My PhD advisor (and now friend, colleague, and mentor) Art Wingfield is somewhat retired now, but hangs out in my lab and continues to give me advice.
This week I sent him a grant I'm working on. He got me comments in 24 hours, and I thanked him. His reply:
"I am here for you, as always."

It was believed in medieval times that hedgehogs had spikes so they could roll over fruit to carry home to their children, which is not true but is a really cute idea

I’m glad we have a day set aside to celebrate women and girls in science. My academic journey is full of women mentors, colleagues, and collaborators. Special shout out to current NU colleagues @laurelgd.bsky.social @briemreid.bsky.social @qzhever.bsky.social @sneuroble.bsky.social 🧠

Found one in the wild! Models of the language network in a published paper in a (presumably) predatory journal.
I think I'd be concerned if a patient had four anterior temporal lobes in their lert hemisphere, it might affect their conprehension

I just whipped up this little #QuartoPub site last week that demonstrates how I teach p-values/hyp-testing through simulation both with live OJS and with #rstats, and I think it's super neat! It has examples for diff-in-means, diff-in-props, and regression slopes nullworlds.andrewheiss.com #statsky

This article immediately labels @emilymbender.bsky.social and I as "curmudgeons" because we don't think that the spicy auto complete has a concept of the self.
Experiments conducted with the A.I. system Claude are producing fascinating results—and raising questions about the nature of selfhood. Gideon Lewis-Kraus reports from inside the company that designed it, Anthropic. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/rOfXjg

Has anyone ever watched a movie on a zoom call (assuming everyone has good internet etc.)? Considering this as a class activity but don't want to try if it's likely to be a disaster.
(In the past I've done like an Amazon Prime Video watch party but they don't have those any more...)

The ggseg ecosystem finally has a proper home! 🧠
For those who don't know, ggseg is an R package ecosystem for visualizing brain atlas data. Think ggplot2, but for brains.

Sometimes people complain that you don't use high school math the rest of your life
But I have 6 hours to write a 6-page research strategy
So that's 1 page per hour
At 540 words per page I only need to type 540/60 = 9 words per minute and I'll be done
