Happy to share that I was fully granted tenure at #NIH this week.
Thanks to everyone in the lab past and present, and everyone at NIH and outside who supported us.
The work we do is hard, and only possible with that support. Science is really a team and community effort; a long-term effort.

Despite some ups and downs at NIH, we do have an open position for a postbac and are considering candidates.
Our work is at the intersection of neuroscience and AI, and we aim to understand how the brain's densely connected recurrent networks operate. 🧪

Thank you very much @hhmijanelia.bsky.social and @hhmi.org for inviting me to give a seminar!
That talk was supposed to be today, Tues Mar 11th. I would have talked about @lafosse.bsky.social's work on neural activation functions (con't below)...
But I had to cancel due to the NIH travel ban. 🧪

I just wrote a book about how the type of work @markhisted.org is doing is key to breaking through the bottlenecks holding back new treatments for brain and mental disorders (from Alzheimers to depression). Seeing his work in danger makes me ill, and angry.

ICYMI from a few mos ago, a piece from me in @thetransmitter.bsky.social:
We have incredibly dense recurrent networks in our brains, especially across the cerebral cortex, the structure thought to be responsible for complex cognition. How will we figure out how these biological RNNs… 1/2

What are recurrent networks doing in the brain?
The cortex is filled with excitatory local synapses, but we know little about their role in brain function. New experimental tools, along with ideas from artificial intelligence, are poised to change…

Good news, despite the ongoing things:
@ngfriedman.bsky.social from our lab won a NIH Graduate Student research award for having one of the top posters presented at the all-NIH intramural graduate student research day.
The work is on how brain neural networks re-organize during learning.
