We shared research about things affecting us all: addiction, autism, brain injury, dementia, mental illness. This work has been arbitrarily cut or delayed. Thats a human brain on cafeteria tray. UCLA fair shows off science cuts. @sfn.org @standupforscience.bsky.social www.latimes.com/california/s...

Nehru's India: A History in Seven Myths is now out in paperback and it has an evocative new cover! To me, it brings to mind some of René Magritte's paintings from the 1950s and 60s. Thanks to Princeton University Press for the new design.

Something to celebrate! A push for on-demand gene-editing cures for children with severe genetic diseases, supported by @cziscience.bsky.social. What warms my heart: family advocates inspired this, and individuals who had the power to do so made it happen. chanzuckerberg.com/newsroom/cen...

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH
