Impressive effort mapping gaps across 100 areas of science and technology to work on. I’m going to make a big pot of coffee and click around:

This is a really interesting (and heroic!) map of "dark matter" in the sciences that should be addressed with new tools and datasets. What's the dark matter of neuroscience?

many harbors now use the same system to book slips

e.g. dentist now offers online booking

I think that a lot of small businesses have probably improved their offerings

We (mostly @adammarblestone.bsky.social
and Mary with the help of the amazing scientists in our network) made a map of “fundamental development” gaps in science and technology. Go explore gap-map.org.

Different paths toward safe AI at different Marr's levels

Excited to release what we’ve been working on at Amaranth Foundation, our latest whitepaper, NeuroAI for AI safety! A detailed, ambitious roadmap for how neuroscience research can help build safer AI systems while accelerating both virtual neuroscience and neurotech. 1/N

🧪 E11 Bio is excited to share a major step towards brain mapping at 100x lower cost, making whole-brain connectomics at human & mouse scale feasible (🧠→🔬→💻). Critical for curing brain disorders, building human-like AI systems, and even simulating human brains.
