Hackers Expose Age-Verification Software Powering Surveillance Web Three hacktivists tried to find a workaround to Discord’s age-verification software. Instead, they found its frontend exposed to the open internet.

Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel.

“The state wants to see everything. The corporations want to see everything. And they've learned to work together.”

And forgot to say we made all tools available at @addgene.bsky.social at www.addgene.org/browse/artic... including our new low affinity MitoGCaMP for in vivo fly measurements of mitochondrial Ca2+!

Neuroscience has a species problem If neuroscience is serious about building general principles of brain function, cross-species dialogue must become a core organizing principle.

If neuroscience is serious about building general principles of brain function, cross-species dialogue must become a core organizing principle rather than an afterthought, writes @suthanalab.bsky.social.

"A behaviourist framework is [...] related to the perspective on [cognition] granted by the Turing test (cf. Guest and Martin, 2023; Erscoi et al., 2023). [We must address] when [it] is unethical (e.g. applied to treatment or education, Kirkham, 2017; Kumar and Kumar, 2019)"

New Hiesinger Lab paper! Melinda Kehribar et al. show how Flies preserve the spatial organization of visual input through axonal projections into the brain. A temporal gradient and two adhesive forces ensure a retinotopic map without a target-derived mechanism.

Happy to have gotten post grad education at the "Godless Students" uni.

New lab preprint! Can we study conscious perception of gut sensations in mice to reveal its neuronal basis? Can we train mice to report their gut sensations? Omer Rafael and Stav Shtiglitz in the lab teamed up to discover that…YES! Thread…1/6 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Woooooww!!! @crezaval.bsky.social and her team and collaborators are on 🔥🔥🔥! Have a good read peeps!!!

Well they knew and we knew this was the likely outcome! They pushed it however and stuck with it for as long as possible as a big bully scare tactic.

Thanks to all the charlatans, quacks and fools who've allowed measles to reach my child's secondary school in London

Baby steps :) we get to the drawing next

Another beautiful story by my amazing ICM colleague @jdejuan-sanz.bsky.social and team!!! @amrapalianjali.bsky.social

Books are magic; stating the obvious.
As scientists we should turn to children's books of the current day for inspiration on how to write. Clear messages delivered in short and aesthetically pleasing ways.
