This summer my lab's journal club somewhat unintentionally ended up reading papers on a theme of "more naturalistic computational neuroscience". I figured I'd share the list of papers here 🧵:

I wonder, where would be a good place to do modeling and chat with many people that study different species or do comparative studies? (asking for a friend)
To identify fundamental neuroscientific principles that generalize across species, systems and circuits, neuroscientists must embrace an evolutionary perspective, argue Karl Farrow and @katjareinhard.bsky.social.

Systems and circuit neuroscience need an evolutionary perspective
To identify fundamental neuroscientific principles that generalize across species, neuroscientists must frame their research through an evolutionary lens.

Working with Dan was the best work experience I ever had, don't miss out
On that note, I'll be looking for postdocs, students, and likely a computational lab tech/lab manager or research software engineer. Please share, and if this kind of work (and the prospect of helping get a new lab off the ground) sounds interesting to you, please reach out!

Delighted to be in Leeds joining the School of Computing! Fantastic first impressions — like a "less offensive London" (youtu.be/watch?v=_6_VVLgrgFI). Stay tuned for a PhD position starting next October. Meanwhile, drop me a message with your CV and research interests—I'd love to hear from you!
Pleased to welcome @repromancer.bsky.social - a computational neuroscientist - to the @universityofleeds.bsky.social today - working on the boundary of neuroscience and AI. Welcome Jonathan!

The system seems to be finally broken
The rate if change here is truly scary. Ocean temperatures affect more than most people think, from the food chain to biodiversity to weather and sea level rise.

As a starter, would like to raise a problem in AI ethics.
