果蝇大脑视频外网刷屏的背后:如何看待科学的“抖音化”?
一段病毒式传播的视频声称展示了果蝇大脑被数字上传的过程。事实并非如此,但它揭示了科学噱头可以传播得有多快。随着公共研究经费变得越来越难以预测,科学家们正面临压力,需要让自己的研究听起来具有变革性和可投资性。
Davy is an neuroscientist and neuro-engineer trained at Harvard medical school and MIT. His mission is to develop foundational technologies to enable whole brain emulation (colloquially known as mind-uploading) within this century. Currently he is developing an integrative experimental pipeline that maps structure to function in the nervous system with nanoscale spatial resolution and millisecond temporal resolution. Previously he studied chemistry, genetics and psychology at the University of California, Berkeley and computational biology at Harvard University.

A video about the brain of a fruit fly created a buzz - and raised questions about hype, funding and public trust.
