Academic challenge: it's the same challenge. 👇
Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

The @dreamteamicm.bsky.social has launched an online survey about the things you experience when you fall asleep!
Everyone is different, so we need you to tell us!
It will take only 20 minutes, but it will mean a lot to dream researchers like us!

One can only hope that history will judge harshly all those who are complicit in or remain silent in the face of genocide

I may starve to death before I am able to graduate in Gaza
My only dream is to take the tawjihi exam so I can continue my education. Is this too much to ask?

Unfortunately, academic inflation and toxic productivity culture has all but done away with this. The effects of this on science advancement will be seen for generations. Slowing down and thinking deeply is essential to solve complex problems and it’s undervalued at every level

Our review on *Local Sleep* is finally out!
We cover the emerging notion that sleep can be a local brain phenomenon across wakefulness and sleep.
And the consequences for cognition and consciousness.
