1. Excited to share our work-the formal version of last year's first preprint of K+ selective ChR (KCR) structures shorturl.at/achP8 'Structural Basis for Ion Selectivity in Potassium-Selective Channelrhodopsins' published in Cell!

I still see Matlab as a main language listed on some resumes I review, especially from candidates with ECE backgrounds.

If you’re still teaching with Matlab instead of Python, or if you’re using Matlab in your research group, you’re doing your students a real disservice.

This idea turns out to be so rich that we could keep expanding the discussion section on a daily basis.

Sometimes you just find a $100 bill on the ground. Let’s see what we can do with it.

i don't know why democrats are crowing over this map. this is a loss.

Very happy to share our work on bottlenecks to cerebellum and similar structures nature.com/articles/s4159… With Ashok Litwin-Kumar and Mark Wagner! 🧵below

New blog post! I found 'Differentiable Search of Evolutionary Trees' by Ramith Hettiarachchi to be amazingly accessible, innovative, and relevant to my line of work. Here's my Journal Club review of the paper: buff.ly/47B530X. Congrats, Ramith, and ty for reviewing my review!

Good evening, Twitter! I’m spending my Friday night in the affluent Bay Area suburb of Millbrae, where the county is presenting a plan to turn a hotel into ~100 homes for unhoused residents.

It appears that the entire city is here, and they are *pissed*. 🧵

I’m heartbroken to share the sudden passing of a dear friend, Sliman Bensmaia (sliman bensmaia (@[email protected])). I worked on one of my best papers with him, and doing science with him was a highlight of my scientific career. Read on -- 1/n

State of the art Ai coding stack:

Cursor
VSCode fork. Best Ai editor by miles
100x GitHub copilot

Aider chat
Best agent for actual dev work in existing codebases

Phind Vscode(aka cursor) ext
better than google, stackoverflow, chatGPT & perplexity

Details & 4 more I’m 👀ing:

Large language models have demonstrated a surprising range of skills and behaviors. How can we trace their source? In our new paper, we use influence functions to find training examples that contribute to a given model output.

Some life news: David Tingley and I recently launched Olio Labs with backing from SciFounders and Y Combinator !

Let's build!

On the 30th day you would get fined like 50 trillion dollars lol
