Looks like Reelin has other effects outside the brain, not always positive.

Thank you for sharing that. Under "Reelin Effects", at least two negatives caught my eye:

    Coagulation: Reelin promotes thrombus formation. 
    
    Atherosclerosis: Reelin promotes inflammation and plaque formation.

Just a heads up, but contrary to the article, the NYC Papers We Love meetup is back. https://www.meetup.com/papers-we-love/events/302129898/

> tired of the infantilization of the industry

I would like to hear more about this.

Metapict has come in very handy to generate SVGs for use with my AxiDraw plotter. Love seeing blog posts like this with pro-tips on how to compose the functions. I always learn a lot from practical examples.

I have heard good things about https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/ideas-created-future

The pandemic has been tough on Papers We Love as many of the local chapter meetups had to shutdown. This had an adverse impact on the Papers We Love Conf (https://pwlconf.org/) as well.

Some chapters (Seattle, Chattanooga, Bangalore) have managed to keep up a semi-regular cadence of Zoom meetups. NYC tried but has a hard time getting speakers (which is a bit surprising tbh.)

If you're interested in running a meetup, being a speaker or volunteering your time hit up @papers_we_love on Twitter.

Companies love to sponsor the local meetups because they see them as recruiting pools. They will usually provide the space and some $$ for food (pizza)

There was initial attempt in 2017: https://github.com/papers-we-love/sao-paulo

Maybe you could get some people together and start one https://github.com/papers-we-love/organizers

There used to be a Chicago chapter https://paperswelove.org/chapter/chicago/ - would be great to get it restarted
