A new law marks a shift for Spain, recognizing its government's role to play in reviving the memory of all the victims of Spain’s dark years. As many as 15,000 Spaniards were deported to Nazi concentration camps during the #Holocaust. New efforts are also underway to mark the victims with memorials.

Spain's new memory law dredges up a painful chapter of Spain's often forgotten ties to Nazis

Spain has long avoided addressing the fact that tens of thousands of Spaniards were victims of Nazis, who collaborated with Spain’s former dictator, Francisco Franco.

Anyone have strong opinions about the best stereo microscope setup for stereotaxic surgery? Anyone have great or awful experiences with resellers like microscopecentral? #neuroscience
Can someone help me building a list of researchers from maths and computer science interested in applying new math in Neuroscience? I am thinking about Category Theory, Universal Algebra, Algebraic Topology, Type Theory, Theory of compilers, etc, applied to understanding Neuroscience or close fields like AI.

A crash course/review of doing statistics in Python instead of R.

I recently spent some time translating my knowledge for a lot of data processing and stats work from R back to Python as I'll be rotating in a Python lab this term. I made three references which I'm posting here in case they're helpful for anyone else:

totally digging the Twitter archiver that @darius made. dump your Twitter feed, give the archiver your .zip, and it creates a browsable website of your account -- you can share old tweets, search them, etc. i was able to dump mine & completely hollow out my account in like 2 seconds

Twitter archiver

A simple, searchable, themeable archive of your public tweets

Going forward, #DeepLabCut updates will come via medium (and GitHub of course), but not the bird. This is sad, as the science Twitter community, I believe, was so important in getting out the word early on our very first code release and paper. But, it’s not okay anymore 💔…

📣🚨To get the latest updates on our code releases going forward, please see our medium blog http://www.deeplabcut.medium.com and all resources linked on our homepage: http://DeepLabCut.org - take care #deeplabcutters 🙏🏼💜

Week 1: We will finally bring free speech to the Internet

Week 8: Linktree is illegal

it's so instructive to toggle back and forth between Twitter & here. do I want to see the ads? I don't; do I want whatever's trending to completely dominate my feed? I don't; do I think the algorithm serves me better than my own simply tailored feed? I don't; do I prefer a platform whose simple rules state "no racism" right up there at the top? I do; does a federation make more sense than a top-down hierarchy from almost every standpoint? emphatically yes.
