Seeing the Mind, Educating the Brain | Collรจge de France

๐Ÿ’ซ ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ’กThis inspiring conference โ€œSeeing the Mind, Educating the Brainโ€ has just ended, and I am very grateful for having been there among brilliant scientists connected by a common passion for the brain, and a common friendship with the great Stan Dehaene!

Strategic omission:
knowingly leaving out relevant prior work to make findings seem more novel is academic dishonesty.
Adding citations later doesnโ€™t undo the damage.
Citations are credit and respect, not decoration.
Call out this practice to protect integrity. #AcademicIntegrity

โ€จI've had the opportunity to follow my curiosity; explore the workings of nature and society; mentor students and junior colleagues in the same process; and teach generations of students about it all.

The President of the US and richest man on earth, unilaterally STOPPED childrenโ€™s cancer research and clinical trials because they view them as โ€œwastefulโ€.

Chris Murphy is very good here. Disappearances for political speech violate our core principles. Of course they test the waters with pro-Palestinian speech on the hope that people wonโ€™t protest, and then they can move on to everyone else. Call your congresspeople to demand that Khalil be released.
