- OPINIE - Heino Falcke, hoogleraar astrofysica, stuitte bij het boeken van een eenvoudig treinticket op het ‘bureaucratisch monster’ van de universiteit. Waanzin, schrijft hij, die meer veroorzaakt dan persoonlijke frustratie. (1/2)

- A bit belated, but here are some new papers! first, a conceptual framework for modelling extremes in neuroimaging data onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... Great work from the inimitable Charlotte Fraza!
- when doing neuroscience projects I often advocate for computational modelling, followed by data analysis to test model's predictions. however a few times now I have had pushback from collaborators/reivewers suggesting it would be better to do the data analysis first, then the modelling. thoughts?
- To me it seems to be a very healthy approach to validate data analysis methods on model-based data where the ground-truth is known, before applying it to experimental data.

- 1/X Excited to present this preprint on multi-tasking, with @david-g-clark.bsky.social and Ashok Litwin-Kumar! Timely too, as “low-D manifold” has been trending again.

- Wow! I have to say that this is where the @elife.bsky.social model really shines. Super interesting paper that makes a very strong claim. Reviewers feel interpretation goes beyond what the results show. Paper published with both sides. We all benefit much more than just a publish or reject. Bravo!
