Fantastic talk by @MillerLabMIT on Learning Salon. Highly recommended. (And the talk is not really 2+ hours, even though it looks like it will be)



A few thoughts below: I think @MillerLabMIT is 100% correct to invoke Thomas Kuhn and paradigm shift. It's that big.

There really is a totally new way of thinking about functional neuroanatomy.

And like in classic shifts, the new way resolves a bunch of anomalies that people were ignoring.

Unlike a bunch of other people, I disagree with this paper. 🧵

arxiv.org/abs/2106.14562 First, I think the paper takes on a straw man. I have been doing this stuff for >20 years and I've never heard anyone argue that n=2 lets you draw inferences about a population. I don't think you need to go through the stats here to see why. 2 is just a very small number.

In 2017, 9 faculty and students filed a sexual-harassment and retaliation suit against the University of Rochester. We have now settled our case.

We made sure we could tell our story afterwards. That is rare.

Here is what happened and why we did it: For the record, here is the link to the press release. Note that UR thanks the plaintiffs for our role as whistleblowers.

Extrapolating from my own experience, I want to provide some context about what I presume it's like, behind the scenes, to be one of these plaintiffs. 1/
TL;DR: Staging a lawsuit like this is huge timesuck, has great costs to one's research and personal life, and offers little reward other than the knowledge you might be making things better for others in the future. 2/
