Meeko, a border collie, recently took a liking to an injured wild crow.

Despite their size differences — Meeko weighs roughly 35 pounds; Russell, the crow, is about 12 ounces — they became inseparable.
A dog helped an injured wild crow. Now they’re best friends.
“There’s an important lesson there, you know, about everybody coexisting and getting along,” said Autumn Buck, who helped save the crow.

Will the future of academic publishing be paperless? Intriguing thought. What could be the downsides of authors no longer having to write papers? Would it improve quality of research or is there part of the writing process that is important for research too?
**The ultimate systems #neuroscience paper!**

Recording every spike, every stimulus, every action during person's first half of life to predict second half?

The future of papers and neuro, are we almost there yet? That would great discussion to have online.

Time to revisit the psychedelic-psychosis connection?
Good arguments and important points to consider in this article by Phoebe Friesen, which conveys a sense of urgency: there is an opportunity, but also a lot of pressure to "fit the mould".
Thanks @balancing-asena.bsky.social for sharing!
