1/5. I just finished re-reading King's "The Role of the Behavioral Scientist in the Civil Rights Movement"--a speech he gave at the American Psychological Association in 1967.
I revisit this speech every few years; much of it remains relevant.
A few notable sections...

you're telling me a cherry picked this example?
This book might be nice but also I expect you’d need to adjust for replicability issues: mitpress.mit.edu/978026261143...
This is one of our most wonderful students and the university doesn't understand they basically tricked her into studying here because they didn't explain the extortionate fees they would apply to her after the pre masters. Please if you're able, consider donating.

On the other hand, the dominance of this view increases the value of deep expertise here. It provides an opening to invent novel architectural features inspired by the way this mapping is wrong.
We should encourage people to learn more about chemical and electrical signaling in the brain, diversity of neurons, things that aren’t neurons, etc. This framing fosters far too much armchair neuro and deceives nonexperts (like Ilya) to think we know more than we do
possum screaming don't touch my garbage the same way that I scream about my garbage repos
Unjustified pride that looking over my hundreds of repos that are not forks
OK If we are moving to Bluesky I am rescuing my favourite ever twitter thread (Jan 2019).
The renamed:
Bluesky-sized history of neuroscience (biased by my interests)
ablation == manipulation, experimental condition
A fancy/obfuscatory word was needed because the words it stands in for would imply there is a control condition or sensible baseline
The 80's fad is back
North Pacific killer whales have again been seen in Puget Sound wearing salmon on their heads, as they did in 1987 and 1988.
It is not known whether this is simply a fad or has some function (such as saving food for eating later).

Do you teach neuroscience? Here’s a list I’ve compiled of mostly free online neuroscience textbooks, simulations and datasets you can use for your course! If I’m missing something, let me know so I can add it! docs.google.com/document/d/1...
UW-Madison Psychology is hiring a new assistant professor in the area of computational approaches to language (broadly construed). Please share with interested parties! jobs.wisc.edu/jobs/assista...
(1/5) Very excited to announce the publication of Bayesian Models of Cognition: Reverse Engineering the Mind. More than a decade in the making, it's a big (600+ pages) beautiful book covering both the basics and recent work: mitpress.mit.edu/978026204941...
You can also watch here the workshop keynotes that inspired all the work presented in this special issue.
Add me please and thanks 🙏
