Nice piece from THE... "address the real culprits that deplete staff – bloated teaching loads, endless administrative meetings, institutionalised extracurricular chores and communication overload"

Francesco d'Errico, Ivan Colage', and I wrote a paper on the evolution of #collectiveintelligence, epistemic #nicheconstruction, and the material traces of #hominin alterations to informational landscapes.
Forthcoming in PTRS B!

Wanna learn more about the pastor in this photo?
I talked to him yesterday.
He's currently part of a lawsuit against DHS, in part due to this exact moment: religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...
Or perhaps, as Rodney Brooks suggests, we’re seeing in a shift in what a scientific account looks like?

Left: Schematic representation of the 3D VR setup allowing control of movements through manual control (MC) and brain–computer interface (BCI). The setup includes four infrared cameras for online tracking of hand position using reflective markers, enabling realistic 3D movements and decoder calibration for the BCI task. The monkey’s other arm was gently restrained, and gaze position was monitored using an infrared eye tracker. Right: Averaged 3D trajectories obtained from one experimental session in Monkey Y during 3D reaches performed under the BCI condition.
How do parietal & premotor areas in the brain adapt to a #BrainComputerInterface? This study shows that frontal & parietal #brain areas co-adapt during BCI-based #MotorLearning, offering insights into visuomotor adaptation & informing future #BCI developments @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/3VEZidV
The Department of Kinesiology at Penn State is inviting applications for an open-rank faculty position in sensorimotor control and rehabilitation neuroscience. Please share this opportunity with interested colleagues in your network.

Britain’s vast array of universities educate more than half of the country’s youth—but mostly in old-fangled ways little altered from the days when only the very wealthy could attend. The mass system needs much more efficiency and innovation
UK universities “more broke than a university student who just spent summer inter-railing around Europe”.

Yeah, cool. Let a government agency do peer review. God forbid we'd actually have scientists independently critique the methods and interpretations of important research.
85 percent of children diagnosed with cancer are alive at least five years later, according to the National Cancer Institute. Survivors can face lifelong complications from their treatments — something oncologists are working to improve.
America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.
Great to see you in Rome, @albomp.bsky.social and congratulations on your re-election!
In uncertain times, your renewed mandate brings both continuity and fresh momentum to the EU–Australia strategic partnership.
So let’s deepen ties in trade, defence, and security.

An important message…
Our paper is out in Nature.
By examining various inputs to the motor cortex during learning, we found that thalamic inputs learn to activate the cortical neurons encoding the movement being learned.

I like penguins. They are the basasses of avian evolution. Wings adapted to swimming like flippers. Torpedo shaped body to limit drag. Metabolism built for surviving extreme cold and counter shaded colouring for underwater camouflage. #penguinbadass
It's shocking how little is known about the brainstem red nucleus. In our new paper “The human brainstem’s red nucleus was upgraded to support goal-directed action” out now in @naturecomms.bsky.social we show that current thinking on the red nucleus is in need of a serious upgrade. rdcu.be/ehbOy
Where I depart from Bender is to shift the focus from the LLM onto the recipient user.
The real danger for me arises from the behaviour of the ‘recipient’ (the human reader) who ascribes patterns and meaning where there are none - who mistakes 'pseudo-language' for real language.
