#arXiv has announced that, from July 1, 2026, it will become an independent #nonprofit after many years at #CornellUniversity. The stated goals are greater organizational flexibility, faster technological development, broader partnerships, and long-term financial sustainability, while keeping the same mission:

🌍 https://blog.arxiv.org/2026/04/02/arxiv-is-becoming-an-independent-nonprofit/

Sounds like a reasonable and probably necessary step for a platform that has long become core research infrastructure.

🔬 New #SpectralUnmixing paper by Ashesh et al. ( @florianjug@mastodon.online): A #DeepLearning-based framework #MicroSplit for #FluorescenceMicroscopy that separates highly overlapping #fluorophore signals directly from multiplexed #ImagingData. Improves signal separation, reduces crosstalk, & enables more accurate multi-channel #imaging w/o requiring extensive reference measurements. Can’t wait to try this out on our in vivo #2P/ #3P imaging data:

From #DEVONthink To Go’s update notice today:

"We’re naming this release after the mathematician Joseph-Louis #Lagrange (1736-1813) who made significant contributions to the fields of #analysis, #NumberTheory, and both classical and celestial #mechanics. Lagrange’s work has had a profound impact on our understanding of #celestial mechanics and has practical applications in #SpaceExploration."

That is exactly the kind of detail that makes me love this tool ❤️

🧠 New publication from our lab 🥳! Nala ( @MaFu55@nrw.social Lab, @dzne@social.bund.de) & Naya (Corentin Le Magueresse Lab) show that #schizophrenia-associated complement C4 impairs #synaptic connectivity and alters #microglia–synapse interactions via #CR3 signaling.

🧠 Interesting review by Montague & Kocher on #naturalistic #neuroscience: Nature-inspired neuroscience argues that neuroscience gains by looking beyond a few standard model organisms. Across the animal kingdom, nervous systems have evolved many different solutions for sensing, acting, and learning. Embracing this diversity may reveal both shared principles and mechanisms that mainstream models have missed:

🧠 New paper by Cowley et al: Compact deep neural network models of the #VisualCortex .

The authors show that neural responses in primate visual cortex can be predicted by much smaller, interpretable #DeepNeuralMetworks than previously assumed. By constraining model architecture and parameters, they achieve strong predictive performance while revealing computational structure in cortical processing.

Congratulations to Heike Rauer! 🎉

I had the pleasure of experiencing her work firsthand in a colloquium at my former institute while I was still a student, and I remember her as an outstanding #planetary scientist. A very well-deserved recognition!

Attached: 1 image 🧠 🔬 Think Pink In collaboration with researchers from the #UniTokyo, a research team from the #UniCologne has developed a calcium sensor that can track the activity of nerve cells in the brain more effectively than previous sensors. For the first time, the sensor combines the advantages of red and green calcium sensors: it is significantly brighter than previous red versions and, at the same time, provides deeper insights into the brain.

📈🧮 In a discussion on the #DEVONthink forum (https://discourse.devontechnologies.com/t/latex-inline-rendering-now-also-broken-in-dt-4-2/86193/5), I just came across #XyJax for #MathJax. I didn’t know it before. It's an Xy-pic extension for MathJax 3, so it can be used to draw commutative diagrams. Very useful. I will definitely experiment with this:

LaTeX inline rendering now also broken in DT 4.2

LaTeX inline rendering now also broken in DT 4.2

Do you think your solution could be used to also load XyJax (so one can draw commutative diagrams in style)? GitHub - sonoisa/XyJax-v3: Xy-pic extension for MathJax version 3 · GitHub
