Nice to see @nytimes.com is pushing another framing where the consumption of inedible products is a mark of "sophistication." First chocolate and coffee, now yogurt. Is nothing sacred?
The average American eats nearly 14 pounds of yogurt each year, and there is a head-spinning amount of it that can be found in the dairy aisle. To make sense of it all, we tasted 54 plain cow’s milk yogurts. Here are the best: nyti.ms/3X7qwdE

If an academic shows up dressed like this for their talk, brace yourselves for some questionable methods and unwarranted causal claims.

Why do brain networks vary? Do these differences shape behavior? If every 🧠 is unique, how can we detect common features of brain organization?
