For #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience, we spoke with 3 Collective scientists, asking what made them interested in science & what their advice is for girls who are also interested in science 👩🔬
Read what @marleneberke.bsky.social has to say ⬇️
If you missed this thread, I recommend! Megan is (gasp!) studying the thing that inspired a huge fraction of us to enter the field (consciousness) - & while she's modest about it all, she's ++ earned her many accolades.
BUT! her path has not been linear. I admire her for sharing it. So inspiring.
The University of Washington's Center for an Informed Public is looking to bring on new postdoctoral scholars to join our research community starting in 2026-2027. Come collaborate w/ our amazing, interdisciplinary team working to understand & help people navigate our complex information ecosystem!
Thanks @katenuss.bsky.social for sharing your work with us! Kate studies how people learn about the world through external exploration (acting) and internal exploration (imagining). Modeling & experiments reveal that people learn by simulating counterfactuals!

Selfishly piggybacking but people interested in this may also be interested in our new postdoc!

Princeton's AI Lab is advertising positions for AI Postdoctoral Fellows in two areas: studying natural and artificial minds, and designing, understanding or engineering large AI models. We are also searching for a Lead Research Software Engineer! ai.princeton.edu/ai-lab/emplo...
New post! Last week I shared why I thought cognitive (neuro)science hasn’t contributed as much as one might hope to the design of AI systems; this week I'm sharing my thoughts on how methods and principles from these fields *have* been useful in my work. infinitefaculty.substack.com/p/how-cognit...

This report in Nature on the costs of competing for & administering scientific grants is shocking: "In other words, European taxpayers will have spent more on the funding process than on the funding itself, and the scientific ecosystem has been drained." www.nature.com/articles/d41... 🧪
A new approach could help AI answer complex questions faster and more accurately.
In a prize-winning paper, Yale engineer Alex Lew shows how some guiding constraints can slow AI or distort results and offers a practical way to improve both speed and quality. #Yale
With so little money to go round, the costs of competing for grants can exceed what the grants are worth. When that happens, nobody wins.

The new paper provides a faster and more accurate algorithm for generating structured text from language models.
