What, and I cannot stress this enough, the actual fuck? Do you know what a security guard on a UK campus carries? A stab vest, a radio, and some training in mental health and deescalation. Assault rifles? Wow. Such a messed-up country. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

A 2021 state law allows campus police to own military equipment for civilian safety – students fear it may be used to quash dissent

Highly recommend CIFAR Neuroscience of Consciousness Winter School! 🤩 I was lucky enough to attend in 2021 in Mexico and it was genuinely one of the best experiences of my PhD. Brilliant talks and workshops, and most importantly - people. 🤗🧠

I was lucky to be part of ASPP, Bordeaux in 2021. I learned so much, but more importantly it gave me the confidence and skills to keep going afterwards. It really shaped the path I took, including getting involved in MNE-Python. It’s a great opportunity, the people running ASPP are just the best.

Sadly, applications to the Advanced Python summer school have dropped significantly over the past 2 years. Plus, there'll be no external funding for the 1st time in *17 years*. Likely all because of GenAI - but programming skills still matter🔥 Deadline May 3, please help by sharing: aspp.school
