Lovely time today at the 2nd All-Ireland Computational Neuroscience Symposium at Queens U Belfast. It's a small but growing community on the island. imo the talks were all genuinely great and I'm really excited for the future

Round 3 back in Dublin next August apparently if anyone wants to join! ☘️🧠

Delighted @jajmca.bsky.social's abstract was accepted for COSYNE 2025, for his work on linking neural circuit structure to function via drosophila-connectome-based reservoir computing. With @conjh.bsky.social, John Wade and myself.
