The sweeping new regulations proposed by OMB would subject *every federal research funding decision* to political review. Peer review has never been formally binding, but this proposal would drastically expand the power of political appointees to *override* expert assessments of scientific merit 1/4

We’re working on an episode about the psychedelic ibogaine. It's illegal in the U.S., but it has shown promise for treating traumatic brain injuries, addiction, and other conditions. Have you used ibogaine before? What was it like? Where did you first learn about it? What made you want to try it?

Has this kind of hyperfocus on "critique" always been a feature of American/progressive activism? Or is it new? It feels very academia-brained, like the best possible thing you can do is find new and creative ways to articulate "critiques" of how things are actually problematic.

Sure! Lab-raised juvenile rats quickly learn how to hunt crickets and this causes slow, but persistent increased plasticity in binocular visual cortex (V1b): in both firing rates & connections (spine density). So learning drives V1b increases in V1b activity & may be a site of skill consolidation
