Hi @reformuk.bsky.social when are you going to do something about Reform UK Cornwall and their disgusting Facebook account?

Something we've been meaning to do for years - documenting horse facial expressions during social interactions using EquiFACS. Well done @kate-lewis.bsky.social! And thanks for the netFACS support @jmicheletta.bsky.social 🐴 @parkerlab.bsky.social

Just out in Lab Animal: our new global multi-lab zebrafish study is live! Housing and husbandry variables can significantly alter zebrafish anxiety-like behaviour. This is a call for better reporting and #standardisation in #zebrafish research. @uniofsurrey.bsky.social Open access: rdcu.be/enHLj

Why didn't 341 MPs sign a letter urging Keir Starmer to create new opportunities for young British people to work and travel in Europe? Do the Greens pose a danger to Labour from the left? This and other questions answered in this week's political diary ⤵️

This weeks cover from @theneweuropean.bsky.social was spot on as always

PhDs and postdocs are in limbo while universities across the US scale back admissions and new hires while they assess the financial impact of proposed federal funding cuts. #HigherEd #AcademicSky #EduSky

He nails it.

Our latest new study shows that stimulant & non-stimulant #ADHD meds affect lipid & amino acid metabolism in similar ways—challenging the idea that they work differently! Even amlodipine mimics their effects, further supporting it's potential 🔗 authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S... #zebrafish

Our new study found amlodipine reduces hyperactivity in ADHD-model #zebrafish & rats and is supported by genetic evidence linking #ADHD to its target pathways. Could L-type calcium channels hold the key to non-stimulant ADHD treatments? www.surrey.ac.uk/news/blood-p....

I hear this has generated some fury on X, so would be pleased if people could keep sharing as it is an attempt to be clear about the free speech implications of my open letter.

Check out our new #ADHD paper. Amlodipine reduces hyperactivity & impulsivity in #zebrafish & rats, crosses the blood-brain barrier, and alters neural activity. Human genetic data links ADHD to Ca+ targeted by amlodipine, with UK Biobank evidence supporting its potential benefits. rdcu.be/d9TtB

I am recruiting an #ERC funded PostDoc to work on the evolution of vertebral counts in cichlids. This is an experimental project & will be looking for candidates with experience generating reporter lines, live-imaging and experimental embryology. Application deadline: 25th Feb. tinyurl.com/33jbu8fa

I am excited to share our latest paper @Nature where we construct a hi-res spatial map of the human hypothalamus, the brain region central in appetite control. It is a collaboration between @IMS_MRL @Cambridge_Uni & @MPI_Metabolism www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I voted to reject RFK Jr.'s nomination to HHS. I cannot in good conscience support someone who denies and will dilute our public health protections, sow distrust in science, and oversee massive cuts to health care programs for vulnerable Americans.

New blogpost: gobbledegook papers as canaries in the coalmine- and more bad news for MDPI deevybee.blogspot.com/2025/01/toma...

Elizabeth Warren has questions for RFK Jr — 175 of them. On vaccines. On abortion. On his theories, like suggesting covid was "ethnically targeted." "I ask that you review these questions and arrive prepared to answer them," @warren.senate.gov writes in letter to Kennedy and shared with The Post.

🔥 🔥 Fantastic - the ball is really rolling now on pressure for a youth mobility scheme with the EU. If you haven't yet written to your MP to attend the debate on it this afternoon... please send that email now via this easy link --> action.stayeuropean.org/campaigns/yo...

💥 It passes!! 💥 The Youth Mobility (EU Countries) Bill has just passed its first reading. No opposition voiced by the govt. your thousands of emails stopped them shutting it down. Well done @jamesmaccleary.bsky.social on a superb speech. 👏👏👏

💥 YES! The Youth Mobility Scheme (EU Countries) Bill is looking like it will go through without government opposition today. That’s because of YOU! You have all flooded the zone with 8-10,000 emails to your MPs on this. Keep them coming. And do follow-ups too.

More than 15,000 doctors across the country signed an open letter urging senators to reject the nomination of RFK Jr. for HHS: “RFK Jr. has a well-documented history of spreading dangerous disinformation...His appointment is a direct threat to the safety of our patients and the public at large"

Fantastic to see the UK’s first drug consumption room finally open its doors in Glasgow. Congratulations to all those who made this happen. As the experience from more than 200 drug consumption rooms around the world shows, The Thistle will save many lives: www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Formalizing a forensic metascientific approach - glorious to see.

Kenan Malik, as so often the case, getting to the truth of the matter. A piece that Kemi Badenoch should read and reflect on. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Scientists at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute set out to sequence the #zebrafish genome in 2001, completing it in 2013. This revealed zfish have more than 26k protein-coding genes (more than humans) and that around 70% of human genes have at least one similar gene in zfish. #ZebrafishFunFacts 🧪

“I have been a factchecker at Full Fact in London for a year, investigating suspicious content on [FB, X, newspapers]. Our bread and butter includes a lot of video disinformation about wars […] and AI-generated fake video clips of politicians, which are getting harder to disprove.”

End of fact-checking at Meta seems a retrograde step. And bad news for @fullfact.org, who've done such a great job in this space. fullfact.org/blog/2025/ja...

#whatweretheythinking springs to mind! 🔽 Is this the academic equivalent of Fartman getting re-elected? This is very deeply disappointing (and nonsensical) from German universities!
