Really enjoyed reading this! Takes on some weighty issues – scientific integrity, fate of the world,... – through the eyes of an enthusiastic 17-y old. Who ended up changing his university before Christmas of his freshman year.
Adam Kampff’s passion for understanding and explaining the world was unmatched. Living by example and not ever compromising on his dreams, Adam was uncanny in making people realize they can learn and understand anything and everything. Keep his dream alive!

Amazing new data set from Yeon Jin Kim and colleagues with the connectome of a human fovea: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
@erictopol.bsky.social posted this diagram earlier today. When I pointed out the obvious AI slop and copious errors, he blocked me. But you can also find it on his substack. Topol poses as a serious medical person, but disseminating such graphical nonsense is disqualifying. Unfollow.
Cool new work from Wiederhold and colleagues, analyzing the speed of mental processing during mental calculations like this one:

Prediction without understanding sustained astronomy through a thousand years of epicycles, writes @tonyzador.bsky.social. AI is now offering neuroscience the same deal. #neuroskyence
