Also, if you are in SINS2025, join the Symposium on โ€œA Sense for Number in Fish, Humans and Machinesโ€ that I co-chair, also tomorrow starting at 10!

What do human newborns do with their (very approximate) number sense? They already use it to actively explore the world! Interested? Come see my talk on the โ€œNeural dynamics of cross-modal numerosity integration in human newbornsโ€ at SINS2025 in Pisa, Friday 12th at 16.50! #newborns #EEG #numerosity

The MAHA Report Cites Studies That Donโ€™t Exist The Trump administrationโ€™s โ€œMake America Healthy Againโ€ report misinterprets some studies and cites others that donโ€™t exist, according to the listed authors.

We expect our students to be honest and refrain from using generative AI to do their reports.

Fake references, fake knowledge, fake reality. All seems valid for those who understand nothing and only seek to capitalise every opportunity. Shame!

1/ Today, we publish the first of seven articles in a series exploring โ€˜Science Under Threat in the United Statesโ€™.

The authors discuss what they describe as the Trump administration's "assault" on science and scientists, and what the response should be. #StandUpForScience
