"You probably want to know how it feels, the rush of electricity coursing across my skin...bifurcating and trifurcating across my limbs – yes, you would like to know, but I won’t tell you."

Looking to take concrete steps to recruit, support, & advance underrep'd minoritized scientists? @GregoryRSL @falklab et al. & I pulled together some resources. Caveats: it's biased toward psyc/neuro & is a WIP. Feedback is MOST welcome; please share!

It's a very, very big deal that Dem insurgents are going to knock off six or seven state senators. Cuomo is the headline, but the caucus that kept the GOP in control of the state senate has been decapitated. #NYPrimary

This is great news, poverty is down, median household income is up.
But it is worth pausing to notice that with 3.9% unemployment we still have 1 in 8 households in poverty.

1/7 Okay dweebs, here’s the science behind that “laurel vs. yanny” thing people keep sending me. It has to do with which frequencies of the sound are actually making it to your brain. This can be affected by several things: headphones / speakers, listening volume, hearing loss...

Grid cells were discovered in 2005. We're excited about our 5th Nature paper showing that agents trained to localise themselves in an environment spontaneously develop grid-like representations, enabling them to take shortcuts using vector-based navigation deepmind.com/blog/grid-cells

Story: 1. Neurons in the brain are very chatty: they fire action potentials, their basic unit of communication, even when there is nothing to communicate. For example in this video, in visual cortex recordings in complete darkness. Lots of chatting:
