"Entrepreneurial drive" as a major criterion for undergrad funding is what you get when donors set pedagogy.

An exquisite nest built of spider web and leaf litter made by a Willie Wagtail that I saw at Sandy Camp Wetlands in Brisbane yesterday morning. #wildoz

It’s foggy New Year’s Eve. I close out my five year term as editor in chief of @ASNAmNat
It’s been a wild ride and I have learned a great deal. I consider this both the most challenging and rewarding service. I have done so far in my career and I’m very glad I did it. Also, I am eager to move on to some new projects.

Have discovered the old Alec Guiness "Tinker, Tailem, Soldier, Spy" series is available complete on YouTube and it is, quite simply, magnificent.

Spotted while walking through @CentralParkNYC@twitter.com, a bench memorializing Dr. Li Wenliang, who sounded the alarm on COVID-19 three years ago.

Finally, acknowledgements and gratitude to the TINS editor Moran Furman who is not only an absolute pleasure to work with, but also contributes more than many realize.

New World View article out in Nature, where I argue for methodological review of research proposals before data collection. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-04504-8

We could now look at how exactly the cells encoded fish location. We started with area SLO-MO. Individual cells there showed fairly complex dynamics, but on top of that integrated visual velocity so they represented fish location. This also worked in 2D

The irritable substance does not forget.
'In 1904, Richard Semon (7) proposed the idea of the “engram” and defined it as “the enduring though primary latent modification in the irritable substance produced by a stimulus (from an experience).”

Robert Caro's essentials
"2. My Typewriters I write my books not on a computer but on a Smith Corona Electra 210. They stopped manufacturing them about 30 years ago, but I have accumulated some. You need spares because when a part breaks on the one you’re using, you have to cannibalize the part from another one. When I have a book coming out, and newspaper profiles mention that I use them, people send me their old ones that were stored away years ago. Thanks to this generosity, I had 14 of them three years ago. I’m down to 11 already."

Cellular heterochronicity
"Neurons with longer timescales show higher response selectivity for temporally extended computations such as decision making and reward integration, whereas shorter timescale neurons are implicated in sensory processing."

Two new review/opinion pieces are online!
Antibacterial #resistance is one of the greatest threats to #human #health.
Rolf Müller and co-workers from the Helmholtz Institute for Pharmaceutical Research Saarland and the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research highlight the challenges, advancements and current standing of the clinical and preclinical antibacterial research pipeline. #bacteria #antibiotics
