Finally a new textbook for theoretical neuroscience. Xiao-Jing Wang wrote a nice book with very broad coverage of the field. Highly recommend. amazon.com/Theoretical-Neuro…

Mark your calendars!! 🗓️ The first Young Biophysicists Meeting will be held on the coming Monday (March 3rd) from 11am - 12pm EST. We have four exciting talks lined up for you, see you all soon! Find out more : shorturl.at/4oKNe

Have you ever wondered how zebra stripes 🦓 & sunflower spirals 🌻form? The secret lies in the Turing oscillator—where reaction & diffusion create spontaneous patterns! Simulate a 1D Turing Oscillator with MOOSE! moose.ncbs.res.in/readthedoc… #MOOSE #TuringPatterns #EmergentBehavior

The peer-reviewed version of our article is out! elifesciences.org/articles/1…

Fun work on the regulation of the bacterial SOS response to DNA damage. Led by the fantastic @Aditya_Kamat96!

New preprint alert from the lab! Also you can hear an auto-generated 40 s audio summary here: sciencecast.org/casts/o3i498… More details on this exciting paper will follow soon! @NCBS_Bangalore

The push towards hypothesis-driven research is one of the key mistakes in the neuroscience field. In exponentially sized hypothesis spaces it simply is not a useful way of making progress. The convert-new-tech-into-hypothesis-progress industrial complex is a problem.

Sci-Hub and Library Genesis has been defined in the literature as 'Black Open Access' model. In the last few months I've been working on a paper, where I explain that Sci-Hub is actually 'Red Open Access' while Library Genesis can be understood as a subtype of 'Green Open Access'. The preprint is available here: preprints.org/manuscript/202… commentaries and criticisms are welcome. You can send them to me by email. The picture with Sci-Hub's statistics comes from that paper. The number of PDF downloads from Sci-Hub per month, 2016-2023. Surprisingly, the usage of the website only increased after 2020, and that is only counting statistics from original website, not even counting numerous Sci-Hub mirrors!

You can do that even now. Upload the pdf to chatgpt or Gemini and ask away all your queries. That's how I've been going through a bunch of papers in the last couple of months.

As a long-term signatory of the Declaration on Research Assessment, we thank @DORAssessment for this supportive message. There has been an ongoing move away from journal-level metrics; we hope this will only accelerate now. sfdora.org/2024/11/25/clariv…

🎉 Great news! Pylustrator, my open-source tool for creating publication-ready @matplotlib plots, works seamlessly with the latest Matplotlib version! 🖌️✨ Curious how it can transform your figures and save your changes as reproducible Python code? Let me show you! 🧵👇

We churn out more & more papers *per scientist*, at an increasing pace, in a rapidly changing publication landscape. Why? How? Want to make sense of this? In a new paper just published in Quantitative Science Studies we dive in & look for answers. direct.mit.edu/qss/article/d…
