Amazing work!
Our study on visual processing during free movement is now out in Neuron, with additional data/analysis suggested by insightful reviewers. An incredible effort, studying vision from the mouse's view, led by @CosmouseVision and @elliott_abe! Free link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1fnve…

I'm looking for a few papers on diversity, equity and inclusion in research that would make for a good discussion among PhD students in a responsible conduct of research course. Suggestions?

Likewise! Fun project with @BlumenthalBarby. Thanks to @Duke_SSNAP and @GreenwallFdn for helping to forge this sort of neuroscience-ethics-philosophy collaboration!
Excited to have a chapter in here with @FelsenLab on neuroethics and optogenetics

Excited and proud to share my postdoc work out @nature today: go.nature.com/3pscOlX. It all started as a conversation on a balcony many years ago with @zmainen on the mysteries of olfaction and spatial cognition 👃🧠🚀 Video by @Neuro_CF AV team 👉youtu.be/BunEBiU3MO0 1/n

I've had a front row seat to this excellent work via Dylan's thesis committee. Great to see it in preprint form! Recommended reading.
Pleased to share our latest on how the cerebellum perfects movements. Props to my student Dylan Calame on his wonderful thesis work. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Until the pre-print posts, I figured I would put together a thread for those who want to see the data. Many thanks to @wilfredo_nk, @kstdenis29, @EvanCLam, @adamnitido, @NaranbhaiVivek who have been up at all hours of the night both at the bench and writing the paper! 1/16
