The broader danger goes far beyond Fauci. Scientists and career public servants are being warned that if their professional judgment conflicts with the political needs of a president, they may face years of investigations, public attacks, and threats of prosecution. www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

Congressional questioning of Anthony Fauci isn’t a good-faith effort, it is political persecution | Opinion

There is a difference between oversight and a trap. An honest investigation begins with open-minded questions. This one began with a verdict. And the broader danger goes far beyond Fauci.

Une "détox de dopamine" pour "réinitialiser son système de récompense" ? Le vocabulaire sonne neuroscientifique, mais habille une injonction à s'optimiser qui est impossible et qui détourne des bonnes questions. J'explique pourquoi dans The Conversation : theconversation.com/pourquoi-vou...

Interesting article on something I think is very relevant to open science: several teams analyzed the same ephys dataset and got quite different answers. Not because the analyses were bad, but because this kind of work involves many analysis choices, and those choices can change the result.

Differences stemmed from the way researchers defined concepts, to the algorithms they used to analyze the data, to the parameters they employed when implementing the algorithms, note @mattiachini.bsky.social and Gaelle Chapuis. #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/reproducibil...

Very happy to share a new paper in @npp-journal.bsky.social I thought I knew what would predict escalation of cocaine use. Well, I was wrong. After tracking behavior daily for weeks, the answer turned out to be the opposite of my prediction, and it changed how I see addiction.

With some trepidation, I'm putting this out into the world: gershmanlab.com/textbook.html It's a textbook called Computational Foundations of Cognitive Neuroscience, which I wrote for my class. My hope is that this will be a living document, continuously improved as I get feedback.

Since the Namboodiri lab isn’t on Bluesky (I think?), I’d like to amplify this cool paper which I and others in the Janak lab made a small contribution to.
