"When asked for the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about alternative social media sites, people in this [nonuser] category commonly cite inaccuracy and misinformation, political bias and the political right, and extremism and fringe ideas."

📣This afternoon, the Lords will consider whether the police should be given new powers to stop & search protesters, even without suspicion.

👮‍♂️These draconian powers would take us another step closer to becoming a police state.

@claire_h Create lists by finding posters on subjects, e.g News. (BBC, CNN, Bylines etc.) then folloew them and add them to a list you create, so after a while, if you click on the list, you will see their posts in real time as they are posted.

I posted an #introduction but then moved to fediscience.org, so let me introduce myself again.

I'm a #computational neuroscientist at Boston University. I make circuit models of cognitive-emotional interaction in the #limbic system. I shifted to #Julia from Matlab recently (and I love it!).

On the birdsite I tend to post a mix of neuroscience, philosophy, history, math, literature and... not-quite-serious musings.

I'm interested in public scientific communication and education too.

I was exposed to the importance of interaction between top-down and bottom-up neural/cognitive processes early on (I did my PhD in the department Steve Grossberg started), so I am slightly amused and baffled by the hype surrounding #PredictiveProcessing and/or #ActiveInference.

It suggests that David Hume's idea that all knowledge comes from the outside world has had way too long a half-life in biology.

Since I've migrated to zirk.us, here's an #introduction. I'm Chris Levesque, a historian of the #VietnamWar with interests in connections between gender, religion, and war. In my day job, I'm the Head of the Professional Studies Library and subject specialist librarian for Education, Criminal Justice, and Social Work at UWF. My second hat here is as Instruction and information Literacy Coordinator.

so because Im fairly new on this instance I thought I`ll finally write an #introduction toot.

I am Florian, a german #physics master #student working in the field of #quantum #optics. i did some programming in the past as a hobby, now mostly just #python for studying.
