Harvard Will Not Comply With a List of Trump Administration Demands
Federal officials said Harvard must enact “merit-based reform” in hiring and admissions, among other things. Harvard called the demands unlawful.

I'm organizing a "Data for Good Rapid Response Team", i.e. a set of people who can be mobilized to work on short data science projects to help various groups and organizations. Sign up here if this is of interest to you, and please share with others with data science skills.

Excited to see @thetransmitter.bsky.social feature our preprint on how the neural code changes across the cortical hierarchy! A multi-region perspective on categorical selectivity 🧱 and geometric dimensionality 📐
Blueprint thread coming soon— after I am done with panettone digestion 🥮!
Most neurons in mouse cortex defy functional categories
The majority of cells in the cerebral cortex are unspecialized, according to an unpublished analysis—and scientists need to take care in naming neurons, the researchers warn.

Great material here! ✨
Blog post! 🤓🐙⚡ During holiday season, having a fast python loop can make all the difference between catching your train or missing it. Here I compiled all the methods for parallelizing code in python: adrian-valente.github.io/2024/12/26/p...
Happy holidays everyone! 🎄
Parallelized python - a (hopefully more) complete guide
Python has a ton of solutions to parallelize loops on several CPUs, and the choice became even richer with python 3.13 this year. I had written a post 4 years ago on multiprocessing, but it comes shor...
