And now I’m starting to get invited to give talks on AI in neuroscience 🧠. Do you think they’ll be upset when I tell them that AI is just machine learning which is just statistics?

The psychology job market may be showing some early signs of regaining strength, relative to last year. A week ago last year, fewer than 200 jobs had been listed - today, it is nearly 300, a figure we didn't hit till early October in '25. #psychjobs #neurojobs #academicjobs
The 🐐 @ted-satterthwaite.bsky.social
Ted Satterthwaite's brilliant #Flux2026 Linda Spear Mid-Career Award talk made it crystal clear why he won this honor. We all know he is a productive genius but to hear it condensed in a thirty-minute overview was kind of mindblowing. So well-deserved! 👏 @ted-satterthwaite.bsky.social

Ron Dahl gives the Huttenlocher Lecture #Flux2026. Very few other scientists have had such a profound impact on our approach to studying adolescent development, tracing back to his pivotal 2004 keynote/paper on adolescence as a time of opportunity. nyaspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1196/...

Just realized a lot of people have the term "computational" in their lab's name. They are all doing similar things to what my lab does (human connectomics, network neuroscience). Have I been "computational" this whole time and not realized it?! I guess I don't know what computational means anymore 😆
