General wisdom is that college gives students skills for good careers but what are those skills?
In a new study led by @ArjSabet in @ScientificData, we offer skills data based on millions of college course syllabi from US educational institutions.

Hard to overstate how pleased I am that the #flywire consortium converted our FAFB ("Full Adult Fly Brain") EM volume into a connectome, and that the resulting science has been (and will be) so impactful. Thanks to everyone involved.

Here it is! A huge milestone in neuroscience – the complete connectome of the fly brain from the FlyWire team (@FlyWireNews). In this special issue, we have 9 research articles. I’ll try to summarize them in a couple threads starting here 🧵
