The people who tried to overturn the 2020 election have more power than ever – and they plan to use it.
Bolstered by the president,
they have prominent roles in key parts of the federal government.
🔸Harmeet Dhillon, a lawyer who helped advance Donald Trump’s claims of a stolen election in 2020, now leads the civil rights division of the justice department.
An election denier, 🔸Heather Honey, now serves as the deputy assistant secretary for election integrity in the …

fly_hemibrain: Fly hemibrain (2020)
A synaptic map of the hemibrain connectome of fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Nodes are neurons, and edges are synaptic connections, traced individually from brain image sections using EM reconstruction techniques. Neurons are labeled by their type. Edges are annotated by the connection strength between the neurons.
This network has 21739 nodes and 4259624 edges.

In 2020, after it became clear I’m unlikely to die of COVID, I’ve switched my perspective from fear to fascination.
I looked around & ~enjoyed~ experiencing unprecedented times. Couldn’t change them, so I channeled my inner Jocko Willink & made the best out of it.
Today, I feel similarly about AI. 1/3

The parabolic Dirichlet problem with continuous and Hölder boundary data, and rough coefficients
We provide very mild sufficient conditions for space-time domains (non-necessarily cylindrical) which ensure that the continuous Dirichlet problem and the Hölder Dirichlet problem are well-posed, for any parabolic operator in divergence form with merely bounded coefficients. Concretely, we show that the parabolic measure exists, even for unbounded domains, hence solving an open problem posed by Genschaw and Hofmann (2020). This problem has inherent difficulties because of its parabolic natur…

psi: Plant Photosystem I excitation energy transfer network (2020)
Weighted directed network of the light-harvesting Photosystem Ι (PSI) of the plant Pisum sativum. The nodes represent chromophores with different identities (i.e. chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, β-carotene and derivates, lutein, violaxanthin), while edges represent FRET transfer between chromophores. The link directionality connecting nodes in the PSI network depends on the energy levels of the connected chromophores. The…
