I'd be really excited to see: 1) using trajectories from goal directed behavior; 2) multi-time step ahead predictions

Really excited by this awesome work from @abrate.bsky.social TDLR - in self supervised predictive models policy really affects representations. If you use policy extracted from rats of different ages the representations that emerge mirror those in the rats.

Baltimore is seeing the city’s fewest homicides in 50 years. Here’s why. Multiple people have taken credit for the historic drop that mirrors a national decrease in violent crimes. Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott says it’s due to a community-based approach to gun violence.

#Baltimore Mayor #BrandonScott invested in 42 summer youth camps, 29 literacy programs, extended the rec center hours to 11 p.m, planned block parties, opened the pools for safe fun, & opened several schools up for summer classes. Crime is down 62%. πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Very happy to see a Transmitter (@thetransmitter.bsky.social) piece on our recent work on estrous cycle modulation of hippocampal structure and function. Thanks to Sydney Wyatt (@sydneywyatt.bsky.social) for covering the work and its context:

One thing that surprised me about this whole process (beyond getting a position) was how much support I got from people. Friends and advisors gave me lots of time and advice, and helped me practice. It was a really special thing πŸ˜€
