Alright, fellow authors, let’s do this.

Stephen Miller is employing state terror in service of the open goal of shifting the ethnic mix of the country. In numerous ways he's doing this at the expense of public safety. We spent weeks reporting on Miller's real aims. Here's the result. We hope you'll read: newrepublic.com/article/2041...

Adam Kampff prioritized spreading knowledge over publishing flashy papers in prestigious journals, but colleagues say his mark on neuroscience was undeniable. The researcher and educator passed away on 9 December. By Lauren Schneider www.thetransmitter.org/systems-neur...

@statnews.com has been an essential resource and we particularly appreciated their “American Science, Shattered” series on the threats posed to science funding, early-career scientists, and transgender and nonbinary researchers. www.statnews.com/american-sci...

@npr.org has also humanized the issue, as with their story on renowned cancer researcher Joan Brugge. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

I am very grateful to receive the 2025 JSPS Prize 🌸 Support from mentors, colleagues, and the curiosity of my former and current lab members have helped shape my work. Thank you all! #JSPSPrize #JSPS2025 #Neuroscience

Generative AI systems are being built primarily for entertainment, design and communication, but their potential for neuroscience is vast. @shahabbakht.bsky.social explores how this technology could help capture an animal’s ecological experience. #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/artificial-i...

New preprint from the lab! A frontal motor circuit for economic decisions and actions: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... We use a novel task in mice, cortex-wide imaging and optogenetics, NPX recording and modelling to reveal a circuit mechanism that transforms abstract decisions to spatial actions.

The fruit fly visual system gets a glow-up during pupal development. A new study reveals how non-neuronal calcium activity fine-tunes the boundaries between each portion of the compound eye. By @lauren-schneider.com #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/developmenta...

Last week, we published the surprising result below (visual cortex == hippocampus). Today, we've posted a revised preprint showing something that's actually different between the two structures. Evidence for a novel medial temporal lobe computation! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Hearing a rumor that NIH/HHS may now plan to retaliate against other Bethesda Declaration signers. I am one, but it’s not about me: we have been speaking out because of the ongoing damage to US medical research, cancer and Alzheimer’s research. As @jenna-m-norton.bsky.social put well: 1/

This week the Trump CDC attacked science — and our health, and our kids’ health — by twisting the truth on the CDC website. There’s things to say about the playbook they used, and that’s helped by a little explanation about scientific truth in practice. New vid explainer from me: 🧪 part 1/

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com. We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans. washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

Come on Konrad, why do you cave so easily? Here, let me try it for you: 1. Spikes are (to good approximation) the only events that matter. 2. Extracellular fields are one way by which spikes interact with each other. 1/2

I know that at this point it's a subplot in the Epstein files drama, but I feel compelled to point out, once again, that Larry Summers HAS NO BUSINESS teaching students at ANY university ever again! My latest cries into the abyss, in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/soci...

The science is clear - SNAP reduces food insecurity, improves health outcomes, and lower healthcare costs. Although fed judges ruled the admin can NOT withhold SNAP disbursements, it appears they plan to do just that. We’re mobilizing a national food drive - join here👇 zurl.co/BrvG5

The science is clear: SNAP is critically important for the health of over 40m Americans. We are mobilizing @standupforscience.bsky.social to collect food, in partnership with local food banks all across the country. 🤝 Get involved here: www.standupforscience.net/sufs-food-dr...
