitpress really taking the idea of a ‘soft launch’ to heart, lol (it’s the best “washed-out-and-grainy” that they could pull off on short notice 😅)
