This year I’ve been volunteering for The OpEd Project by helping writers from different backgrounds refine and place opinion pieces. They sent me a holiday gift! They didn’t need to. It’s been wonderful to work with these writers.

🔈 My first op-ed as a Public Voices Fellow on Technology in the Public Interest with The OpEd Project, out today, encourages health organizations to remember that AI is not the solution to every problem; instead, community priorities, not technology, should come first. 🔈

Recently have been doing virtual reality experiments with mice in complex, open world environments.
No linear tracks.
No T-mazes.
No simple gratings.
No binary choices.
No blocky, high contrast environments.
Those are great for some experiments, but we want to focus on COMPLEX processing. (6/n)
