I highly recommend this program to neuroscience trainees who are interested in computational methods, networking, or adding to their overall skill set. I spent 5 weeks with #BrainHack last summer and it was an incredible experience.
SOBP BrainHack is officially open for registration!
The hackathon will be held April 22-23 at Sick Kids Toronto. Beginners and experienced hackers welcome!

Static pay, shrinking prospects fuel neuroscience postdoc decline
Postdoctoral researchers sponsored by the National Institutes of Health now toil longer than ever before, for less money. They are responding accordingly.

I lost my cousin and best friend to femicide in 2022. Her killer has yet to stand trial, and in just a few months, the 30-month limit for his criminal trial will expire.
Please vote for a candidate who will do better to address #IPV. #CallItFemicide
Thank you, @julieslalonde.bsky.social

Been in a lot of well meaning meetings & community discussions where people are saying "We should really mobilize people for the election. We need to get femicide on the ballot this election" but then nothing comes of it! And the election is less than a month away!
So, I whipped these together.

The architecture of the human default mode network explored through cytoarchitecture, wiring and signal flow - Nature Neuroscience
The default mode network (DMN) is implicated in cognition and behavior. Here, the authors show that the DMN is cytoarchitecturally heterogeneous, it contains regions receptive to input from the sensory cortex and a core relatively insulated from environmental input, and it uniquely balances its output across sensory hierarchies.

Best of luck to my American friends and colleagues. #SaveTheNIH 🇺🇸 🤞
Academic workers across the country are organizing to call on our congressional representatives on Thursday, 1/30, at 3pm ET / 12pm PT to demand these restrictions be lifted immediately.
There will be a training over zoom at the beginning of the event.

Five years in the making: our meta-analysis of 10 fMRI datasets across Asia, Europe, and North America (N=2,433). We find creative ability emerges from dynamic switching between default and executive brain networks, with optimal creativity at a "sweet spot."
Dynamic switching between brain networks predicts creative ability - Communications Biology
Robust evidence that creativity is tied to the capacity to dynamically switch between brain networks supporting spontaneous and controlled cognition.

It’s official—2024 was by far the most expensive year on record for insured losses in Canada due extreme weather fuelled by climate change.
Losses totalled more than $8.5 billion last year, far above the previous record of $6.2 billion in 2016.
