It was a genuine pleasure to do this interview with Michael. Over time, working in this field, you develop many thoughts that do not fit neatly into the usual formats of science communication. It was a lot of fun to bring some of them together and try to express them clearly in this conversation.

In memoriam: Yves Frégnac, influential and visionary French neuroscientist
Frégnac, who died on 18 October at the age of 73, built his career by meeting neuroscience’s complexity straight on.

RIP Yves you're with us in our heart & mind🕊️ Yves created a fantastic vibrant department beautifully named "Unité de Neurosciences Information et Complexité", characteristic of the spirit of interdisciplinary science needed for studying the brain. I was fortunate to spend some formative years there

"Reproducibility is hard" - nice piece by @petebachant.me on trying reproduce one's previous work.
Pete Bachant@petebachant.me · 2y agoI failed to reproduce my results from a decade ago: petebachant.me/failed-to-re... I want to start doing these little #reproducibility side quests with other people's work. Anyone have any suggestions?
We grieve the passing of Dr. Yves Frégnac. Yves has shaped the study of cortical processing and plasticity. He heralded interdisciplinarity and was one of the founding fathers of our institute. Our thoughts go to his family and to his friends in the community and beyond.
