Since it's #LaTeX based, you can pretty much add whatever you wish to your journal---images, other PDFs, beautiful maths, and of course, you can customise it as you wish to suit your needs. It's all managed by #Git and if you'd like you can encrypt your journal entries using #gpg

GitHub - sanjayankur31/calliope: Simple script for journal writing using LaTeX Simple script for journal writing using LaTeX. Contribute to sanjayankur31/calliope development by creating an account on GitHub.

Made a few updates and released a new version of #calliope , a #bash script based utility to write a journal using #LaTeX.

four SF/F/H books by women writers that I've recently read and enjoyed.

I just found out the proper name for doggo zoomies is Frenetic Random Activity Periods, or FRAPS.

I don’t know how to live with this knowledge.

Such an important message right now in the face of actual tyranny and unlawful executive orders demanding compliance. 💪🏽

Please spread the word, especially to students interested in modelling. We will help them learn the NeuroML ecosystem so they can use its standardised pipeline in their work.

Very interesting piece on social media and scientists on the LSE blog: "Bluesky will trap academics in the same way Twitter/X did"

The author, Mark Carrigan, is a Senior Lecturer in Education at the University of Manchester. Independently of your position on this, I think it is worth reading

Neuro Ph.D. programs adjust admissions over funding unease Some neuroscience departments plan to shrink class size by 25 to 40 percent; others may inadvertently take more students than they can afford.

Facing an uncertain financial future, many U.S. neuroscience Ph.D. programs are admitting fewer students. The Transmitter spoke with 20 programs about how the recent changes are affecting their admissions processes.
