Real and imagined images are processed using the same systems in the brain, yet most people can distinguish between the two. Now neuroscientists have identified two brain regions that keep imagined images separate from reality.

Prof Adam Sobey, at the UK’s Alan Turing Institute, an AI research body, said more transparency was needed on how much energy is consumed by artificial intelligence systems, and how much they could save by helping to make carbon-emitting industries such as transport and energy more efficient.

I loved this essay on scientific writing in @naturebiotech.bsky.social (rdcu.be/edUCp). It highlights a key lesson I’ve applied throughout my career: the power of reading, thinking, and keeping a notebook with your ideas. Let me explain why this matters… 🧵👇

Last month I did a little experiment.

I wanted to see how the exact same post would perform on both X (Twitter) and Bluesky.

The results were...interesting...

Access to fundamental data sets is often withheld or limited by gate-keeping national agencies, and these restrictions have huge consequences, says climate scientist Santiago Beguería.

Governments must stop hoarding climate data
National agencies too often use spurious reasons to deny researchers unfettered access to resources that are key to understanding past and future climate change.
