I’m really enjoying doing a lot of work in Julia these days, tackling work where Python struggles. This is a fantastic resource!
Scientific Modeling Cheatsheet: #MATLAB vs #Python vs #Julialang

Side-by-side comparison for:
• Differential equations
• Optimization
• Automatic differentiation
• Symbolic computing
• More!

Highlights ecosystem differences & best practices.

Incredible. Beautiful work

To predict the behaviour of a primate, would you rather base your guess on a closely related species or one with a similar brain shape? We looked at brains & behaviours of 70 species, you’ll be surprised!

Thrilled to share my latest work "Microstructural asymmetry in the human cortex" now out in NatComms. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
This work used cytoarchitecture (BigBrain), T1w/T2w, qT1, and MT measures to bring the cortical asymmetry from macrostructure to microstructure.
Microstructural asymmetry in the human cortex - Nature Communications
The human cortex displays an anterior-to-posterior asymmetry, identified via both post-mortem and in vivo microstructural measurements. Microstructural asymmetry is heritable, varies across cortical l...
