The Rocky Mountain Labs does some incredibly important research.

A genuinely moving act of democratic representation. Chris Van Hollen showed up for his constituent. This is how you make the positive case for democracy. Chuck Schumer looks more incapable every day.

We have been working hard behind the scenes, y'all. Get your signs ready!

Hi hello good morning. This is fascism. Nazi Germany did this to support their messaging of a superior Aryan race. Hope this helps!

My speech for the Philly #StandUpForScience Protest. Everything I do is for my community 💜✨

I can confirm that this is the worst timeline.

HEY BOSTON! 📣☀️ MARCH 7TH, MASSACHUSETTS STATE CAPITOL! Join us to #standupforscience2025 and make your voice heard! SEE YOU THERE! www.standupforscience2025.org #standupforscience20225

Stand up for science in Boston, March 7, 2025, 12-4pm

I’m on the market! 🎉 What do I do? -I develop research questions and applied biotechnology to understand and disrupt insect symbioses. -I coordinate international teams to tackle interdisciplinary global challenges. -I train mycologists, entomologists and insect pathologists.

Sharing our most recent paper, in which we find that electrical synapses in C. elegans drive action selection by "filtering" sensory information. C. elegans can learn temp, move across the temp. gradient and then track that temp. How? Configuration electrical synapses www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... 1/

It is noon. I am tired.

In our paper @currentbiology.bsky.social we uncover the tactile & afferent mechanisms of the rat pup transport response. Teamwork ✋ Zheyi, Connor, Arturo, Marta, Yu, Michael @sidb-edinburgh.bsky.social @edinunineuro.bsky.social @mblscience.bsky.social Read the dispatch too! tinyurl.com/4ez3k9uw

Is there a Fiji plugin that will both stitch tiles and stack the results…?

There should be more mushroom-themed dishes at Thanksgiving.

Brought the girls to my parent’s house for the holiday. Cautiously exploring their new kingdom.

My southern-born cat Amity, adjusting to the Boston weather.

Walking around my house, looking at my phone muttering “don’t love that” over and over

Gaetz news reminds me: where’d we end up on the Nestor story?

His cabinet picks are actually bonkers.

Obligatory "I should start using this again huh" post before I immediately forget and disappear for several months and return, only to make the same exact post

Reinstalled this app.

The sous vide may be my favorite kitchen device.

One last paper for 2023, officially out in Hormones and Behavior! We tested the hypothesis that thyroid hormones are a missing molecular link between experience of early life stress and downstream transcriptional changes in VTA doi.org/10.1016/j.yh...

I feel a fool whenever I type out "ventrolateral, ventromedial hypothalamus". Who named it that? It lacks panache. Zona incerta has all the fun. #neuroskyence

I've seen kindergartens with stricter ethics codes.

I’ve been getting a bunch of follows from bots (?) recently on the platform….

If you are in #SfN23, please check out our graduate student Kaelan's poster Wed morning: "PSTR456.14 / D21 - Arc mediates a novel form of intercellular long-term depression" Wed 15 8:00 - 12:00 Abstract: www.abstractsonline.com/pp8/#!/10892... Have a chance to speak to Kaelan, he is fantastic!

Excited to be attending #SfN2023 this year! If you're interested in hearing about how the spiny mice vary their behavioral and neural response across conspecific types, come to my nanosymposium presentation on Sunday afternoon!

Come check out my work tmrw at SfN! I develop new methods for unsupervised behavior identification, simultaneous imaging of 11 hormone-sensitive brain regions to study how gonadal hormones impact self-initiated social behaviors, network level encoding of behavior, and neural gene transcription 🧪

Looking forward to attending SFN once again!

What are these “candidates” even talking about????

Ramaswamy is absolutely out of control this debate. They’re all terrible, but he has been AWFUL.

It is Election Day.

Let’s talk about Leonard Leo.

Amity is learning from her big sister how to pose.

It is the best day of the year. Happy Friday the 13th!

Sometimes when I put on cat tv for my cats, it feels like I’m equally invested in watching the birds.

excited to announce the latest work in spiny mice from the kelly lab: biased brain and behavioral responses towards kin in males of a communally breeding species out now in scientific reports! doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Aerith loves Autumn.

Had to bring my car back to the mechanic so they can fix the “repair” they did Friday. I’m loving all this time spent wandering around a random neighborhood.

Do you guys ever think about how having SCOTUS Justices who think they’re above the law — and a congress that won’t do anything about it, like by passing SCOTUS ethics reforms — is bad for a constitutional democracy?

The thing about surgery days I don’t love is that I run through my daily podcasts way too fast. #neuroscience
