This NSF update is depressing!

It won't actually exist for another month or so, but because it now 'exists' on amazon, I'll humbly observe that, after working through this book, your student/trainee would be able to read and understand all but two or three papers in this week's J. Neurosci. Check it out:

🧠✨How do we rebuild our memories? In our new study, we show that hippocampal ripples kickstart a coordinated expansion of cortical activity that helps reconstruct past experiences.

Essay | The Last Decision by the World’s Leading Thinker on Decisions Shortly before Daniel Kahneman died last March, he emailed friends a message: He was choosing to end his own life in Switzerland. Some are still struggling with his choice.

A lot to reflect on in this must-read essay by Jason Zweig about the surprising (or not surprising) death of Daniel Kahneman.

Outspoken Pedagogy: A Technique for Our Times “Staying out of things and letting it all go by” may not be the best strategy for educators in these dark times.

It is reassuring to see so many friends and colleagues share objective takes on current affairs. This piece is a suggested pathway not easy or comfortable (or even suggested) for all, but I hope it empowers more. www.teachingprofessor.com/topics/teach... [Available via university accounts.

Attacks on women and attacks on science go together, and it takes strength across the spectra of gender and science to stop them from breaking us down.

Lots of useful info in this thread if you are backing up public data (whether at OSF or elsewhere)
