📢Publication Alert! Our latest #connectomics work is out in Cerebral Cortex. We have analyzed one of our favorite open datasets: @AllenInstitute 's MICrONS cortical mm^3. In this EM dataset we found new rules for neuronal connectivity & describe them

"rising inequality is legitimated by the popular belief that the income gap is meritocratically deserved: the more unequal a society, the more likely its citizens are to explain success in meritocratic terms... the less important... a person’s family wealth and connections."
Where did Trump voters get their news? 📰
Yes, there's social and partisan sites, but there is another influential strategy that isn't getting enough attention: Manipulated, pay-to-play and all out fake news sites
I've been covering a mix of those for years. Here's a primer

Amazing to be a part of this project to build and simulate a general model of an entire cortical region with EM-based connectivity. The model has already been used to study plasticity, spike sorting, LFP, EEG, activity propagation between cortical areas, coding + structure/func
Welp, time to shake this off, finish making my slides, and show up to show some students how cool plant bioengineering is. The next 4 years will be full of anti-science clownery and I won't stand idle. It takes a village, so let's pour foundations and do it right.
For a while I was thinking about "Full-stack microscopy", discipline that combines few areas of engineering, biology, and computer science to build well-rounded imaging specialist

This resulted in a paradoxical outcome. Exclusionary beliefs & behaviors increased nationwide, but that increase was much SMALLER in the districts that received MORE refugees. Districts with FEWER refugees drove the national level threat.
If you didn't yet have enough good reasons to share your bioimage data, Matthew (@BioimageA), Josh (@notjustmoore), Erin (@tuesdaystitches), Assaf (@AssafZaritsky) and I are here with squirrel drawings to convince you that you should do it:
