What are the foundational principles of #neuroscience? By which I mean: beliefs or assumptions that animate our study of the brain across topics. Things like a belief in a structure-function relationship or the neuron as the base unit.

The only flaw I feel #Mastodon has is the lack of a tool to search content, otherwise imho it is a *true* social/public media platform

You can get notifications when anyone you are interested/like posts stuff, you can follow hashtags, you are not spoonfed content you never requested, you can edit your posts, you can send DMs, add cool emojis and we have #Caturday!!

I have *no* idea why some people find it alienating or difficult 🤔

I’m in full support of the SAG/AFRA and WGA and I love Ron Pearlman’s comment here.
As a jobbing actor my residuals for the last year for all the shows I’m in that have made a LOT of money for the streaming platforms they’re on came to around £35. my annual residuals from one of the most popular shows on Netflix came to the same price as I’d have got for 1 DVD box set sold.

Remember that abysmal attempt at creating a fake paper detector that #Science magazine trumpeted? The one that just looked to see if you used your institutional email address, had international collaborators, and were (not) affiliated with a hospital?

The one that instantiated the authors biases and then they turned around and used as evidence for those biases?

Science has just published the letter that Brandon Ogbunugafor and I wrote.

@domhenri

I am very skeptical of that claim, and eLife assesses the evidence as incomplete.

When earlier work along similar by some of these authors was published 6 years ago, I expressed my doubts here:

most of these concerns still stand.

Today 25 years ago the #Spanish government sent their police to close the #Basque #newspaper #Egin. They arrested many journalists, put them in jail, and in 2009 a Spanish court concluded that no illicit activity was engaged by the newspaper and radio station Egin. However, nothing happened to anyone involved in this human rights violation, be it judges, politicians or police.
