Spotted today, a valid suggestion

An excellent and clear-eyed op-ed from a valued colleague about the devastating effects of crippling American science

This article--on the systematic dismantling of the NIH, NSF, and CDC--is a must-read not only for researchers and clinicians but for anyone who has ever gotten a vaccine, taken medication, read the results of a research study, or gotten tested for Covid, flu, or STIs. www.science.org/content/blog...

Hey if you're into feet and brains that came nonstandard from the factory and then got some questionable after-market mods, have I got a treat for YOU! Join now for bonus RUNNING CONTENT! Maybe some thoughts on HEALTHCARE & BURNOUT! And it's funny. To me, anyway. Come hang out. I made Jello.

Colleen Kelley was kind and supportive to me, early in my career. We would catch up periodically at conferences, & she was one of my senior colleagues I’d email with about memory stuff in my younger days. And what a research career! 1/a few

A lil quote from me in this promo for a study just out in Science! Something like volitional mental time travel in rats: Rat is on a spherical treadmill moving about a virtual space while place cells are recorded. 1/n

Happy Halloween to all who celebrate
