“Science is a smart, low cost investment. The costs of not investing in it are higher than the risk of doing so… talk to people about science.” - @kevinochsner.bsky.social makes his case to the field #sans2025

What's with the revival of "limbic"? In recent cog neuro textbooks, papers, and scientific talks, I've seen more of the "limbic system" than I have for years.

Affective neuroscientists argued that this idea should be thrown out *25 years ago*. Why are we backsliding? #friendsdontletfriendssaylimbic

"Highlight, don't hide" @gangchen6.bsky.social makes an impassioned argument that thresholding (reflective of a "binary" yes/no approach to analysis) holds back our science, making it less transparent and less reproducible.

Instead, be a facilitator - share uncertainty and evidence! #SANS2025

At #SANS2025, enjoying the first debate on how to approach our science: big consortia or small labs? @thaliawheatley.bsky.social beautifully frames small labs as a kind of "collective intelligence." #ScrappyAudaciousNimbleScience

It’s official! It’s been a journey, but by the confluence of lots of luck, late nights, great collaborators, & an endlessly supportive professional and personal community… I received tenure! I'll be processing this surreal feeling for a long time - but some celebrations are in order for now!
