Extrait de la liste de morts de la rue 2024 publiée par La Croix.

Les 855 #MortsDeLaRue de 2024 ne sont plus complètement anonymes, ni oubliés. La Croix publie leur liste, tel un monument aux morts. Cinq pleines pages !

On lit des trucs bizarres dans l'huma aujourd'hui.

Quand tu arrives à confonde "transGENIC mice" et "transGENDER mice", c'est que tu es celui qui as le plus besoin de la science que tu essayes d'étouffer depuis 2 mois.

Is there a plausible scenario where US science funding is decentralized to the states? (Assuming we pay less in federal taxes and more in state taxes.)

Nice story on fabulous new work from @dingliu.bsky.social in my lab, just out today!...

Is social connection a basic need like food, water? — Harvard Gazette New research exploring the neurological basis behind the urge to be with other people suggests touch is an important factor.

Apart from the first 2, these are grants tied to specific neurodegenerative diseases (so I don’t know whether that would imply skewing your research to be eligible).
PS: «subtypes This» in your article lacks a period.

Distinguished Investigators The Allen Distinguished Investigator program supports early-stage research with the potential to reinvent entire fields.

Regarding future funding uncertainties, has your lab looked into private funding (e.g. Gates foundation)? I would certainly donate if I could, your research is both crucial and very qualitative (from what I can tell).

Our new review article with @michelcayouette.bsky.social is out on temporal patterning and glial reprogramming in adult CNS, and its implications for treating degenerative diseases. All work from our lab discussed here was funded by NIH.

Come along to my (free, online) UCL NeuroAI talk next week on neural architectures. What are they good for? All will finally be revealed and you'll never have to think about that question again afterwards. Yep. Definitely that.

Hopfield Networks is All You Need We introduce a modern Hopfield network with continuous states and a corresponding update rule. The new Hopfield network can store exponentially (with the dimension of the associative space) many patte...

Just remembered this one:

"We introduce a modern Hopfield network with continuous states and a corresponding update rule. (...)

The new update rule is equivalent to the attention mechanism used in transformers. "

Suppression of neurons in circumventricular organs enables months-long survival without water in thirteen-lined ground squirrels Water deprivation is a life-threatening condition that engages a protective physiological response to couple osmolyte retention with potentiation of thirst. This response, typical for most mammals, sa...

How do hibernators survive for months without water? Reduced neuronal activity in the CVOs is key! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

How animals learned to hibernate and why we can’t do it (yet) | Aeon Essays Hibernation allows many animals to time-travel from difficult times to plenty. Could humans learn how to do it too?

Meet Evo, the DNA-trained AI that creates genomes from scratch ChatGPT-like model learns on its own to devise new proteins and genetic sequences

The intersection of Nature’s reader with people that would side with him is probably a tiny ensemble, but I’m still glad they took the stance.

The world needs a US president who respects evidence As Kamala Harris and Donald Trump face off, the fate of US democracy, science and evidence-based policy hangs in the balance.

Nature: "Trump repeatedly ignored research-informed knowledge...undermined national and global science and public-health agencies...denied climate science, lied about the federal response to hurricane forecasts...pulled the US out of the WHO in a pandemic" www.nature.com/articles/d41...

If you scan all the code you can find and create a statistical model from it, and invert the model to create code, the output will be on average not good, just average. Also the code that comes out will not have been written by anyone on your team so when it breaks you have no one to ask about it.

A tailored cocktail of genes can reprogram a subset of progenitors to no longer produce glial cells and instead develop into neurons involved in motor control. elifesciences.org/articles/102...

Bonjour, il semble manquer un lien?

The embodiment of "The failure mode of 'clever' is 'asshole'"

I should have written "some of it", a lot of things went over my head reading it. Figured out you would have a better grasp on it anyway.

(I assume so, but what's the likeliness?) Would you kindly give your opinion on the matter
@monikajurkovic.bsky.social?

I've made a website that lets you search for publications that cite all the ones you submit to it: onthecitesof.info. Please let me know your observations 🤗

I went to a national astronomy event the past week-end and the astrophysics QA fell short of my expectations. I was specifically interested in the perspective of this pub.: arxiv.org/html/2401.12.... I have enough knowledge to understand it., but not enough to assess whether it's sound.
