I got to chat about my career path and how what started as a means to earn a paycheck turned into a personal mission to use my background in science to improve access to neuroscience research education. genomicpress.kglmeridian.com/view/journal...

An inexcusable waste of taxpayer dollars.

ACOG has withdrawn as a liaison organization from CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, citing concerns about recent changes that undermine the committee’s scientific integrity and evidence-based approach to vaccine policy. Read the press release: https://buff.ly/gKx1qor

@achrisman.bsky.social and I had a fun time on Brainpod www.nature.com/npp/podcast talking about Audrey's new paper looking at distinct populations of oxytocin neurons in the PVN with AJ Robison, Andrew Eagle and Chiho Sugimoto www.nature.com/articles/s41...

BREAKING Former ICE agent: On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

Sen. Mike Lee isn't “based.” He’s actually just dumb.

Congrats to @pact-lab.bsky.social postdoc @ryanntansey.bsky.social on her recent paper looking at the impact of elevated anandamide via FAAH inhibition on brain function in patients with PTSD What does it do? Well....not much 😬 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The worst figures on campus arguing that campuses had become overrun with wokeness were all best buddies with Epstein. Quelle surprise. www.salon.com/2026/02/19/j...

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right. Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement. This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.

I’m being told that I have to come up with $25,000 in tariff fees for a needed scientific instrument. When will we get to dump these stupid tariffs?

New paper from lab on how VTA dopamine neurons + GABA inhibition contribute to punishment learning. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The IRS is being gutted under Trump — which is great news for any rich tax cheats who want to dodge what they owe. And instead of fixing this, Trump is of course suing the agency for $10 billion dollars — which will come out of the taxpayers pocket. The grift never ends.

Spain's Deputy Prime Minister Yolanda Díaz: “I have left X. That network is a place of hate. “We are not vassals of Elon Musk or Trump.”

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Today President Epstein kicked off Black History Month by sharing a racist AI video of Barack and Michelle Obama. It's not funny. He's a racist fascist pedophile who mocks murder victims and anyone who still supports him is pure evil.

Not that it would be okay to do this to an undocumented immigrant either but THIS GUY IS A LEGAL IMMIGRANT and also his lawyer hand delivered his medication and they REFUSED TO GIVE IT TO HIM. Enraging! How do ANY of these people live with themselves?

Seems 💯 accurate.

Absolutely packed house for the ICE out training in East Kensington tonight, put on by @riverwardsdems.bsky.social. I’ll share out things I learn here.

I am proud to be part of a country that includes the brave citizens of Minneapolis.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. 2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor. 3) Donors make a huge profit. 4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

Elon Musk's net worth just hit $800 billion. How? One of his corporations acquired another one of his corporations. Meanwhile, Elon's companies pay next to nothing in federal income taxes and get billions of dollars in government contracts. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Trump’s fundraisers are now using the threat of dispatching ICE against citizens as an email engagement tactic.

Sanctuary policies are legal. The Supreme Court has been clear for decades that the federal government cannot commandeer state or local governments to enforce federal immigration law. This isn’t “playing with fire.” It’s constitutional law.

Wow. This is devastating. www.science.org/content/arti...

I’m excited to be an associate member of @acnporg.bsky.social Looking forward to coming to the ACNP meeting regularly! #ACNP2026

My daughter's school in Richfield, MN (adjacent to Minneapolis) is closing tomorrow due of out-of-control federal agents. Fourth graders spent the week building walls of snow at recess to protect their classmates from ICE. This isn't about immigration enforcement, it's about terror.

The University of Arkansas's law school just withdrew the appointment of its new dean six days after hiring her because conservative politicians complained that she filed an amicus brief to the Supreme Court in support of transgender students

Thrilled to share that I was promoted to Full Member! 🎉 🙌Grateful for the incredible mentorship, support, and community that made this milestone possible. Thanks to everyone who believed in me, including Tony Grace + @jaredwyoung.bsky.social for their letters, and to @acnporg.bsky.social 🙏 #ACNP2026

One of my favorite sessions of the conference. This conversation is critical for all researchers, and the Wellcome Initiative is VERY appropriately named!

Hope all can come to Imperial Ballroom B so you can learn how to unlock clinical mechanisms thru the us of animal models starting in 5!

Yay!!! 🎉 Congratulations to our new Associate members of @acnporg.bsky.social #ACNP2026!!!!!

Congrats to the new @acnporg.bsky.social Fellows! #ACNP2026
