A new theory of neural population dynamics incorporates biophysical nonlinearities, bridging the gap between the complex biophysics of single neurons and simplified population-level models. Read https://t.co/HhiAnBSE4g @gkochocker@StatisticsBu@buCSNneuro#PRXjustpublished
Every mathematician and physicist is aware of Green's theorem, which has numerous applications.
TIL that Green's theorem was self-published by George Green(1793-1841), who was entirely without formal mathematical education at that point.

1/ New paper! https://t.co/E1iAwyqr3g with @_szhang@aaronclauset @DanLarremore.
🎓 We analyzed all 295K tenure-track faculty at US PhD-granting universities in 10,612 departments over 10 years to quantify hierarchy and dynamics in US faculty hiring and retention.
🦥 A summary:
We recently wrapped up another great year of the Summer Workshop on the Dynamic Brain, dubbed “neuroscience summer camp,” a 2-week intensive training course based around newly emerging datasets from @AllenInstitute.
From last night at the @AllenInstitute /@uwcnc Summer Workshop on the Dynamic Brain.. students working hard into the night as they have been throughout. Project presentations today showing the fruits of learning and labor— great job! Congrats to all, including our awesome TAs
We just released the largest dataset of #Neuropixels recordings ever collected with detailed information from more than 300,000 neurons 😯 These data are freely available to speed #neuroscience research & discovery: https://t.co/x8f6o36c2V | #openscience 🧵2
My 2nd “written by witten” column is out. Thanks to @InstMathStat for giving me a platform. Also, I hope the fact that it was published on April 1 doesn’t detract from the gravitas of this piece!

I wrote a comp neuro textbook.
Two years ago I began compiling the notes from my undergrad comp neuro course into a single document and the project gradually grew into a proper book.
It needs some work before I call it a final draft, but it's 95% done.

When you ask the authors of articles in Science® to share their data, which the journal told you was mandatory when you submitted your article, the response very often boils down to GFY. https://t.co/E9XUzljNCT
