Show PostOh. Right. Running races means getting up at ungodly times on a Sunday morning. I forgot that part. At least it's fucking charming out here.
Show PostTerrific! Looking forward to listening. I’ve been analyzing dopamine neuron data 🤩. They are such incredible little reward prediction error machines.
