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.

Argh, das PHP-Problem bei meiner grünen OV-Seite scheint (vermutlich, weil ich zwischendurch zu rabiaten Maßnahmen gegriffen habe) dazu zu führen, dass das #ActivtiyPub-Plugin jetzt alle Beiträge seit 2020 neu federiert. Sorry dafür.

'You Can’t Live Without Us': How Big Oil Pivoted from Climate-friendly Messaging to Normalise Dependence on Fossil Fuels  
Four of the world’s biggest oil and gas companies have spent the last four years systematically shifting away from climate-friendly advertising to push a new message: fossil fuels are here to stay, a report has found.  Campaign group Clean Creatives analysed 1,859 communications from BP, Shell, ExxonMobil, and Chevron published between 2020 and 2024, spanning paid advertisements on Facebook, YouTube, […]

While the Artemis II Wet Dress Rehearsal is back on track, we get a rare report about a #Falcon9 not working as planned - and the rocket being grounded for now. "During today’s Falcon 9 launch of Starlink satellites, the second stage experienced an off-nominal condition during preparation for the deorbit burn," reports https://x.com/SpaceX/status/2018485314508198331: "The vehicle then performed as designed to successfully passivate the stage. The first two MVac burns were nominal and safely deployed all 25 satellites to their intended orbit. Teams are reviewing data to determine root cause and corrective actions before returning to flight".

But absurdity is no impediment to religious belief—credo quia absurdum. Working mostly off-campus, I noticed no real change in my own university until the BLM-riot-inspired anti-racism crisis of 2020, when I found that academe, originally a place for the free exchange of ideas, had become almost unrecognizable. Higher education has begun a transformation along the same lines as the 1966 “Cultural Revolution” in Maoist China.

The Multiversity and its Discontents: The Evolution of a Fatal Flaw — Minding The Campus
A well-known podcaster has the custom of going “off the grid” for a month each summer, to gain some perspective. I can beat that: I have been retired from academic teaching and research for nearly 14 years and have rarely visited my campus during that time. But last year, I finally encountered the university first-hand, […]

I (miss) remembered this including FPS. (I don't see FPS listed now, thus the quick delete and edit. Apologies.)
FPS has worked with CBP in the past. FPS and CBP were "protecting" federal buildings back in 2020 during the George Floyd uprising.

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…

The US' February jobs report shows the tech sector's post-2022 job losses are now outpacing past downturns in 2008 and 2020 (Business Insider)

Tech jobs are getting demolished in ways not seen since 2008 and the dot-com bust
