“At the age of 23, before she'd even earned her PhD, Carol Greider made the discovery that would earn her the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Along with her supervisor and co-laureate Elizabeth Blackburn, she discovered the enzyme telomerase…”

Traditional behavioral models of bargaining interpret acceptance of #unfair offers as simple reward maximization. This study shows that #inequality aversion also shapes these decisions and identifies the #dACC as a regulator of responses to disadvantageous inequity @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4kmRadA

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Laypeople often learn about science from expert explanations & those explanations often contain JARGON. Does jargon make explanations better or worse? In a paper out today in Nature Human Behaviour, @cruzf.bsky.social and I find that jargon can support illusions of understanding...

Breaking News: Scientists from the University of the Basque Country have discovered a groundbreaking molecule, WIN55.212-2, that reverses early cognitive damage caused by Alzheimer’s disease.

Do you work on surface MRI such as HCP data? Our paper is finally out in Imaging Neuroscience, showing biases in surface fMRI. The revised ms has many new insights! TLDR: Vertices are much closer to each other in sulci, resulting in (fake) high spatial autocorrelation. (1/5)

THREAD Things that didn't make the news that will likely change our lives for the better The news is not an accurate reflection of the world. Good news doesn't get reported as much. Here are the wonderful things researchers have achieved recently. 1/24

En théorie le vélo a toutes les vertus. Il décongestionne les villes, améliore la santé de ses utilisateurs. Pourtant, les votations populaires à répétition en faveur de la mobilité douce ne sont pas mises en application, et l’on n’aime rien tant que détester les vélos www.heidi.news/explorations...

1/8. This week I had a few different conversations with scholars who, in the face of the attacks on science and institutions of learning in the U.S., are wondering what to do. One suggestion I have is: keep doing your work. It matters in and of itself. Why do I say that? A few reasons.

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%. I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

My colleague asked for a good example of why chirality matters regarding amino acids and other biomolecules. My response was sending these Fantastic Four panels from @ryannorth.ca because I’m a nerd like that… Which means, IF YOU’RE A SCIENTIST, YOU SHOULD BE READING THE FANTASTIC FOUR RN!

This loss of a founding member is, without doubt, a heavy blow; in 2022–23, the United States contributed around one-sixth of the agency’s overall income. If the 193 remaining nations want the WHO to succeed, they must find a way to pay for it https://go.nature.com/4hm1ksF
