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...
‘We will never use them’: the California universities stockpiling AR-15s, grenades and submachine guns
A 2021 state law allows campus police to own military equipment for civilian safety – students fear it may be used to quash dissent

You press ‘send’ on a high-stakes email but hesitate when lifting your finger. You make a chess move but linger on the piece before letting go. Familiar? In @pnas.org, Hanbei Zhou @ruizhegoh.bsky.social @ianbphillips.bsky.social & I show that response *duration* tracks confidence! shorturl.at/A9NVe
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. 🤗🧠
Last call to apply! ⏰ Applications close 10 June! ⬇️⬇️⬇️ cifar.ca/next-generat... #NeuroscienceResearch #ConsciousnessStudies #PostdocOpportunities #AIConsciousness #NeuroscienceOfConsciousness
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
Warmly recommend Advanced Scientific Programming in Python School (ASPP)! If you're need to code a lot but were never properly taught how - this summer school is for you. Prague, Aug 30-Sep 6. Free. Apply by May 3rd. More info: aspp.school

I made this account two years ago and never posted. I think part of me was still waiting to go back to old Twitter, but that era is certainly not coming back. So, hello Bluesky! 🦋
