Valentine's Day? Family Day long weekend? Ah, you mean "the Barkley Marathons has started"! #bm100

Don't miss @paulsheppard.bsky.social's visually innovative poem "a n y w a y (s)" in Issue 32! Excerpting doesn't do it justice; just click through to the poem: www.thetemzreview.com/sheppard-32....

It's tragic, but I forgot to post this Good Meme when the touchscreen cognitive judgement bias paper came out. (paper link for context: www.nature.com/articles/s41...)

I ran my first ultra distance race today, an intense and technical 56km @limberlosttrailrun.bsky.social . It was HOT and I learned a lot of things that I'll do differently next time, but it was some great Type 2 Fun!

Today I ran just shy of a marathon during a race called The Farthest put on by Persistence Racing. Everyone started from the same point and ran in whatever direction they wanted to get the farthest as the crow flies within 2, 4, or 8h. I did the 4h "Half-Farthest".

From canceled faculty hiring searches to this in <6 months... 👀

In case you were wondering (you 100% weren't): the mouse in the graphical abstract is "greyer mouse" because "grey mouse" just wasn't grey enough for certain co-authors who will go unnamed...

Happy to share the current version of our latest story, currently under peer review. Cool collab with @dablab.bsky.social @manickam-lab.bsky.social and others. We are not only understanding endothelial deficits in an #autism model, but now also capable of rescuing them! #16p11.2 #treatment #P2Y2

“Want a chair?” a spectator asks. “No..chairs are for finishers,” John replies. In the howling wind and rain, John Kelly completes a “Fun Run” at the 2025 Barkley Marathons in 39 hours and 50 minutes. Afterward, he takes the ceremonial bugle and plays his own taps.

I escaped poverty because I am a scientist. And I am a scientist because of the National Science Foundation. A 🧵:

i was looking for a job, and then i found a job, and heaven knows i'm miserable now

A friend of mine asked for the source of the protein in his "CORE POWER" protein shake, so I looked. It's milk. Ultra filtered milk. I am deeply amused that companies are selling dudes "protein shakes" that are just like "chocolate milk but let's make it for MEN"

📜 It's in the pipeline, but we've put up this @tcnlab.bsky.social paper, led by first-author-superstars Leila Dzinic and Olivia Ghosh-Swaby, as a preprint so folks can start using this technique for their #TouchscreenCognition research! www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-5...
