Hotel and airport bars are elite. Just a brilliant microcosm of life.

Forty-two new interactive tutorials accompany the book Elements of fMRI, offering runnable code in both Python and MATLAB directly within a browser. These resources span seven sections ranging from conceptual foundations to machine learning and AI applications.

The “hard problem” of consciousness isn’t. The supposed gap between brain explanation and experience is a self‑serving illusion. What we call the hard problem is cognitive bias, not reality.

At the same time, the ‘youth peak’ group showed what appear to be normative developmental changes in these systems across adolescence:
• Impulsivity decreased
• Tissue iron increased
• Early group differences in iron and impulsivity became substantially smaller by adulthood

[Ashley Clare Parr @AshleyClareParr]

What drives youth substance use (SU) and what distinguishes youth-limited patterns from those that continue to escalate into adulthood?
We followed >800 youth across adolescence into adulthood in the NCANDA-A cohort.

College football is the best. What a silly ending.

When this goes where I know it's going, we won't gatekeep.

New fans, bandwagoners, every one of you who just shows up when it's good - we will welcome you. I will welcome you.

But I'm gonna remember every ride or die who went through it with us. Y'all will always be different.

Breaking: UC Berkeley President James Milliken is reportedly “open to the idea” of halting the university’s football program as athletic debt continues to mount.

Milliken cited a small fanbase, empty stadium, and poor on-field results. Confirmed by @PeteThamel and @OS_Beaver.

@ThinkNBoutStuff Forward implies direction to some. I mean time. Your last step is death I suppose in that case. Hi Steve

In an unprecedented move, the US National Institutes of Health has begun mass terminations of research grants that fund active scientific projects because they no longer meet “agency priorities”.

Protect Jameis at all costs.

Jameis Winston can talk pregame, halftime or postgame anytime he wants.

Since we're talking about funding of absurd research by NIH and other federal agencies, the funded scientists:

- watching flies fuck
- giving rats massages
- spending years digging into why jellyfish glow
- tracking penguin poop from space
- using horseshoe crab blood

[dan @djpetrie0]

@TwistNHook @AdmiralBear01 Cal football fun. Yes.
