Trying to understand brain learning and memory by means of physics. The whole is greater than the sum of parts.
New review story online. Just a little reflection. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
„Eine starke EU-Förderung für Forschung & Innovation ist unerlässlich, um 🇪🇺 als Magnet für Talente und Spitzenforscher zu stärken“, so BM @dorobaer. Das war auch Thema im Austausch mit der 🇩🇰Gastgeberin @ChristinaEgelun, der EU-Kommissarin @EZaharievaEU & 🇦🇹Ministerin @eviholz.
Elon: Oh no, the birth rate is declining!! Also Elon: Here kid, spend all your time looking up Ani’s skirt instead of studying — or learning to have conversations with actual women.
Try @Grok Companions. Best possible way to learn quantum mechanics 😘
Excited our recent work is now in print in @CellCellPress! Why does tau protein impair memory in Alzheimer's? We show that high-molecular-weight tau from patient brains disrupts neuronal bursts by suppressing CaV2.3 calcium channels. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
Congratulations to six of our researchers, including Raimund Strauß, who receive ERC Proof of Concept Grants for projects in #cloudcomputing, #robotics, #cancermedicine, #drugdevelopment and #astrophysics: go.mytum.de/121766 👏 @ERC_Research #ERCPoC 📷A.Heddergott
I love the idea of "micropublications" micropublication.org (preparing one now)
“I don't really believe in anonymous peer review. I think it’s corrupt. It’s all a giant story of somewhat corrupt gaming, I would say. I think it’s sort of inevitable that happens with these very large systems. It’s a pity.” —Stephen Wolfram. Source: tinyurl.com/ztmwku3p
I’m excited to speak at this UK DRI webinar “Rethinking Neurodegeneration” on 24 July, discussing cell type- and circuit-specific vulnerability in early Alzheimer’s. #Alzheimers #Neurodegeneration #UKDRI
🧠How do brain circuits fail in early Alzheimer's disease? 🧠 Join Dr @marcaurelbusche for the next research webinar in our 'Rethinking neurodegeneration' series, taking place 4-5pm (BST), Thurs 24 July 🗓️ During this fascinating talk and Q&A, Dr Busche will present…
In my personal experience with Duolingo, I found that it isn't an education app, it's a mobile game -- it's completely ineffective at teaching languages but it's quite entertaining and it's great at making you *feel* like you're learning
(1/3) Excited to introduce our new GRAB sensors for a series of steroid hormones! These tools enable real-time detection of steroid hormone dynamics in vivo🐭🧠.Happy to share these sensors and welcome any feedback!Please contact [email protected] for information.
2 weeks without smartphone internet significantly improved sustained attention. The effects were similar to being a decade younger.
System is so broken: - researchers write papers no one reads - reviewers don't have time to review, shamed to coauthors, use LLMs instead of reading - authors try to fool said LLMs with prompt injection - evaling researchers based on # of papers (no time to read) Dystopic.
By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it! When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy. Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.
Independence Day is the perfect time to ask if you want independence from the two-party (some would say uniparty) system! Should we create the America Party?

Für schnellere medizinische Innovation & bessere Therapien: Der German Biobank Node wird Teil des Netzwerks Universitätsmedizin @num_forschung. Das ermöglicht bessere klinische Studien und ist der nächste Schritt auf dem Weg zur Nationalen Biobank! #Präzisionsmedizin #Biobanking
🎺 I am hereby publicly offering to bet @darioamodei $1,000,000 that AI in 2027 will NOT be “smarter than Nobel Prize winners across most fields in science and engineering”. 🎺 Why? We are nowhere close. Consider: • New Stanford study from @ChengleiSi shows that “LLM ideas…
What's the strongest current thesis for a problem that can only be solved by bidirectionally interfacing with *millions* of neurons in the human brain?
Someone really built an iron dome for mosquitos. 🦟 Respect. 🤝
