"Reproducibility isn’t glamorous, but it’s essential."

@annechurchland.bsky.social speaks candidly in @thetransmitter.bsky.social about the obstacles to reproducibility and shares practical advice for other neuroscience labs.

Reproducibility is a team sport

Building reproducible systems across labs is possible, even in large-scale neuroscience—with rigor and collaboration.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

#JNeurosci: Kashefi et al. dissociate between the “what” and “how” components of motor sequence learning and provides evidence for the development of motoric sequence representations that guide optimal movement execution.

Congrats @vulcnethologist.bsky.social on a great paper! This a cool technology that is the future of tracking motion within the body during behavior. @movementscience.bsky.social this might be what we need for tracking muscles and tendon during movement!

Hey #AcademicSky friends, hope you enjoy my essay just out from THE EDGE newsletter at The Chronicle: "College is Not an Identity Store." www.chronicle.com/newsletter/t...

Why Students Shouldn’t Think of Their Majors as an Identity

Colleges need to help students do the leg work to figure out who they really are.

My process for filtering the literature is to find a small set of authors and read their stuff almost religiously. This is the thing that takes time in a new area, finding the folks I trust to give me a guide to what’s actually challenging or open
