On reverse engineering of the roundworm C.elegans - with Konrad Kording - #8

Today's guest has argued that the present dominant way of doing systems neuroscience in mammals (large-scale electric or optical recordings of neural activity combined with data analysis) will be inadequate for understanding how their brain works. Instead, he proposes to focus on the simple roundw…

Rigor "In Plain English" - LIVE at UPenn

Scientific rigor is an incredibly important topic...but what does rigor actually mean? And how can we create communities where rigor is the norm?
