Imagine being the kind of person with the chutzpah to "explain" to Margaret Atwood what Margaret Atwood meant in The Handmaid's Tale

In September 1919, Escher moved to Haarlem to study architecture. His landlady in Haarlem gifted Escher a white cat, who stayed his pet and companion during his student years. Escher lovingly portrayed his cat in several wood cuts. Etches of a white cat by M.C. Escher

Super excited to share the first cooperative foraging paradigm in freely interacting mouse pairs! Stable leader and follower roles emerge spontaneously and predict learning. Well-trained mice show stereotyped, role-specific “behavioral motifs” absent in naive animals (1/5) doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Pleased to share our lab's latest research article led by Melissa Salazar, a new PhD student in my lab🤓🐀. We followed up on Oak 2024 and found sex-specific effects of early life scarcity-adversity on adolescent behavioral responses to natural rewards (sucrose- f, play-m). #SABV t.co/biPSE9u9Le

How do immune cells shape the adolescent brain? #URochesteresearch found that microglia strengthen dopamine circuits in the frontal cortex, a region tied to decision-making and mental health @urochestersmd.bsky.social

Delighted to be among the ERC Starting Grant awardees for 2025 !!! This grant will investigate how adolescent exploration or risk-taking shapes brain development and behavioral outcomes. More info coming soon ! #ERCStG 🇪🇺

few outcomes, except for 99% of FDA-approved drugs, 174 recipients of 104 Nobel Prizes, training ~30K MDs and ~10K PhDs per year to enter the workforce, and a 34% reduction in age-adjusted cancer deaths since 1990 -- the largest decrease in history

Finally made the jump to BlueSky 🦋👋 (only took me 2 years! 😅). Still figuring out how this works. Help a neuroscientist find her tribe? 🧠✨ #academicsky #neuroscience #womeninstem

Largest genetic study of cocaine self-administration The results replicate previous loci associated with human cocaine use disorder and provide novel biological insights, including the potential of pharmacological treatment strategies targeting carboxylesterases www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

1/10 Our latest research, led by Monika Moissidis, identifies a mechanism regulating the maturation of PV interneurons in the #cortex. This is the story @cellcellpress.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... ⬇︎ thread @devneuro.bsky.social @kingsioppn.bsky.social @wellcometrust.bsky.social

Paper in Nature 150 years ago. Beats reading any single-cell experiment…

How does the human brain coordinate hierarchical cortical development? Our work in Nature Neuroscience identifies a role for thalamocortical structural connectivity in the expression of hierarchical periods of cortical plasticity & environmental receptivity in youth 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Nicotine doesn’t just “turn on” the brain’s reward circuits — it reshapes them. Our new paper in Nature Communications shows that activating reward-linked dopamine neurons also sets off a feedback loop that drives negative emotional states. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Very nice and detailed review in @npp-journal.bsky.social on "Prefrontal cortex development and its implications in mental illness" from Laura DeNardo and colleagues. rdcu.be/euCIP

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

i often see things that make me say "this is the most Boston thing I have ever seen in my life" but i think this one might have swept them all

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

A special Bluetorial about one of my mentors Ruth Kirschstein Among Ruth Kirschstein’s many contributions to American science was the development and expansion of programs intended to increase participation of people from groups underrepresented in biomedical research.

ah yes, from the popular 6th verse of la marseillaise. thanks ny times.
