Complex three-dimensional rearing environments amplify compensatory plasticity following early blindness
The neocortex has a remarkable capacity to alter its functional organization and connectivity in response to sensory loss, particularly if this loss occurs early in life. A key question is whether this cross-modal reorganization is driven by sensory deprivation itself or through enhanced use of the spared senses. We investigated how different rearing environments shape neural responses in primary somatosensory cortex (S1) of short-tailed opossums ( Monodelphis domestica) , following elimination…

As usual we watched the "Stoertebekker" stage play at Ralswiek on Rügen Island. The stage setups and wardrobes were as awesome as always. They really try to improve on that every year and come up with clever mechanisms to transform the building for the various acts of the play. The script this year left room for desire ;) Nevertheless a happing worth attending

dramatic nighttime view of a medieval red brick castle complex illuminated against a deep blue sky. The fortress features multiple towers with conical roofs, Gothic arched windows, and wooden walkways connecting different sections. The warm lighting creates a striking contrast with the twilight sky, highlighting the intricate brickwork and architectural details.
A dramatic theatrical scene showing a medieval village set with half-timbered buildings and stone structures during what appears to be a fire sequence. Bright orange and yellow flames and smoke billow dramatically from behind the buildings against a twilight blue sky. The stage set includes traditional Germanic-style architecture with timber framing, thatched roofs, and stone walls, all illuminated by warm stage lighting. This appears to be part of an outdoor historical drama performance with e…
A daytime view of the same outdoor theater venue showing the medieval village stage set from a different angle. The scene includes traditional Germanic-style buildings with timber framing, stone towers, and period ships docked at a waterfront. Hundreds of spectators fill the amphitheater seating, watching what appears to be a historical reenactment performance.
Another view of the outdoor performance venue during daylight hours, showcasing the impressive scale of the medieval town recreation. The set includes detailed replicas of half-timbered houses, castle walls, towers, and historic vessels positioned along the waterfront. A packed audience enjoys the theatrical production from the modern tiered seating area.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

REAL ENEMIES is an evening-length, multimedia, jazz-fueled exploration of American paranoia. This innovative marriage of music-theater and hybrid nonfiction marks the first collaboration between composer Darcy James Argue, filmmaker Peter Nigrini and writer Isaac Butler, who together chronicle a shadow history of post-war America that may—or may not—be true.

Improved sampling algorithms and Poincaré inequalities for non-log-concave distributions
We study the problem of sampling from a distribution $μ$ with density $\propto e^{-V}$ for some potential function $V:\mathbb R^d\to \mathbb R$ with query access to $V$ and $\nabla V$. We start with the following standard assumptions: (1) The potential function $V$ is $L$-smooth. (2) The second moment $\mathbf{E}_{X\sim μ}[\|X\|^2]\leq M$. Recently, He and Zhang (COLT'25) showed that the query complexity of sampling from such distributions is at least $\left(\frac{LM}{dε}\rig…
