@MattWalshBlog let the following bullshit fall out of his mouth hole: “Remember when they spent years telling us to panic over the hole in the ozone layer and then suddenly just stopped talking about it and nobody ever mentioned the ozone layer” and then @DKThomp cast the appropriate side eye with this: “What happened is scientists discovered chlorofluorocarbons were bad for the ozone, countries believed them, the Montreal Protocol was signed, and CFC use fell by 99.7%, leading to the stabilization of the ozone layer, perhaps the greatest example of global cooperation in history.”

As @greatdismal.bsky.social wrote in The Peripheral: "Conspiracy theory's got to be simple. Sense doesn't come into it. People are more scared of how complicated shit actually is than they ever are about whatever's supposed to be behind the conspiracy.”

Picard civics tip: Being angry does not make you right. It also does not make you wrong. Question what you are fighting for.

Incredibly influential thinker. Her two-volume history of cognitive and computational neuroscience is a goldmine.

well I guess those odds are better than CIHR / NIH lol

good luck 🤞

1/ Canadian govts appear to have decided that they can not or will not fund higher education properly. But they won't admit this, preferring to tell institutions to enshittify themselves and shut up.

There are two options: one is slow starvation, the other is radical deregulation.

"How you play is what you win" is one of my favorite (of many) Le Guin quotes.

A paradigm to study the learning of muscle activity patterns outside of the natural repertoire | Journal of Neurophysiology | American Physiological Society The acquisition of novel muscle activity patterns is a key aspect of motor skill learning, which can be seen, for example, when beginner musicians learn new guitar or piano chords. To study this proce...

Congrats to @alighavampour.bsky.social and @mnlmrc.bsky.social for developing a new paradigm for hand synergy learning. If you are looking for a motor skill task that seems impossibly difficult and really needs to learning to be mastered, here it is:

Motor sequence learning involves better prediction of the next action and optimization of movement trajectories Learning new sequential movements is a fundamental skill for many animals. Motor sequence learning may arise from three distinct processes: (1) improved execution of individual movements independent o...

Careful dissection of motor sequence learning by @andpru.bsky.social and @mkashefi.bsky.social. In my humble opinion this should be an instant classic 😏.

and yes the paper was published

I once had to write to the editor after revisions were sent to me again (second round of revisions) and the authors still refused to address my concerns and the prose was still incomprehensible; I said to the editor I withdraw from the process, there is nothing remaining that I can contribute 🤷
