The dendrite “arms” of some cortical neurons can perform a logic operation — exclusive OR — that once seemed to require a network of entire neurons. Here’s how that changes fundamental models in neuroscience: quantamagazine.org/neural-de…

I thought that Betsy DeVos interview was an episode of Drunk History but turns out she’s the Secretary of Education

First, Trump tries to discredit the American press. Now it's his own Justice Department he's after. If he's not Putin's puppet, he's certainly giving a fine imitation.

Sneak peak at the new #NeuroBytes eye kit, designed by #STEAM and #homeschool educator Ellen McHenry of #brain cap fame. Build your own #retina with NeuroBytes!
During the 2013 #GOPShutdown, @realDonaldTrump said of Pres. Obama “the problems start from the top and have to get solved from the top…” But as President, he says “our country needs a good shutdown.” #TrumpShutdown

Donald Trump ran for President as the great “negotiator.” Well, he negotiated his way into a completely unnecessary shutdown on the one year anniversary of his inauguration. Time to make a deal to protect Dreamers and CHIP, Mr. President.

And when the Children’s Health Insurance Program lapsed over 100 days ago, @HouseGOP were obsessed w/ tax cuts for the super rich. Now, extreme House Rs talk as if they give a damn about kids. I’m not fooled and neither are the American people.

Powerful op ed on freezing classrooms in Baltimore City Schools & our continued failure as a nation to deliver on the promise of Brown v. Board of Ed. As a society, we must do better. @JanieCarnock @nhannahjones cnn.com/2018/01/04/opinions/…

Some more holiday reading: the story of Walter Pitts, the homeless teenager who went on to kick off the field of neural networks (the foundations of many ideas in modern AI), and then burned his PhD thesis, and vanished from view. nautil.us/issue/21/informati…

The power went out at ATL for hours, affecting tens of thousands of people, leaving them stranded in the dark. The power has been out in Puerto Rico for months, affecting millions of people, leaving them stranded in the dark. Many still have no lights. Reflect on that.🇵🇷
