@russcd.bsky.social ushers in a new era of academic metrics with the core-pivotal author index, which assigns all credit to authors that occupy the exact center of the author list, while non-central peripheral authors receive no credit whatsoever.

But Joao, aren’t you afraid of being scooped?

No.

It’s an ultra-rare childhood epilepsy. If you scoop me and the kids get help from it, I will help you scoop me and then move on.

Does anyone know of any good writing using stoplights and city traffic to help explain neural oscillations more intuitively?

I wish to know but I do not wish to seek, what can I say, I can't handle the bajillion distractions that would come up if I searched for it myself 🥲

She’s been released 🙏🏽

I don't know what I thought I was doing before I started eating kimchi, but it wasn't living

"Transgender people should exercise extreme caution when traveling through the state, and those already living there should take immediate steps to legally protect themselves...For most transgender people who do not already live in Kansas, the risk is now too great to travel there at all."

Scientists: for a new story, I have one big question—>

I’m looking for epic examples of the best day ever to general criteria for what constitutes a “good day” compared to a nothing-burger day.

Ping me if you have examples to share!

Re-posts appreciated!

Ha!

Adults at ICE concentration camps also get punished for talking with people on the outside who can publicize their stories.

Based on what I've heard at the Otay Mesa camp in San Diego, they're punished with additional work duties, aren't allowed outside in the yard, and denied phone access.

2026 basically

It's doubly ahistorical as it ignores how gay rights in the 1970s-00s followed a near-identical trajectory: initial acceptance, violent backlash, regression of rights, slow rebuilding/expansion.

And, yes, mealymouthed centrists told us we were asking too much then, too.

Honestly I think 'coherence' is a good alternative to 'conference'...a bit aspirational, maybe, but it's nice to aspire

Someone also poured gasoline at a small corner memorial for Alex Pretti in Whittier last night (I just checked the main memorial at 26th and Nicollet and it appears fine).

My job has multitudinous perks. One of them is working on a protein labeled 1EZG, which 1) is really cool and 2) gets Wannabe stuck in my head
