A compelling example of how neuroscience research can help us use the brain's own adaptability to fight disease.
This is why biomedical research is so important!

Why would I co-produce a science podcast?
I think everyone needs to understand, especially now, how valuable the methods of science are to our world. We hope to show the science skeptical and science curious why biomedical science is so amazing.

Its a risk, yeah. But given its stability for so many years and contracts with government and big corporations you'd at least see something like that coming a long way away.
C++ is a better language in general to be sure, ... but not for neuroscience.
Hot take: MATLAB will last longer than Python.

Arguments covered in the post:
1. Python is free, just like science.
2. Python is opens source.
4. People don’t switch to Python just because they’re lazy and don’t want to port legacy code.
5. Python does deep learning though, which is hot.
?. Why do you hate Python, you hater?

That sucks. Very much feel your pain on that.
But you stack up the number of times that happens with MATLAB (once in my entire science career) vs the number of times that stuff happens with my Python stack... well.

If you're doing #neuroscience out there, you don't have to be peer pressured to switch from #matlab to python. You do you. ❤️

I'm convinced by the thread.
It feels like you're saying that neural activity being correlated with, or even partially caused by, some stimulus isn't sufficient for it to count as a representation.
Representation is teleological on this account. Seems appropriate.

I was very pleased with myself after doing the Question and Hypothesis boxes and getting 8/10. I was considerably less smug after instructing an LLM to do the next two boxes and earning a 6 and 7 / 10.

This is a great idea.
Now, how to convince trainees to use it...
I've never written the project abstract in the planning phase before. I'll give that a try going forward. Writing grants forces you to do a lot of this work.
