I made a little friend on my walk in Mayo…

Massive Multiplexing of Spatially Resolved Single Neuron Projections with Axonal BARseq https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.02.18.528865v1 - awesome work from Tony Zador and colleagues!

Genetic determinism, essentialism and reductionism: semantic clarity for contested science https://rdcu.be/c5TvM - a really useful piece from @kph3k
on important concepts in and attitudes towards human genetics

Some holiday reading (and re-reading) in preparation for our new module on Systems - the Science of Everything 😊

How many neurons does it take to change a lightbulb? http://www.wiringthebrain.com/2022/12/how-many-neurons-does-it-take-to-change.html (my latest blogpost looking at how and when neurons started to work as populations)

Did nervous systems start out as simple circuits and only evolve to dynamic population modes as they got bigger? Or were the first neurons born into pre-existing "Hopfieldian" networks? http://www.wiringthebrain.com/2022/12/how-many-neurons-does-it-take-to-change.html

Finalised the title for my new book, today, with @PrincetonUPress: "𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐀𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬: 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐄𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞" (due out Oct 2023...) 😊
