"I have achieved every professional accolade that I could have ever dreamed of and more, and it completely broke me." Science journalist Ed Yong earned global acclaim and a Pulitzer for his critical reporting on the pandemic for The Atlantic, but it came at a deeply personal cost. https://xoxofest.com/2024/videos/ed-yong

Excited to announce the first Bonsai Conference, a week-long event aimed at bringing together neuroscience researchers, computational scientists, and software engineers developing and using the Bonsai visual reactive programming language.

It will be held in London, UK from Monday, 2 December 2024 to Friday, 6 December 2024 at @SWC_Neuro.

Registration is free, but we have limited places available for in-person attendance.

We expect the conference to provide a unique opportunity for the Bonsai community to share all the exciting things it has been doing with Bonsai, learn from each other, and help shape the future of the language. Please join us if you can!

My friend Cécile's documentary #film Mother Vera is playing at the BFI London Film Festival #LFF in October. It is phenomenal and I highly recommend going to see it in cinema if you're in town. https://whatson.bfi.org.uk/lff/Online/default.asp?BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::permalink=mother-vera-lff24
