79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5.
He’s been taken by ICE in Florida.

With electrification, level boarding, and more frequent service, Capitol Corridor could transform transportation in the Sacramento Valley and beyond. But we need to reform project delivery to make this happen in our lifetime, with stronger governance and more state capacity.
Amtrak’s Capitol Corridor is scheduled at only 25 minutes – it’s faster than driving!
But there is only a single round-trip per day, leaving Roseville at 7:07 AM and arriving Sacramento at 7:32 AM.

It is actually an incredibly frustrating time to be a theoretical neuroscientist right now imo, for this reason
Same for neuroscience. The lack of ability to measure many neurons’ activity, perturb them, and measure intracellular processes and connections is what limits understanding the brain.
The key barriers are not algorithms or AI.
