“Your job is not to turn in completed assignments; it's to learn how to think.”

Ted Chiang‘s succinct summary of the issue with using AI in education.

I’m not a sports guy but the athlete metaphor he uses in this interview is pretty spot on.

Reproducibility is a team sport

Building reproducible systems across labs is possible, even in large-scale neuroscience—with rigor and collaboration.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Congrats @vulcnethologist.bsky.social on a great paper! This a cool technology that is the future of tracking motion within the body during behavior. @movementscience.bsky.social this might be what we need for tracking muscles and tendon during movement!

Our first preprint has been accepted for publication www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... !!
tldr: @ezeyulu00.bsky.social , @amartyapradhan.bsky.social , @dkoveal.bsky.social and I developed a method using injectable nanoparticles to turn mice into…constellations in motion. 🧵⤵️

High-resolution in vivo kinematic tracking with customized injectable fluorescent nanoparticles

Injectable fluorescent nanoparticles were used to track positions on and inside of freely moving animals at high resolution.
