Very interesting panel discussion about alignment challenges and possibilities and guardrails for improving AI safety in agentic AI models w/ @yoshuabengio.bsky.social Dawn Song @hannahrosekirk.bsky.social @eegilbert.org and Monojit Choudhury I hope we can discuss these issues more as a community

Ready for #NeurIPS2025! Looking for conversations on RL, musculoskeletal modeling, and 3D pose estimation. Happy to share about our high speed open source imitation learning framework MIMIC-MJX. Local to SD, so ask me for recs! 😎 ericleonardis.github.io

Presented my @talmo.bsky.social lab poster at @sfn.org yesterday! We discussed muscle modeling, biomechanics and motor control in the mouse. 🐭 It was a busy poster, lots of folks were excited about our new software tools which will be released very soon!

Just got news that we were awarded the Neurotechnology for Safe AI Grant by the Foresight Institute! This will give me enough time to finish my post doc project! 5 months after getting my main funding frozen, this is a major relief. Now I can focus on doing good science!

Had a blast at the Doctor Who panel at @comicconmuseum.bsky.social 🛸 I joined biotech professors to discuss the science behind our favorites robots and cyborgs: daleks, cybermen, K9, and the TARDIS! I also ranted about how Dalek tentacles may improve information transfer in UX design.🐙1/2
