Would a dog in New York City respond in the same way as a dog in Kyoto? @jespinosa.bsky.social and colleagues address how studies on domestic dogs tend to focus on a Westernized subset.

In addition to a hiring PhD in ~October & hopefully some PhDs and postdocs ~February, if anyone would like to work with me as part of eg a Marie-Curie or something similar, please do get in touch. Topics include depression, classification, measurement, systems, time-series, & theory building.

I’ve officially resigned as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience. It used to be a reputable journal, but became a case study in how forced automation destroys academic integrity. 👇

I am really angry about all of the scientists who cozied up to Epstein even after it was known who he was. I am nearly as angry at how many people are justifying this as "they had to, it's how academia works" NO IT FUCKING WELL ISN'T

Andrew Perfors@perfors.net · 8mo ago

You don't have to dirty your soul to be a successful academic or a scientist. Have some fucking pride. Have some fucking principles. If you think you DO need to do that, all I can say is that I beg you not to go into academia or science.

#CO3 is my conference home and I'm so excited that it's coming to Canada this year 🍁 Consider presenting your comparative work, there's still time to send in an abstract! If you're into running, I'm thinking we should organize a fun run up Mount Royal one morning 🙌😅
