Cholinergic heterogeneity facilitates synchronization and information flow in a whole-brain model The human brain displays substantial regional variability in molecular, anatomical, and physiological organization. Yet, how this heterogeneity shapes large-scale neuronal dynamics remains poorly unde...

I'm really happy to share our latest work:

Amphitrite Lighthouse for sunset. I was immediately greeted by a whale spout so I didn't fly the drone (flying any drone near whales is a huge no-no in Canada). Luckily I had brought my "proper" camera and beefy lens so I was happy to snap away with that. #Ucluelet #Tofino #VancouverIsland #PNW

Europe's plan to ditch US tech giants is built on open source - and it's gaining steam One topic dominated the recent 2025 OpenInfra Summit Europe, and it wasn't AI.

This is something that Canada should also be doing more!

YouTube video by Reagan Library President Reagan's Radio Address on Free and Fair Trade on April 25, 1987

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

Three schematic diagrams. The first illustrates selective publishing of internal resection, the second selective causal focus, and the third selective access and funding for researchers.

1. We ( @jbakcoleman.bsky.social, @cailinmeister.bsky.social, @jevinwest.bsky.social, and I) have a new preprint up on the arXiv.

There we explore how social media companies and other online information technology firms are able to manipulate scientific research about the effects of their products.

Spotted on LinkedIn... a bad AI summary of our new paper on risks of AI in research.

Please make it stop.

This time of year as outdoor dining becomes less common the crows become even more brazen. This afternoon one wanted some of my Nug Life chicken nuggets bad enough to hang out right on the table. I saw my chance and took it. If you look closely you can see me in its eye #Ucluelet #Crows

Zero arrests by NYPD is actually astounding to me

Inventing Antifa In 2005, the Uzbek government invented a group called “Akromiya” to justify massacring protesters. Now I worry the US government will do the same.

Thanks, Sarah, for also providing the link to your paper on Uzbekistan. The parallels are astonishing.

Despite a huge growth in women's sports, female athletic footwear is still designed using molds from men's feet. Research from @runnerphysio.bsky.social suggests that the practice known in the industry as "shrink it and pink it" is not meeting the needs of female runners. ow.ly/Ig5W50XcHjg
