Brenda Milner showed the world that memory isn’t one thing — the hippocampus supports our life stories, while other circuits let us keep learning skills.
Her research on patient H.M. built the foundation of cognitive neuroscience.

Why am I doing this? Simon Sinek says that all good stories start with "Why" so... I had a go at starting with "Why", and it changed the way I think about #fairness and #progress.

Personal bias but I liked this transmitter article: www.thetransmitter.org/systems-neur...

“You won’t catch an engineer trying to formulate a grand unified theory of the brain”

“Engineers know how to make things work […] This is what makes engineering closer to biology than to other […] sciences”
Neuroscience needs engineers—for more reasons than you think
Adopting an engineering mindset will help the field focus its research priorities.

Never imagined I would ever say this but... the Barbie movie was one of the best movies I've seen in a very long time. 10/10, no notes. Everyone should watch it.

Long before the binary 0s and 1s of digital computing, analog computers measured the tides, calculated the position of the planets, and predicted eclipses.

You don’t need 0s and 1s to perform computations, and in some cases it’s better to avoid them.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut Education and Science Research the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

This is so demoralising because there's literally nothing you can do as a scientist. By debating a bad actor you give them legitimacy. It's totally on their terms - they can just yell over you, and then it doesn't matter how right you are.

Framing facts vs misinformation as debate is so dangerous.
Joe Rogan hosted RFK Jr. on his podcast, which has millions of listeners.

RFK takes the opportunity to spew anti-vaccine lies.

Renowned scientist Dr. Peter Hotez calls it out.

Rogan gets mad, demands Hotez debate RFK. Elon Musk jumps in and sided with RFK over Hotez.

Twitter needs to end.

"sci-fi version of what he was doing at Neuralink."

Everything Elon has claimed about Neuralink is sci-fi.

The fact that he used intimidation to get a cameo to market his Neuralink is just f*cked up. I don't think anyone should trust Elon with the technology. #neuroskyence

Can we please move Society for Neuroscience conferences in Europe? Or even in Asia? Under Trump, many people are hesitant to come to America.

Tbh, JCO is the perfect critic for Elon's soullessness. The 87 years old author of over a hundred books, and was married to a cognitive neuroscientist, possesses a depth that money can't buy. She crushed the richest man's ego with a lifetime of intellect. A true victory for the Humanities.

We have no electricity, no wifi, and no signal for days now due to supertyphoon. I'm stuck here inside a mall just to connect to the internet and I was starving. I'm running out of money and energy, and another supertyphoon is about to hit.

It's time for people to use their human creativity as the highest form of criticism. We should be done with postmodern deconstructionism that challenged universalism by now.
It's time for you to build or create.

I thought we were already done with postmodern deconstructionism that challenged universalism in the 70s when panpsychism was also revived. After the fall of the Soviet Union, or start of the 21st century, these ideas have been appropriated for economic fraud in the tech sector. Move on from this.
"panpsychism is very far from the neat solution to the problem of consciousness that it’s cracked up to be" Indeed!
