Great to see a new wave of #Twittermigration, including many I think who relapsed.... welcome back! 😊

Here some low-tech tips:

- Use different #Hashtags, follow and search them. Eg I often do (random) country searches, always widens horizon
- check out people's pinned toots. You can pin several so a lot of 'top ware' there
- Be mindful that everything is real time, so go 'on', toot and boost at different times of day
- And check out #ClimateDiary !

My colleague Kevin Gross and I have a new preprint up on the arXiv.

Just for fun, rather than pure text simple text explainer, let's go some slides for a talk I'm giving at https://www.icssi.org/ tomorrow.

Here's the paper itself: Rationalizing risk aversion in science. https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.13816

Because this is like starting over for so any of us, my approach is to boost as much as I can to get your content into my network of followers. I'd appreciate if you do the same to get my content into your network.
This is a *social network*, and it will work better and faster if we all hold hands!

Context: Ethiopia's civil war, among the worst of the 21st century, left over half a million dead between 2020 & 2022, and devastated the country's economy. Since a peace treaty signed in November 2022, the recovery process has been gradual. Civil war & military spending in the midst of bloodshed and famine, has the famished relying on foreign aid, but there are no concrete solutions for the country's economic woes, including its severe shortage of foreign currency.

Excellent new paper: Global insect decline is the result of wilful political failure: A battle plan for entomology https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ece3.9417

"The final point for the entomologist's battle plan is to develop the perfect simple catchphrase with longevity and impact to effectively set concern for insect wellbeing globally for the next decade or more" - Anyone got an advance on #LittleThingsThatRunTheWorld?

Wildfire smoke - now extra toxic plumes from sun UV

Did you know just one of the many fires burning in Quebec is the size of an entire Canadian province (PEI), or large enough to stretch between the cities of Ottawa and Montreal or Toronto to Niagara Falls? Read on to learn more about why the smoke now smells like plastic and the health impact. 🧵 1/

the idea of being visited by aliens lost its appeal when i realized they’d likely just be some other planet’s asshole billionaires

After finally finding a place that feels more like home on mastodon, here goes the #introduction:
I am a PhD candidate in #computationalneuroscience at the University of Tübingen and Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics, Germany.

I am interested in understanding the relationship between brain computations and dynamics. That's why I study population neural dynamics and their correlation structure underlying different behaviors (e.g., during selective attention tasks).

Looking forward to interactions in this space!

'Obese people often rebound to their former weights when they cease treatments and diet regimens. The British NHS has placed a two-year limit on injectables as obesity treatments, but what happens then? Pharma companies are preparing for a battle to keep on getting paid.'
