👏👏👏

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Can you imagine having 130 million to give 😵‍💫

I am a son of immigrants. This is a country of immigrants. Our future is cohesion, not division.

Woah

So cool!

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you. Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide. So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Hello, I am interested in getting into animal tracking and pose estimation (etc...). Does anyone who is regularly doing this have any camera recommendations? Thanks a bunch!

Im sad because our country is sick

It’s postdoc appreciation week and a recent study found postdoc depression & anxiety rates are rising. Why? - underpaid - underutilized - overworked - unappreciated - lack of funding - competitive atmosphere Postdocs are seen as “trainees” as a way to exploit cheap labor, despite expertise.

It's nice when an eperiment fails in an insightful way

:(

All the time

Being an academic right now feels like riding in a car that has the check engine and low fuel light on, and you know you there isn't a gas station for at least the next three years. How long before it stalls in the middle of the rode? How long before you get off? How long before we all get off.

came across an email i sent a friend 2 years ago: "anytime i break form, i find there’s almost zero tolerance for anything different/innovative. i trust the audience enough that they’ll see what i’m trying to do, but the editors do not." cheers to breaking form and making shit happen your own way.

Had several great discussions at my poster #GRCPsychedelics Looking forward to building future collaborations :)

Does anybody have a PDF of a Kandel principles of neuro book? 4th or 5th edition would be great, DM me

I hope it rains hard in DC today. I hope it’s cold too.

Switching from VC to I=0 before going to IC solved all my problems

ooooff 😮‍💨😍👌

Join the Shulgin Foundation & SSDP to kick off a new collaborative educational webinar series that showcases the Shulgin Foundation’s scientific expertise alongside SSDP’s policy advocacy. 💊🔬🧪⚖️ I’m honored to sit alongside Hamilton Morris & Robert Rush for this incredible panel discussion! 🤩

Same same same! My science has never been more fruitful as I watch my future vanish before my eyes haha

So proud of @josueregalado96.bsky.social for being awarded the prestigious Helen Hay Whitney Fellowship!!!! 🤩✨️ hhwf.org/current-fell...

Need some ephyz advice so please repost: I am using a multiclamp 700b and clampex. I keep having an issue where my cells die after I transition from the membrane test in clampex to current clamp in the multiclamp commander. Does anyone have any recommendations for making this transition.

Again, I say, lying should have consequences. Especially if you are elected to public office or are a cabinet official.

It must be nice to have the resources to just abandon ship… lol

Everyone keeps saying that they can't say what they hope happens to the ICE agents who are doing this but I can - they're clearly engaged in gross violations of the law and I want every Democratic candidate from here to infinity to pledge to help prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law

I’ve taught my dogs to play hide n seek with me. They only seek, but they love it. They also go wild when they find me 🤣

Trying to patch for the first time in ~5 years. So far I have smashed two pipettes into the bath chamber and slurped up a cell into a third pipette 🤣

The most useful tool in science: www.graphpad.com/quickcalcs/m... haha

Im fortunate to have a laundry list of low-hanging fruit experiments that I need to do. I can imagine having to be creative at this time. I’ve found it very difficult to think deeply with all the chaos. I know that’s what they want

I wonder if people realize that Trump and his allies have broken so many laws that they can’t afford to cede power. Not sure in what form it will come, but we haven’t seen the worst yet. I think there will be a larger reckoning.

When the topic is women the conflict is that women are failing society. When the topic is men it's that society is failing them.

Facts

The irony to all of this is, my scientific pursuit has never been as fruitful as it has been this year. I feel like I'm experiencing a wild cognitive dissonance between succeeding in lab while scientific-research enterprise in the US is destroyed around me.

It's truly tragic. I used to reflect on where I would job hunt in the next year and whether or not I'd be looking for a house (finally) in two years. Now, I wonder if I will be employed and if there is a place for people like me in this country's future.

The average american has 3 friends...

I think it’s time for us to withhold our labor as a country. We should not continue to operate as if it’s business as usual

Gonna keep saying this because the situation hasn’t changed: Academic leaders — your leadership matters. Your strength. Your resilience. Your calm under duress. We trainees feel this. It inspires & motivates us to keep going. We appreciate the face you bring to lab each day. Please don’t give up.

Im ready for some CISR swag

A positive vision for how to move forward, CA cannot replace the national investment needed to remain the global leader in science and technology but maybe we can help keep the US competitive. sd11.senate.ca.gov/news/trump-g...

This was a great read. My favorite part was about being direct with mentees. Learning to receive constructive criticism is important, being told you’re doing some wrong is important, and being told you need to go in a different direction is important. And sometimes, it just needs to be said.

Im happy for Canada :)

Get wrecked 🤣

Two things can be true: President Biden’s economy looked good on paper, yet working class people struggled AND President Trump’s economy is getting worse and working class people are starting to struggle even more. The ruling class wants us to argue about who is better.

You have to wonder what Mark Carney's other two wishes were after rubbing that bottle

The only way forward.
