Happy to announce a new paper with @meg_younger and former postdoc Caitlin Lienkaemper (not on this app): When noncanonical olfaction is optimal pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.25…

When noncanonical olfaction is optimal | PNAS

The early olfactory system is canonically described by a “one-receptor-to-one-neuron” model: each olfactory sensory neuron (OSN) expresses a single...

while generalist organisms that use their olfactory systems for learned behaviors may benefit from the canonical structure.

1. make a Mastadon account even if you don’t want to use it yet. 2. put your new handle in your Twitter bio. 3. run a tool like this to export the people that you follow. Even if you’re not ready to learn Mastodon, these 3 steps allow you to get up and running later.
Florian Jug@florianjug18 Nov 2022
Update: almost 10% of who I follow on Twitter made #TheMove and put their #Mastodon handle in their Twitter profile.

This is a long (200+ pages) but elementary treatment of tensors from the perspective of three definitions of a tensor: An object that satisfies certain transformation rules (equivariance); a multilinear map; an element of a tensor product of vector spaces: arxiv.org/abs/2106.08090
