Neuro-evo conference at HHMI Janelia on May 15-18, 2023. Join us for the third edition!

Application deadline: Jan 27 (11:59 p.m. EST) 2023.

Apply here: https://www.janelia.org/you-janelia/conferences/neuro-evo-a-comparative-approach-to-cracking-circuit-function-iii

"Historically, with the study of the most convenient animal models —from the giant axon of the squid and the lobster's stomatogastric circuits to Aplysia's synapses and C. elegans' circuits — neuroscientists revealed some of the operating principles of the nervous system, which were then found to apply broadly across phyla. The third instalment of this meeting will once again bring together neuroscientists working on a broad diversity of animal models in an effort to compare circuits across phyla as a means to crack their function."

We have an exceptional opportunity at our center for a new group leader at VIB in Leuven. We are looking for a new colleague who wants to use computational methods to investigate molecular and/or cellular aspects of neurobiology. This position not only comes with substantial and renewable core funding and start-up package, but it is also linked to a tenure track position at KU Leuven.

More information on our center can be found on our website https://cbd.sites.vib.be/en.

Deadline to apply for the HHMI Hanna H. Gray Fellows Program is 12/7/2022 https://www.hhmi.org/programs/hanna-h-gray-fellows-program
Please apply - this is a great program!

Hi Mastodon! 🐘 The Max Planck Society will provide you with exciting toots about science, research and the people behind it.

Unbelievable, multiview-reconstruction & BigStitcher have finally lost their Imglib1-dependency! And all processing is now virtual thus scaling to larger volumes ... @herrsaalfeld

RS-FISH was just released as open access article in @naturemethods

RS-FISH is a user-friendly software for accurate spot detection that is applicable to smFISH experiments, spatial transcriptomics, and spatial genomics. The approach enables fast spot detection in even very large volumetric datasets.

If you want a sneak-peak of my portion of the #NeurIPS 2022 tutorial on Creative AI, here it is: https://youtu.be/QBolMllrNp0

It's a 30' primer on story, poetry, and humor generation.

Don't forget that Janelia's Computation & Theory area is looking for both [Senior] Group Leader candidates (https://www.janelia.org/our-research/our-labs/group-leaders) and Theory Fellows (https://www.janelia.org/our-research/overview/theory-fellows)! Are you working on interesting computational and theoretical approaches to address fundamental biological questions? Talk to us!

friend taught me about something recently, known as Gell-Mann Amnesia

quoting this page: https://www.epsilontheory.com/gell-mann-amnesia/

---

Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the “wet streets cause rain” stories. Paper’s full of them.

In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.
