It has been a month since I joined IIT Gandhinagar, so much goes behind Professoring that people don't usually see. Highlighting all the activities of the past month: - Interviewed about 50 candidates for the MSc program at Cognitive & Brain Sciences at IITGN

There are days in life that shake you. I’m shattered 💔 to share that I just found out that the US Government terminated my 2024 NIH Director’s Early Independence Award (~$2 million), threatening my long-promised assistant professor job at Columbia University & academic career... 1/🧵

Intriguing work led by Jingnan! Task regressed functional connectivity is similar to resting state in defining individualized functional networks!

Exciting results! Seems counter intuitive but true that using multiple 1 minutes T1 scans gives a better estimation of hippocampal volume and degeneration than a standard 6-7 min T1.

Since I just had cause to consult this I thought it was useful to signal boost this spreadsheet @drmjcwarren.bsky.social initiated where people can *anonymously* report their advance/royalty rates from academic publishers. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

We need more conversations around the pros and cons of AI agents, I agree with the premise of not ceding control. I would not like my washing machine to order food for me 😅

🧪 If I were Canadian PM I would immediately: 1. Create a new $15B science fund 2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada 3. Immediate permanent residency 4. Citizenship after 2 years Overnight a science superpower

So cool! Convergences between human and CNN visual systems. Could this be a case on emergence?

I'm very sad that "I have a paper on this" continues Funding delays of > 30 days lead to, after 5 years: - 40% increase in scientists exiting US labor force (effect concentrated among those born in the US) - 20% decrease in wages - Burden is born by postdocs, grad students, and staff

in retrospect I think it may have been a mistake to make the work machine and the procrastination machine be the same machine

BREAKING: A federal judge has ordered a halt to Donald Trump's sweeping aid freeze, issuing a "brief administrative stay" to preserve the status quo for at least a few days while further litigation plays out.

Exactly this! It takes a funding freeze of 1-2 years to derail research projects if not kill entire research programs!

The final version of "ENIGMA-Meditation: Worldwide consortium for neuroscientific investigations of meditation practices" is now available online. 50 days' free access to the article at authors.elsevier.com/c/1kUbL8jVtv... . Congratulation again to Saampras Ganesan and Tony King who led this work.

These have been my thoughts for the last few months, we need to bring together modalities and understanding across scales! A lot of technical and method limitations but lots of interesting work to be done to make it reliable and robust!
