Mine was just canceled too (was supposed to be next week). Horrific -- for NIH and especially all the science that depends on it.

These great research institutions in red states are slated to lose about $1B in NIH research dollars
Congratulations to Karolina and the team and thank you to our funders NERF, VIB, and FWO and collaborators @NeuralCodeUMD, Matt Whiteway who have supported us and contributed to this project. URL doi.org/10.1016/j.celr… Official press release: x.com/VIBLifeScience…

Excited to release what we’ve been working on at Amaranth Foundation, our latest whitepaper, NeuroAI for AI safety! A detailed, ambitious roadmap for how neuroscience research can help build safer AI systems while accelerating both virtual neuroscience and neurotech. 1/N
Super-significant work in NeuroAI!
Looking forward to #sfn2024! I'll talk on Sat PM and the lab will have posters on Mon PM from @APhensy @lenashindy Lara Hagopian & Teagan Bullock. Thanks to @christineliuart for flyer production!!
We are recruiting PhD students for this fall, to work at the interface of visual neurophysiology and machine learning. Are you enthusiastic (and ideally knowledgable :) about both? Send me an email!
Come join a fantastic lab (with great collaborators :) to combine cutting edge neurophysiology and computation to answer fundamental questions about vision at the NIH. [pls RT]

I'm at #NeurIPS23 and I'll be presenting this work on Tue Dec 12, afternoon session (poster #415). Details here: nips.cc/virtual/2023/p… I love chatting about brains, AI, and anything in between. If you're at #NeurIPS23 and care about #NeuroAI, let’s connect! 🧠🤖

This paper is so cool: dangeng.github.io/visual_anagram… It shows several kinds of illusions that I had never seen before (e.g., color inversion illusion). It's exciting to see more and more cases like this, where AI opens up new kinds of art, rather than only imitating old forms.
#SfN23, @SfNtweets: come check out my poster tomorrow (Sunday) morning if you are curious about the relationship between generative modeling and the brain. Work with @jcbyts and @NeuralCodeUMD. abstractsonline.com/pp8/#!/10892/p…
Come see our poster this afternoon (Saturday) at #SfN23 (Z26): suggesting color and form are processed through separate channels in (high-acuity) foveal V1, likely due to the limits of cone sampling. With @BevilConway and presented by Felix Bartsch.
If you’re interested in a postdoc at the NIH, track me down at SfN. My lab has four posters on Saturday afternoon (row Z: 18/19/25/26), and I’ll chair a session on objects and scenes Wednesday morning, room WC147A.

We have a 5-year postdoc position in my lab @NatEyeInstitute, @NIH, details are here: nei.nih.gov/grants-and-tra…
We have another open postdoc position! Come join a collaborative community at the Laboratory of Sensorimotor Research, NIH. I welcome informal inquiries.
