A large number of Congressional lawmakers are not running for reelection in 2026. The number currently stands at 10 senators and 27 House members- more GOP (27) than Democrats (10). Don't vote for ANY Republicans to replace them. That's how we solve this nightmare. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Had a blast writing this insight article with @sydneytrask.bsky.social covering original research from the @michaeldrew.bsky.social lab on the stress-specific recruitment of a brain region that drives fear behaviors! doi.org/10.7554/eLif...

Our (highly anticipated) non-competitive renewal is still stuck in the unlucky 22% of grants hanging in the purgatory state

The reckless destruction of medical research by the Trump Administration will haunt our country for years.

When murderous fascists wave the US flag, something has gone wrong.

If the Supreme Court rules for the Trump administration in this case, biomedical research is finished in this country.
