The best analysis I have read of Dr. Franklin’s essential contributions!

This paper describes outreach efforts on X. Now that Elon’s fascist leanings and algorithms are so obvious, why is NPP still using X? You should stop immediately and rely on Bluesky to drive engagement. Stop supporting rapacious fascists in our name!

Very proud of Dr Tracy Bale’s @thebalelab.bsky.social induction into the National Academy of Medicine yesterday evening! A brilliant impactful scientist, a champion of women, and a tireless advocate for global neuroscience at @ibroorg.bsky.social! Congratulations!

NO KINGS! FREE DC OF THE ORANGE VERMIN!

Interesting indeed! BUT CAN WE PLEASE STOP CALLING THE FORCED SWIM AND TAIL SUSPENSION TESTS DEPRESSION TESTS!!!!!!! No predictive or face validity!

Amazing line up - this will be fun! @bita137.bsky.social @torbenott.bsky.social @sthom003.bsky.social @theborislab.bsky.social

Interested in bridging the translatability gap between mice and humans, specifically with regard to psychedelics? Have I got an opportunity for you! Join us for an interactive and stimulating pre-meeting before #SfN2025. @theborislab.bsky.social @bita37.bsky.social @fredbarrettphd.bsky.social

“Science at the edge” seems appropriate for a discussion of the potential of psychedelics to improve mental health. Exciting things are happening and Colorado is leading the way. Join us to learn more -from mice to people to public policy and everything in between! institute.dmns.org/events/scien...

Synchronized swimming?

Amazing lineup! And I promise we won’t just bash forced swim tests

Amid all the attention CK is getting, let’s not forget those who are suffering in my community as a direct result of his hateful ideology. When they examine the weapon, they will find his fingerprints all over it!

News in the history of molecular biology. The Science History Institute in Philadelphia has acquired a huge archive of correspondence and other scientific material from the pioneers of molecular biology (Franklin, Klug, Perutz, Delbrück etc, with items from Crick and Watson, too). 1/n

Friday night is the night! 4 women comedians partnered with 4 women scientists 🤯 Making women’s brain health a top priority. 🧠 Smart women. Sharp jokes. Zero apologies. Come join us at the Bug Theater in Denver and laugh your stress off! 🤣 @nancynorton.bsky.social @cuanschutz.bsky.social

Community engagement event for #BrainFest in Denver #Headstrong is a twist on #WomensBrainHealth across the lifespan using comedy! Denver's top women comedians paired with @cuanschutz.bsky.social top women scientists for an incredible show. If you're in the area Sept 5, come laugh your stress off!

WOO HOO! You’ll no doubt be shocked to hear that there are really exciting things happening with psychedelics these days! You don’t want to miss this chance to catch the latest science. See you in San Diego!

Send this to everyone you know! Especially your non-science family and friends!

A short, must-watch video. Thanks to these scientists for sharing. We really need more scientists standing up against the assault on research. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/24/o...

Of course, an absence of evidence of pathology is not evidence of an absence of risk! LSD is metabolized faster in mice than humans. Also, our mice were healthy and people with pre-existing heart conditions could be at greater risk. Prospective human studies are needed.

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/

Congratulations Max!! Important work!!

Fantastic discussion between two excellent psychedelic scientists, spanning the generations of research progress! It really should say Huxley to Hefter to Jaster! Well done @jasteralaina.bsky.social!

So important to recognize the value and recognize the importance of lived experiences! Thank you to all the panelists for your courage and generosity!

THRILLED to share @acnporg.bsky.social news x2! 1) Our study group “Centering Lived Experience in Psychiatric Neuroscience Research” @ericjnestler.bsky.social @mayaschumer.bsky.social @deffinger.bsky.social @viscidula.bsky.social @noelvest.bsky.social @cahill-lab.bsky.social=ACCEPTED! 🤩 #ACNP2026

I attended the first ever Neurobiology of Psychedelics GRC last month. I was impressed by how interdisciplinary the field is, from molecules to humans. We are just starting to understand the mechanisms of these drugs and how they can unlock future treatments. #GRCPsychedelics

Last day of BRAIN CAMP was a hit! Campers finished their mini brains, used their brain knowledge to solve a treasure hunt for ice cream and helped with the art on the giant sculptures 🧠. Was an amazing week of incredible learning and fantastic fun with hands-on science and art. 🎉 Phew! 😅

Big progress on BRAIN CAMP sculptures! Kids discussed the art and voted on titles, and added their brain art to the bases. 🧠 These will be finished up and go on display at @stanleymarket all Sept and then be auctioned off so they can be brain health engagement pieces in the community. 👏

This is an excellent explainer of the value of basic science research and offers excellent examples, as well as good advice about HOW to ‘explain’ the value of basic science to the public. We are where we are because we scientists have not done a good job of this historically.

👏👏👏 Now it just needs to get through the rest of the process.

Today at BRAIN CAMP was a busy day of hypothesis testing (does more vinegar make your balloon explode faster?), learning about and then dissecting the hippocampus from sheep brains 😳 which they LOVED, and finishing their mini brain sculptures. 🧠

Big day for BRAIN CAMP sculptures! They’re really starting to take shape. The glow in the dark 🧠 is fabulous and the kids have added such creative ideas from what they’ve learned this week. Can’t wait to display and auction these off so they can be out in the community. @cuanschutz.bsky.social

🧪 Senate appropriators say: NIH's budget gets a... boost! Rather than 40% cut, NIH gets a $400M *increase* in the Senate committee bill for FY26 (about +1%). "Congress has your back," said @murray.senate.gov. ADVOCACY MATTERS! There's still a long road (esp in the House), so keep up pressure.

I guarantee that Devin’s talk will be both inspiring and informative! I highly recommend it and him!

Hoping this holds until committee votes in Sept 👏👏👏 Your calls to Congressional members matter! Let them know how critical NIH funding is to their districts and to our health. ☎️ Can we be optimistic @jeremymberg.bsky.social ??

BRAIN CAMPers learned all about the scientific method & developed a hypothesis today regarding a very important issue of what size and shape of marshmallow melts in a solar s’more oven faster 🤔. Messy but memorable science! @cuanschutz.bsky.social

In today’s BRAIN CAMP sculpture news, the kids started on incorporating what they’ve learned into themes for each brain. So far, we’ve got the beautiful bedazzled brain and glowing neurons brain (yes, actually glows in the dark!). Look for updates as the week progresses 🧠.

At BRAIN CAMP this year, we are doing giant brain 🧠 sculptures to be displayed at our local market, explained by the kids on what they learned about their brain & then auctioned off for display in the community 🙌. Follow us to watch the progress on the sculptures this week! @cuanschutz.bsky.social

If I understand this correctly, there will be no more non-competing renewal process, correct? What’s your guess about no cost extensions?

That time of year again - we are doing BRAIN CAMP!! 🧠 3-5th graders learning the brain & brain health through hands-on science and art. In these anxiety times, watching these kids’ awe and joy in discovery is fabulous 😄

Being an academic right now feels like riding in a car that has the check engine and low fuel light on, and you know you there isn't a gas station for at least the next three years. How long before it stalls in the middle of the rode? How long before you get off? How long before we all get off.

Hard to believe there’s much demand for supplements, but in case you’re running low, I’m happy to report that it’s readily available at Whole Foods. Free range and organic too!

#GRCPsychedelics - What a blast! It was great to talk science with so many incredible people in the field. Can't wait to do it all over again!

So happy the first #GRCPsychedelics was such a success. It was great to see everyone and share all the amazing science and community. Thank you to all the speakers and congratulations to the travel awardees!!

Great panel this morning on the human and clinical studies of psychedelics - my impression is we have come a long way in the last few years in terms of design and quantification #GRCPsychedelics

Congratulations Alex and team!
