Not a lot of leadership around this place, is there?

Yeah, we've noticed, too.

Imagine a brain decoding algorithm that could generalize across different subjects and tasks. Today, we’re one step closer to achieving that vision.

🧠📈 Do neurons of a feather flock together? Not quite.

New evidence shows that neurons of the same specific type tend to avoid each other in space, supporting the mosaic hypothesis in the cortex.

It's terrifying out here in #AcademicSky... and yet I'm still willing to give it a whirl. At least for now.

Join me for my latest blog as I share some reflections on the uncertainty (and maybe thrill??) of careers in the academic sector 🤔

Autistic people oppose a cure to autism and I have a hard time reconciling why that isn't the end to the conversation about it.

Gold has continued to rise as the U.S. dollar weakens and inflation persists, according to the CME Group.

The dollar is down 10% year to date. Additionally, the current rate of inflation is 2.9%, which is above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target.

😵‍💫 Everyone s/b CONCERNED about this. Gold is SOARING 🤷🏻‍♀️

Gold hits $4,000 for the first time ever

The price of gold surpassed $4,000 on Tuesday, Oct. 7. That could be good news if you purchased a Costco gold bar in 2023.

Oh look, we have unique ways of speaking.
Oh look, our unique ways are not deficits.
Oh look, the whole world is behind in understanding us.

But it was never for lack of potential to do so.

As interdisciplinary science is and will continue to demonstrate.

I get a good laugh out of people who add me to targeting moderation lists. Almost as much fun as those who block me because I'm chiseling at their bias (cognitive dissonance).

Oooohhhhh scaryyyyyy analysis!
Those facts are hurting my world view!
Say less! And by all means, please...

The lecturer out of that Louisiana university should be getting all this love. Stanford is great, but also biased; the science and fact of that item (my counter to their spotlight seeking) demonstrates the difference of intention and motivation.

So I prefer that data set because it lacks bias. 🖖

Education is for the future, always. The future rendered into a human. Together we build the future, so why they are not willing to have MORE humans in that activity?

I pitched a Ted Talk about this and they couldn't reject me fast enough.

Challenge: Remove all reference to 'race', 'ethnicity', et al from your daily speech.

Insight: How fast did you hit a wall?

That is how deep this world soaks in bias, bigotry, and yes, "racism".
