Moving to another social media platform? I'm on the the mammoth one, the blue one, and the corporate one, if you want to follow me there (in order of preference). Links in next post.

I like to make stuff: @briansimulator @neuromatch.
Mostly posting on 🐘/🦋 now. Check pinned post for links.
- The current system of journals and peer review is not serving science. I have therefore resigned from all editorial roles and will no longer do pre-publication peer review. I explain why in this article and in the thread below. Please consider joining me.
- I'm happy to announce the start of a new free and open online course on neuroscience for people with a machine learning or similar background, co-developed by @MarcusGhosh. YouTube Videos and Jupyter-based exercises will be released weekly. There is a Discord for discussions.
- We made a free, open course on neuroscience for people with a machine learning / quantitative background. Get deep in computational neuroscience, or just indulge your neurocuriousity. I believe that neuro and ML can learn from each other and do better together than on their own.
- I gave my students the ability to assign tasks to me that appear in my to-do list. It took one day for this to happen.
- The spikes must flow! I'd love to announce a new paper with that title, but sadly the editors at Neuron changed it. Still v happy this paper is out because there's a revolution taking place in spiking neural networks and I want everyone to know about it. 👇🧵
- Frustrated with journals, I've been tinkering with ideas for a better way to read papers than static/linear. I have a v0.1 demo - would be great to get feedback. Would you find something like this useful? What else should be included? More details in 🧵👇 thesamovar.github.io/notpaper/demop…
- Announcing #neuromatch2020 free online unconference, March 30-31. 1. Confirmed speakers Yoshua Bengio, @russpoldrack, @behrenstimb, @drkjjeffery, @KordingLab. 2. Mind matching meetings with other scientists based on your research interests.
- I'm accepting applications for PhD students in computational neuroscience, with a particular interest in, but not limited to, applications of machine learning to neuroscience. See website for details, and please pass on to anyone who might be interested.
- Have you ever wondered why neurons are like snowflakes? No two alike, even if they're the same type. In our latest preprint, we think we have (at least part of) the answer: it promotes robust learning. Tweeprint follows (1/16) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
- I collected some free resources for learning computational neuroscience on my website. Please feel free to share with others and to send me suggestions.I'm thinking about putting together a document with links to lots of good, freely available resources for learning comp neuro. What would everyone suggest? Top of my head, I know about the Gerstner textbook, INCF training spaces, and @summerfieldlab notes just posted. What else?neural-reckoning.orgComputational neuroscience resources
- Join us! A new fully open collaborative computational neuroscience research project. Anyone can participate and everyone who contributes gets to be an author. Details below 🧵 or jump straight to the website. 🙏 @TomasFiers @ryrobyrne for setting it up! comob-project.github.io/snn-sound-loca…
- My university will hire a couple of undergrads to help turn my neuroscience course neuro4ml.github.io into an interactive textbook along the lines of @neuromatch academy compneuro.neuromatch.io. I'd like to try a little more though.
- Safer version: We should really be doing more of this sort of thing! Much easier to understand, especially using consistent colours across a paper. Now we need some nice latex tool to make it easier. betterexplained.com/articles/color…
