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 🥲

Scientists: for a new story, I have one big question—>
What is a “good day” in the lab?
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!

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.

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

Do any Milwaukee-ish neuroanatomy enthusiasts want to get together and take pictures of trees while the weather is tolerable and the branches are still bare?!
I've wanted to do this for years but had never thought to...like...ask!
I can’t imagine the pain of having your loved one abducted by ICE in Minnesota during a news cycle celebrating ICE leaving Minnesota.

I can both confirm that this is true and add that this has been happening for more than a month.
I don’t want to say too much, but hypothetically speaking, there are Minnesotans who are quietly renovating their homes to prepare for hiding people long-term.
