(1/10) We’re excited to share our new preprint (doi.org/10.1101/2025...), which uncovers the spatiomolecular landscape of the human nucleus accumbens (NAc), by integrating snRNA-seq with Visium spatial transcriptomics across 10 control donors. 🧠 #NAcLIBD #snRNAseq #10xVisium

This! NIH staff are doing heroic work to help save the scientific enterprise. If you are a PI, drop them an email and say thank you! I did last week!

Science is under siege from weaponised disinformation – posing a threat to human civilisation | Michael Mann and Peter Hotez

Trump & Vought are hijacking our government - stealing funds appropriated by Congress, throwing sand in the gears, ending programs Americans rely on. I see this first hand.

My Long Covid “brain fog” presents as a TBI & I agree with being…. “unprepared for the resentment toward me and the doubt in my diagnosis from my IQ measuring higher than average (although much lower than pre-injury) & for the slow devolution of respect in my knowledge and reasoning skills.”

It has often been suggested that psychotherapy works because patients expect it will work before they have even started treatment. But what if treatment expectations are an emergent phenomenon that develops in the course of psychotherapy and contributes to a successful outcome?

Just heard from someone who had a 1% grant not funded through NIMH. Why? Perhaps no payline for 2026? 2025 all full up? Unclear. But totally bonkers and indicative of the complete gutting of the NIH/NIMH senior and grants processing peeps. The ones who remain are working so hard.

I care for children in the hospital on inpatient & consult services. Most weeks there are at least a few kids admitted with vaccine preventable diseases. Often in children who can’t get vaccinated themselves. 15 years in pediatrics and I’ve never seen a single one admitted with vaccine injury.

@nature.com I love this article - but WHY are the only share options to X and Facebook when the whole point of the article is that science-based posts get more shares here? www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Good.

Was rummaging through old articles and found this one of Demetre Daskalakis. Apparently, back in 2013, he went to New York City's gay sex clubs and bathhouses and administered meningitis vaccines and helped beat an outbreak.

Can anyone recommend a real academic expert on left-wing extremism, terrorism (like eco-fascism), or left-wing authoritarian movements? Many seem to be partisans posing as researchers, rather than genuine researchers with partisan views.

BREAKING: BlueSky is blocking access to Mississippi. This is the No. 1 platform for @mississippifreepress.org. We ditched X for BlueSky early this year. And now, at 3 pm on a Friday, poof. I don't know what we'll do next. Keep up with us using our newsletter at mfp.ms/subscribe.

We still don’t know if microdosing psychedelics is effective or a placebo, but is it safe? Could microdosing activate cardiac 5HT2B receptors and cause valvulopathy? New work online at pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1... from @deffinger.bsky.social suggests that - at least in mice - the answer is no. 1/

Thomas Deininger uses plastic waste to create sculptures,or should I say,works of Genius!!!!!!

A good piece in @theatlantic.com by Rogé Karma, which offers another sharp critique of Macedo and Lee's "In Covid's Wake," which just recycles the greatest hits of COVID contrarianism. Because they're Princeton professors, it's gotten a lot of attention, but Rogé Karma takes it apart step by step.

Now out in @natneuro.nature.com What happens to the brain’s body map when a body-part is removed? Scanning patients before and up to 5 yrs after arm amputation, we discovered the brain’s body map is strikingly preserved despite amputation www.nature.com/articles/s41593-025-02037-7 🧵1/18

Really delighted to announce that our paper is now out! We fMRI scanned patients both before amputation and after - allowing us to make direct comparisons. We found that the cortical maps are extremely stable, almost unchanged - even 5 years after amputation!

The extent to which the studio fucked us over was utter, but Robert was the one whose career suffered hideously, unjustly. I would be invited to write more screenplays, which I did, my heart aching for him. So glad he’s back. Admire him hugely.
