Princeton neuro prof. But Twitter is an absurd platform for professional communication so I strive to use it most unprofessionally.

Replying to @Jas_HughesIsraeli airport security once pulled me into a room, asked me to boot my computer, and barked with hostility and suspicion "WHERE ARE ALL THE WINDOWS!!?!" um, i run linux, sir. "WHY DO YOU RUN LINUX!!?!"- A big publication day for us. First @payampiray's theoretical manifesto on linear approximations to RL which offers a new & thought-provoking take connecting a range of behavioral & neural phenomena from cognitive control to planning to grid fields.
- Replying to @Jas_Hughesi actually stammered "um, because I'm a computational neuroscientist?"
- "extremely expensive face/house detector"
- We have an exciting, immediate postdoctoral opportunity with me, @yael_niv, & Jon "not on twitter" Cohen @PrincetonNeuro to extend our ongoing computational psychiatry research into machine learning with large clinical datasets. See here, or contact me: puwebp.princeton.edu/AcadHire/apply…
- . @APA is back to threatening authors about posting their own papers on their web sites. Atrocious behavior for a nonprofit professional society! Resigning my consulting editor position.
- Big Nature Neuroscience day for us: @marcelomattar's fab theory of place cell replay came out rdcu.be/9Pjq with a kind N&V from @john_widloski & David Foster goo.gl/FtdDE6, and (coincidentally) a piece from me about how it all started rdcu.be/9Plt
- Come work with us! The Neuroscience Institute and the Department of Psychology at Princeton University are searching for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the area of human cognitive neuroscience, to be hired jointly in Psychology and Neuroscience: puwebp.princeton.edu/AcadHire/apply…
- Ok one more. Advertise your graduate program or your lab with these persuasive pro-neuroscience posters!
- I hate SFN, but I cooked, and more importantly ate, a Chicago-style pizza in honor of not going. The rest of you should skip out on the meeting and head to Pequod's immediately. Trust me, it's the only thing you'll remember about SFN come next year.
