Donald Trump's attack on science is turning back the clock on research that saves lives and powers our economy in Massachusetts and beyond. Not on my watch. I'm pressing Trump's health leaders for answers now.

Can’t make this up.

You first.

🥁 Elisa Toscano idenitified a new subtype of propriospinal neurons and found a role in the execution of skilled movements🤸‍♂️. Great job from Elisa and everybody involved 💪. @alesantuz.bsky.social, @lowensteined.bsky.social. Check it out and let us know what you think: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

My editorial on the indirect cuts. This is an opportunity for campuses to come together to make the case for higher education. Leaders need to step up and ask for support and lead. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Gene editing technology began by people studying salt marshes. Ozempic began by folks studying the venom of Gila Monsters. Support for basic science has empowered us to understand our world. Tethering it to applications health has transformed and saved countless lives.

A remembrance of developmental neuroscientist Lynn Landmesser www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Nice to see at RFK Jr hearing, hope he agrees!

Big paper from @paigel.bsky.social in our lab: Sensory feedback is always crucial for proper development, right? Wrong! Crazier still, the motor system is the slowest part of a developing reflex circuit! Surprises abound in this bluetorial c’mon along…. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 1/19

Office door decoration from the lab. Hoxc9 in hot pink as it should be.

I am saddened by the passing of Lynn Landmesser, a pioneer in neural development and cornerstone of our department. When I arrived, she was still teaching students to fabricate electrodes and dazzling junior faculty with stories about the history of the field. She will be missed.
