The truth is that most people (Israelis and Palestinians) want peace. Fanatics (on both sides) use violence to increase hatred and fear to lessen the chance of peace. Don't be one of those. Don't support violence. Just Don't.

We're hiring - a lab tech and fully funded (UK rate) PhD student! Join us at UCL Ear Institute to figure out how the brain constructs auditory space! Adverts here (tech : shorturl.at/hmrFY) and here (PhD studentship :shorturl.at/adoJN). #systemsneuroscience #hearing

So seriously, how would we build a “coalition of the kind and the reasonable” that would allow us to hope and to work for a better future, wherever we are? I’ve been thinking about this for a while, and I believe that if enough of us could agree on just three things— three…

I wrote this two weeks ago, and I still stand by every word:

Trying to quiet the buzzing in my mind, here are 10 random things I know or believe. Maybe one or two will resonate with you:

1. Every human life has infinite worth.

2. Collective punishment is always wrong,…

this account will post only soothing landscape photos until everybody calms down and scientists who were friends until 48 hrs ago stop insulting each other and resume civil conversations.

My request to my fellow academics: stop with the maximalist thinking. People (and organizations) may have opinions that are different from yours. Do not yell, and do not cancel. Listen and hear instead. Please. 2/2

Victor Borrell Borrell Lab has been awarded #ERCSyG with 10.8 million € from European Research Council (ERC) 👏
We are very proud!
Thanks to this, the project UNFOLD will address the question of cortical folding from several points of view, with a special interest in understanding its complexity.

El European Research Council (ERC) (convocatoria Synergy Grants 2023) concede 37 proyectos de investigación por un valor total de 395 millones de euros. Cuatro de estos proyectos implican al CSIC, de ellos dos se desarrollan en centros del CSIC de la Comunitat Valenciana.

Every year I read a lot of grad school applications from accomplished people that don't give me the info I'm looking for. It feels like a major hidden curriculum thing. So here's (my opinion on) how to write a great Statement of Purpose/Research for a PhD program. 🧵 1/

“there is no contradiction between staunchly opposing the Israeli subjugation and occupation of Palestinians and unequivocally condemning brutal acts of violence against innocent civilians. In fact, every consistent leftist must hold both positions simultaneously.”

Many (probably most) people don't understand the meaning of 'From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free'. For those unaware, it implies the annihilation of the state of Israel. If you support the annihilation of a country and its approximately 10,000,000 citizens, continue…

eLife - the journal history trivia: in Italy between 1914-1945 there was a political movement that used to think that punishing people for their opinion was a good thing

I promised myself that I would not rage-tweet during these difficult times. But it is very difficult to hold back here. What a poor, poor decision.

Congratulations Aaron!

In this JNP paper, we showed that #InferiorColliculus neuronal responses to sound modulation reflect the mouse behavioral limits very well, especially when represented in a population-based model. Follow up coming soon…

So, you don't even mention the real reasons you are firing Michael Eisen. The pressures you received, the position of your funders (who are in the board, and obviously call the shots). You lament that Eisen's communication style 1/n
