Beautiful beaches, gorgeous architecture, and the frenetic energy of Spain winning the world cup, @bamb-school.bsky.social really has it all! Today I'm teaching how to leverage the structure of the environment to behave effectively in an uncertain world.

Tried something different at last journal club: I turned plain paper presentation into a "choose-your-own-adventure" game where the audience needs to find how to complete a research program addressing the original research question. 1/4

The barccsyn.org community in Barcelona is organizing a nice FENS Satellite (Sun 5.07). Check the great speakers that will present both experimental and modeling work. And remember: you can bring your poster. If you want to (finally!) understand how the brain works 🥸, come and find out. #FENS2026

Academic friends, It's beyond heartbreaking to watch what's unfolding in Iran & the region. A few of us drafted an open letter calling for protection of civilians & of educational, research, medical & cultural institutions. Please read & sign if you agree: sites.google.com/view/protect... #IranWar

Protect Academic Life in Iran

We, the undersigned academics and researchers from around the world, express our profound concern over recent military strikes on Iran, the retaliatory responses, and the reported impact on civilian l...

Absolutely heartbreaking. So many mathematicians I know studied there, men AND women. Maryam Mirzakhani studied there. If this isn't enough to cancel/relocate from the US the International Congress of Mathematicians #ICM2026, nothing will be.

American and Israeli missiles hit Sharif University in Tehran tonight. Often called #Iran’s MIT, the institution has been home to some of the country’s best and brightest minds in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics since 1966. 1/2

I am very excited to share my first preprint🎉 The pandemic kicked off strongly during the first year of my PhD, and I had to stop the behavioral experiments when mice were starting to understand the task. At the BCB Lab, this showed us that training automation could be a real game changer (🧵1/10)

I will soon delete all my twitter posts, so in the next few days I will be recycling some of my most liked tweets, in random order. The first one had to be a shitpost, of course

If you're into decision-making vs. motor execution, integration of sensory vs contextual evidence, 🐀vs. 👩, meticulous analysis & modelling of full behavior, check out the last episode of our Nature Comms trilogy (crafted with love & patience)!
