Zebrafish neuroscience course at CSHL. Great crew of people. https://meetings.cshl.edu/meetings.aspx?meet=zebra&year=23

Following Elsevier's decision to raise the article processing charge for NeuroImage to $3,450, all editors (inc. chief editors) from NeuroImage and NeuroImage:Reports have resigned, effective immediately.

I am joining this action and have also resigned.

Full announcement: https://imaging-neuroscience.org/Announcement.pdf

For those who don't already know, there's a great crew (Jennifer Water, AnnaJost, and Talley Lambert) that runs this online resource for all sorts of bio microscopy: https://www.microlist.org/ and they have an active forum as well:

Exciting new junior group starting in the Biophysics department at @humboldtuni

Boosts appreciated.

We will offer a single molecule course at HU Berlin in September (4th-8th). Come and learn single channels and single molecule TIRF!

The course will not be free... but bursaries will be available.

Really enjoying the Bernie Sanders UK Tour 2023 just for watching a lot of the interviewers realize his vaguely renowned and dangerous cartoon leftism boils down to basic moral commonsensical policymaking composed of no-brainer shit that any rational society could accomplish if its aristocratic dick puppetmasters hadn't made bribery 100% legal and thus framed obviously good things "controversial."

Dennett: "This is the real code red. We need to “institute new attitudes, new laws, and spread them rapidly and remove the valorization of fooling people, the anthropomorphization,” he said. “We want smart machines, not artificial colleagues.”"

Anyone with a financial interest in AI/ML should be considered too compromised to have an honest opinion on these topics.

The best thing I've seen written on Musk and Twitter is this random YouTube comment (that I can't find a way to link to directly)

For those yet to see it: Europe's sleeper trains, mapped... https://files.wegewerk.com/index.php/s/Mr8WX7WMT5gd66a (Paris-Italy, and into Spain - those yawning gaps in the network just scream 'fill me!' don't they...)

So we just made an Open Access Biological Psychology textbook! It was the result of lots of work by many lovely contributors in Sussex and around the UK but you can read it For Free ANYWHERE!! Https://openpress.sussex.ac.uk/introductiontobiologicalpsychology/ #psychology #neuroscience #openscience

We have updated the documentation of our spherical treadmill for mouse VR experiments with some notes on computer mouse readout and VR software integration: https://www.3dneuro.com/open-hardware/spherical-treadmill/ #openhardware #opensource

I wanted to write something like, "oh you don't say" but this is *actually* a brutal read
