Here are the high level goals / sub projects I had in mind when I started Project Phasor. How else can we facilitate the #NeuroAI and #Neuromorophic ecosystems together?

On @chrislhayes.bsky.social, I called on @schumer.senate.gov to support @kaine.senate.gov, @sanders.senate.gov, Rep. Massie & my resolution opposing a war in Iran. This is a defining moment for our party where too many blundered in supporting the Iraq war.

Now we need to be clear — no war in Iran.

YOUR 30 watt noggin flexin’ its might.
Ever an EXEMPLAR in speed-of-light.
Ladders to the moon in hindsight went NOWHERE
It was BRAIN-like chips that landed us there.

Dally’s FOLLY is now history.
In contrast to Intel and AMD.
STARTUPS too, round the field out
Of HYBRID AIs - without a doubt!

Team Caltech or MIT?
What a FALSE dichotomy!
Team WORLD was where it’s at,
Progress needed many a hat.

Sigma delta nets: THE first gem.
Then mixture of experts: A MILLION of ‘em.
Sparse SSMs so DAMN efficient.
That’s how neuromorphs made their first MINT.

In other words:
Plasticity rules like Oja's let us go beyond studying how synaptic plasticity in the brain can _match_ the performance of backprop.

Now, we can study how synaptic plasticity can _beat_ backprop in challenging, but realistic learning scenarios.

Anyone else interested in academic funding drives that lean into tribalism as a tool for good (and wallet opening)?

What other strategies are people taking to help our academic friends in need?

Brian Anderson @braindersnn.bsky.social · May 11

One thing I’m trying is the #NeuromorphicRivalryFund which will pit different schools and programs against each other on a specific funding topic, but it would be nice if there was a network of such efforts that could gather more attention together.

Brian Anderson @braindersnn.bsky.social · May 11

How should America heal its own academic wounds more than China will?

Research ultimately benefits the world, but funding sources get to peek into the future a little farther and bias academic freedom in their favor. A slight edge in an exponential growth curve separates the winners and losers.

There’s more Chinese grant money in US academics than many realize and I bet it will be less taboo for professors to accept Chinese funds now, given their dire straits.

In the spirit of friendly rivalry, ...

This isn’t particularly useful but, well, I hear from a lot of people from the science-centered agencies these days (NIH, NOAA, EPA, couple others) and the degree of, I dunno, grimness (?) is really palpable. The whole gov scientific enterprise is just getting ground into dust. It sucks so hard.

My PhD student's NSF grant was terminated today. Her dissertation investigates why air pollution monitoring, metrics, and regulations don't properly capture the harms experienced by marginalized communities--esp in the most polluted Detroit neighborhoods. She and I are happy to talk with press etc.
