Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children is a SARS-CoV-2 triggered Kawasaki disease www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Flu season is here somewhat early. Be careful out there, masks in crowded indoor spaces are a good idea, and get your flu (and Covid) shots asap.

Voting for a better future 🇺🇸💪

25 hospitalizations, six deaths and one fetal loss have been reported in a listeria outbreak linked to recalled ready-to-eat pasta salads supplied by Nate's Fine Foods Inc. sold at Trader Joe's, Sprouts, Kroger, Walmart. FDA, CDC are investigating multi-state outbreak.

Exactly a week ago tonight, I bought an outstanding quesadilla from a food truck around the corner from my house. Sometime today, the man who smiled warmly and provided my meal to me, and literal shelter from a rainstorm, was kidnapped by paramilitary forces.

🧠🌟🐭 Excited to share some of my postdoc work on the evolution of dexterity! We compared deer mice evolved in forest vs prairie habitats. We found that forest mice have: (1) more corticospinal neurons (CSNs) (2) better hand dexterity (3) more dexterous climbing, which is linked to CSN number🧵

Terrifying. An Associated Press investigation found more than 420 bills attacking longstanding public health protections such as vaccines, milk safety and fluoride have been introduced in statehouses across the US so far this year. Around 30 bills in 12 states have already been enacted or adopted.

The NIH institute director firing last Friday is very bad. I made a video explainer about why. Stay for last post, w link to @science.org story from @jocelynkaiser.bsky.social 1/4 🧪

At least 10 gun industry businesses, including Glock, Smith & Wesson, Remington and Mossberg, secretly handed over names, addresses and other data to lobbyists, who used the details to rally firearm owners to elect pro-gun politicians. By @coreygjohnson.bsky.social (Published Oct. 2024)

Also, nevermind the weak statistical effects that fail to achieve significance if appropriate corrections for multiple comparisons are applied…

During these uncertain times, I’m very happy to see that my institution, @scripps.edu has an open tenure-track Assistant Professor position. Any field in Chemistry or Biology is welcome. I’d especially love to see fellow neuroscientists apply. Please repost! apply.interfolio.com/174756

Seeing a lot of celebration of this as a win. But at NIH we have seen this exact play before. It looks like it is the Vought strategy -and to stop the lawless firings we have to see the bigger picture. A 🧵:

Bloomberg research found wholesale electricity up ~270% in areas near data centers It doesn't seem like nearly enough people are taking it seriously One A.I. image isn't too much energy, but 5 million videos? Per day/hour/minute whatever. It's not sustainable www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

Jane Goodall offers sage advice for the rest of us. #3E

Two years ago, research established increased risk of new onset dementia in people over 65. Now, they find that it's people over 50 at increased risk. What's next, 35 year olds? No reason to believe otherwise. Wear a respirator to protect your brain.

Jesus according to MAGA: "For I was hungry and I ate your lunch, I was thirsty and I drank your milkshake, I was a stranger who pulled up the ladder behind me... Truly I tell you, oppressing the least of those illegal aliens and especially Democrats, you did for me. Verily, $#&% those people".

Each day we perform our neurophysiology recording experiments, we gather together late in the day to scroll through raster plots. Everyone pauses from what they’re doing to join. It always feels a bit like we’re opening 🎁. One of my favorite aspects of our work! 😍 #spikes

I wish I could join Jonathan’s lab now!

Jonathan is honestly one of the best most talented junior PIs out there and joining his lab is essentially future proofing your career

Federal workers are speaking out on how the Trump regime is harming Americans: "We stand here today at a moment of the greatest assault of our lifetimes on our freedoms. The US Constitution is being shredded... We are here to call on Congress to stand up and stop it." youtu.be/uw1KwIBgrCw?...

Awesome dataset. I’ve dreamed to collect this type of data previously!

“I’m not getting less, I’m getting more long COVID referrals,” Faux said at the time. “I’m still seeing people from other states in my rooms because they don’t have access to long COVID clinics.” #LongCOVID

www.sciencealert.com/mans-covid-i... An immunocompromised man endured 750 days of illness with a COVID infection and was hospitalised 5 times. We urgently need to protect the vulnerable. 13 million aren’t vaccinated in the UK who are clinically vulnerable. Why not? France has vaccines for everyone

Not only is "immunity debt" a harmful pseudoscience, but encouraging COVID infections to "avoid immunity debt" may damage the immune system further. Those with multiple COVID infections more susceptible to bacterial infections. www.bmj.com/content/390/...

My husband had a mild case of Covid, following which he has spent almost 4 years mostly flat on his back. This advice fills me with rage & horror.

Stoked to see this paper finally out! It answers two big questions: where visual objects are encoded in the brain, and how head-direction cells get oriented using visual landmarks. Super fun collaboration with @mace-lab.bsky.social and Stuart Trenholm. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I wrote about what I think is a genuinely revealing document of elite depravity and impunity. It is shocking and sickening. But it's also a crucial moment. We're about to see what happens when conspiracy theorists actually get what they asked for but it turns out not to be what they want.

So... I did some analysis of grants that did receive noncompetitive renewals. In particular, I looked a those award where the title of the grant changed. Warning: The results are just what I expected, but oooph... 1/4

🧪An excellent article about what we’re losing in science and education in America and why it is mission critical that we fight for it: “Why on earth would we abandon institutions that have genuinely made America great?” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/o...

excellent. MORE OF THIS.

The gaslighting on the signature is maybe their most embarrassing thing yet. Just an absolute disregard for the truth, or dignity. @reptimburchett

As a guy who got a cancer that was probably caused by a virus, I think we should have /more/ vaccines.

Yeah it's great that we're eradicating practices that devalue and demean the Christian faith, that's why my wife can't get a federal grant for the church where she's a pastor without signing a statement that she'll help the cops arrest immigrants and homeless people

When reporting on these kinds of claims, the media should ask:
