Good luck, Nikolas! I am very much looking forward to your future discoveries!
Replying to @nikolaskaralis
I am immensely grateful to everyone who supported and guided me during the past decade, and especially my mentors Andreas Luthi @Luthi_FMI @FMIscience, Anton Sirota @antsiro, and Cyril Herry @CyrilHerrylab, whose mentorship has been pivotal in shaping my career.

Our lab will focus on unraveling the principles governing the organization of neuronal circuits and brain dynamics, using large-scale electrophysiology, imaging, photometry, optogenetics, and in vivo genome editing.

As floods & fires rise, oceans boil & ice melts, and "safe" temperatures are breached, something momentous just happened in the heart of the EU. No one has heard about it: journalists were present, but their editors refused to publish 🤯. 🧵, please RT. #BeyondGrowth2023 1/

Email I sent in response to @NatureComms´s request for me to act as a reviewer today (part 1 of 2). #OpenAccess isn´t open if those of us in developing countries are economically excluded from publishing equitably.

Excited to share our piece on gamma oscillations. We propose to shift from a frequency to a mechanistic-based definition of gamma oscillations and argue that rather than implementing specific functions they inform of the underlying circuit computations. cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S08…

My animal of the year (including humans): Insects, which we are in the process of wiping out If you drive, have you noticed that many fewer insects crash into your windshield compared to a few years ago? Sadly, this has a name: the ‘windshield phenomenon’ 🧵

When I first confronted one of the missile programmers months ago, I asked him how he sleeps at night after what he does. He snapped back: "Be professional. Ask a professional question". I asked him why they kill so many civilians. He wrote "You know well I can't answer this".
Ever wonder how Russian cruise missiles find their way into Ukrainian playgrounds, power stations, and apartment buildings? Well thanks to @bellingcat’s @christogrozev wonder no more. It’s time to meet the team behind the targeting of Russian missiles on civilian infrastructure.

A former +2800 player just told me he has played exactly one 100% game one 97% game a few 85%+ games and that's it. In three years, Niemann has played ten 100% games twenty-three other 90%+ games.

Prior work claims that training artificial networks (ANNs) on a path integration task generically creates grid cells (a). We empirically show and analytically explain why grid cells only emerge in a small subset of hyperparameter space chosen post-hoc by the programmer (b). 3/13

I am probably the last person to tweet out the SWIFT switch off story, because it was so unlikely Germany would agree that I thought it was not confirmed until it's officially confirmed. Now it is. spiegel.de/wirtschaft/swift-…
