Decoding intelligence. We are a hub at University of Washington in computational neuroscience research, spanning scales, function and mechanisms of the brain.
An action-packed week ahead: Oct 23 - CNC kicks off its Forum by the Bay with a talk by Shanahan Fellow @anamikaagr @ noon in the SOCC AND @UWbiology hosts Dr. Ashley Juavinett in HCK 132. Plus @UW_NBIO hosts Marcos Sotomayor of @UChicago on Oct 24th. #neuroscience
🚨Two tenure-track assistant professor positions in the Dept. of Applied Mathematics at the University of Washington. Please apply by 10/31. Details here: mathjobs.org/jobs/list/25055 Please distribute widely! #Neuroscience
What problems are neuroscientists🧠 at the biggest neuro conference in the world spending their careers working to solve? Do you see a person or topic you recognize at #SfN24?👀 #neuroscience
We are thrilled for our colleague David Baker who has won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry! David's work shows the awesome power of data and computation in solving problems in biology.
University of Washington biochemist David Baker has won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his pioneering work designing new proteins that can neutralize viruses, target cancer cells, and more.

BREAKING NEWS
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physics to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.”
Looking forward to hosting Samuele Virgili (@sam_virgili) for his talk "Perturbative approach to the retina: Probing feature selectivity of retinal ganglion cells during complex stimulation"! 📢Join us on 10/9, 1:30 pm, Health Sci Blg G328, UW Seattle.
Now accepting applications for the 2025 Shanahan Foundation Fellowship at the Interface of Data & Neuroscience. Apply by December 16 to join the Fall 2025 cohort. alleninstitute.org/careers/i…#SfN24@uwcnc
Blown away by these last two days at the @AllenInstitute and @UW. Here the researchers are not only doing the next big thing, but also pondering the next 5 steps that will change the world. It's breathtaking. Let me tell you a bit about what saw that got me so excited.
"Big buzz! @Nature published ~a dozen papers on the most comprehensive map of neuronal connectivity to date, a connectome of a fruit fly brain! The FlyWire consortium includes @UW_NBIO affiliate Forrest Collman and Shanahan Fellow Sven Dorkenwald (@sdorkenw). @FlyWireNews

This summer, we partnered with @TReNDinAfrica to host a computational neuroscience course, built on Allen Institute tools and data, for 20 students from across the African continent.
Simangele Shablala, a Ph.D. student at @ukzn, shares highlights from the course.
NeuroAI in Seattle! Great talks from locals and guests! Thanks to NSF AccelNet International Network for BioInspired Computation and the Shanahan Family Foundation. Coorganized by @uwcnc and @AINDynamicsneuroaiseattle.com/
Huge congrats to research associate professor and data science fellow @arokem who received the Education in Neuroimaging Award from the Organization for Human Brain Mapping! @OHBM@UWPsychology
