#neuroskyence I received a review request from NeuroImage. The paper is in my area of expertise, topical and from a good lab/PI. Should I review it, given the editorial board walkout that occurred two years ago? There does not seem a polling option in bsky yet but love to hear what others think.

I lost my job at the National Science Foundation yesterday, along with 167 of my colleagues, including some dear friends. This was the best job I've ever had, and I thought it would be my last. The PI community has been sympathetic and supportive, without exception. I will miss working for you.

Per their request, we decided to go for it. I changed the title to "The strain on antioxidant publishing" and did a bunch of ctrl find+replace for words like "publisher" with "gut niche" and just sent it back. Find the paper here: direct.mit.edu/qss/article/... 1/3

2.5 years after ‘the great debate’ at ASSC Amsterdam, we revisit it: Lamme, @standehaene.bsky.social , @smfleming.bsky.social , Boly and @anilseth.bsky.social present their theories, and Melloni and myself try to extract some insights and criticisms. >>> www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The US government has been turned over to a group of extraordinarily ignorant people, and they are working to destroy science in this country. Cutting over half the NSF budget would save < 0.1% of the federal budget, but do incalculable harm. Simply heartbreaking. arstechnica.com/science/2025...

Meta is renewing its threats against employees, telling them today that they will hunt for leakers and tolerate zero leaks. Want to know how that is going? Three Meta employees who I’ve never spoken to before just cold messaged/emailed me offering me to be sources.

I think it's a resounding yes. AI is the perfect oracle, hallucinating responses by combining what we ask it with our own verbalizations from the past, its output masquerading as an epiphany. Isn't that exactly what the word of God is?

@vpro.nl Om te beginnen zou ik graag tegenlicht blijven zien! Slecht idee om tegenlicht te schrappen tbv buitenlandpolitiek en geopolitiek. www.vpro.nl/programmas/t...

Wonderful inaugural lecture about the interaction between seeing and thinking by @peelen.bsky.social. youtu.be/8T6Q6a4u69Y. Highly recommended. Also includes a deserved promotion of the excellent muzieum.nl at the end, that I recommend visiting if you ever go to Nijmegen. Congrats Marius! 🎉

Here’s a good example of ChatGPT output that could help students better understand how it works and its limitations. #edusky #eduai

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪

Good news, Altmetric has now started watching BlueSky for mentions of publications. And by the way, provides an easy comparison between this and the old site for a recent preprint of mine which I posted simultaneousl at both. Numbers speak by themselves !
