Vivek Ramaswamy’s face: “oh man give me that sweet sweet copium”

The family says they came to the wrong house on a "tip", demanded to see ID, shot the dog for whatever reason, and bolted, leaving the family as they struggled to save their dogs life. This is inexcusable, but their boss is a known dog murderer. A fish rots from the head. kfoxtv.com/news/local/e...

This article is some of the worst "both sides" trash I have ever seen. It's written to hide the ball from the reader - just have a look at this graph. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

C’mon bro. It’s not exactly subtle. It doesn’t even require a rudimentary grasp of irony, just 4th grade level reading comprehension.

This is astonishingly disrespectful and a colossal waste of resources. This building was purpose built for NSF and completed only in 2016. www.scientificamerican.com/article/trum...

Does anyone know anything about what is going on at NIDCD?Council met almost a month ago and I have a top scored grant just waiting to be funded. The whole institute has only issued 6 NOAs since then. I have no information about my grant.

Having an argument right now with @alisa-shea.bsky.social about whether Arcade Fire has “always been like this.”

If you call yourself a scientist but willingly admit to being unable to evaluate a preprint (something I teach my undergrads to do) then you need to stop calling yourself a scientist.

Who are these people? This is unacceptable. “We’re the police” OK sure

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying. They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks. From WCVB: youtu.be/PuFIs7OkzYY

the speed at which these guys have broken everything has given a lot of folks who should know better the impression that they are an unstoppable force and the only option is to negotiate the terms of surrender just because the clown car goes very fast does not mean it isn’t full of clowns

"Cock the hammer it's time for Ash-TON" Glad to have you aboard! @drkingothebeach.bsky.social

So I have extended the deadline by an hour since certain GenX PIs who struggled to log in the first time didn't understand that they were supposed to vote 👀 app.musicleague.com/l/8093706cca...

@michaelhendricks.bsky.social @nanopharmnc.bsky.social @mattsmear.bsky.social @evolbrain.bsky.social a gentle reminder you have less than 25 minutes to get your votes in

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Our playlist from round 1 of Music League (“Up-leveled covers”) is finished, and it’s awesome! Can you guess which song was my pick? open.spotify.com/playlist/2By...

Only 4 spots left in this league. If you want to jump in, now is the time.

Everything sucks. Let’s carve out a little space for something that doesn’t. Music League is an app for making collaborative themed playlists. Looking forward to hearing the music that inspires you in times of rage, anxiety, and heartbreak. app.musicleague.com/l/8093706cca... Please RT

Martin Chalfie delivered a really inspiring speech at #SUFS NYC yesterday, but when he ended with a reference to circa 1960 Greenwich Village folk group The Weavers, suddenly I understood how I sound to my students when I make allusions to Devo or Big Trouble in Little China.

The year is 2042. Just as I am sitting down in my easy chair, all of my grandchildren rush to my side. They are all sitting before me looking up with dewy-eyes, their chins resting on their fists, and they ask me: "Grandpa, tell us what dignity was like."

Demented and sickening.

Courtesy of Chat GPT, I present to you... the GigaClown:

This is getting serious folks. It is becoming increasingly clear that the traditional clown - even three of them in a row - is insufficient to describe what we are dealing with. We require a new GigaClown emoji. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

Absolute weapons-grade incompetence 🤡🤡🤡

I think it's time for a gritty reboot of Smokey and the Bandit in which @michaelhendricks.bsky.social and I drive a truck full of illegal Cheezies over the Canadian border.

Sobering warning from @tonyzador.bsky.social in his talk this morning regarding.Roko’s Paperclip.

My new water bottle. Boba Fett edition.

Reviewing grad school applications, and I have to say, some of you are coming with some sick CV font game.

Car-sized drones hovering over New Jersey for the past few weeks, and nobody knows who is behind it? This is fine. www.cnn.com/2024/12/12/u...

Really? Again with the clozapine nonsense? WTAF!?!

Anticipate imminent summary statement release. Bracing for impact.

The latest paper from the Shea Lab is out today online. Here @anowlan.bsky.social shows that responses to sound in the auditory cortex merge with olfactory information via the basal amygdala. This is likely an important pathway for maternal behavior www.cell.com/current-biol...

You all may recall a post I wrote last week explaining how many times the BSDneuro tweets would write themselves

When I was in graduate school, probably my second year or so, my *program* *chair* approached me in the hallway and asked: “You aren’t still studying that bird song shit are you, Steve?” Neuroscience has come along way.

Where is the checkbox for "absolute metaphysical certitude?"

A heads up as this site grows: some accounts may not be who they appear. Even among other scientists. Don’t let down your guard when following someone back.

Not today, Satan.

Hey, senior grad student! I see you there, trying to hide. You're probably thinking: "That @CSHL symposium sounds cool, but I'll never be invited because my research is lame" Wrong! Tell your impostor syndrome to take a seat and apply now! Deadline extended to Dec. 15 cshl.edu/research/pos...

You would be surprised how many of Bob’s tweets were just transcriptions of things we heard or actual events. I almost fell out of my chair when I read a paper that unironically used the equivalent of Bob’s marble burying HMM.

After years of complaining from me and every other PI I know about how difficult most schools made it to submit rec letters to graduate programs (every school makes a separate account, uses different forms, etc) I feel like we’ve turned the corner and they figured it out.

We were actually "unknown" for it, but for years @neuroshea.bsky.social and I ran the bsdneuro account, which now rests in a grave befitting Bob (and his cortex).

Fffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...
