More news (not good) from NIH The renewal request from National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke Director Walter Koroshetz has been denied. I guess the NIH_leadership™ needed another position to fill with their time-tested recruitment process.

Sleep dependent consolidation and replay that doesn’t require the hippocampus? Very beautiful work by Marcus Stephenson-Jones’ lab on sleep driven sequential skill consolidation in the striatum. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

So you’re telling me that when your country welcomes talented people from around the globe, and brings them together in world-class universities, they make discoveries that save lives? Interesting. UM researchers make breakthrough to treat form of leukemia www.detroitnews.com/story/news/l...

Detainee they are interviewing was a college student in Columbia. Waited in Mexico until he had a 2024 immigration interview in CA - a scheduled appointment - where he was told he was a danger to society. Claims he has no criminal record, never even got a traffic ticket. Was immediately detained

This has been made available, so for purposes of commenting on Bari Weiss's decision to spike the story, here's a live-post of that segment. It begins with a "you may recall" summary of the deportation to el Salvador. Describes the admin's claim that it could deport the men without due process

CBS didn't run the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT, but over here at @propublica.org we've been working on the story since March, including finding out who each and every man sent to that maximum security prison was. You can see our reporting here: www.propublica.org/series/depor...

They 100% asked for comment from the White House; no way in hell they didn't. This means the White House refused to comment, then Weiss used that as an excuse to kill the story.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

Trying to imagine what it’d be like for an experienced 60 Minutes producer or reporter, who’d spent many weeks preparing a detailed investigation of a notorious El Salvador prison, to be getting input from Bari Weiss or one of acolytes, just hours before airtime.

now seems like a good time to remind you all to support independent, worker run, billionaire free, and/or reader funded news how and where you can.

Scientists have created a new protein-based gel that can regenerate damaged tooth enamel. The material mimics a natural process to regrow enamel mineral structure inside holes and cracks. This technology could prevent decay and treat sensitive teeth. www.healthday.com/health-news/...

“60 Minutes” abruptly dropped a segment about Trump deportees sent to a megaprison in El Salvador Sunday — two hours before it was set to air

Skilled-worker visa holders who traveled back to India this month to renew their US work permits are now stranded far from home after their appointments were abruptly canceled by U.S. consular offices and rescheduled for months later.

BTW, this is why Ms Weiss -- who may be a lovely person, I've never met her -- shouldn't be the head of a news organization. She's not a journalist. A journalist wouldn't suggest putting famous people we always hear from on the air. She'd try to find out who we haven't heard from, but should.

This is Nigel Tufnel math.

fMRI signals “up,” but neural metabolism might be going “down.” In our @natneuro.nature.com paper, we demonstrate that about 40% of voxels with robust BOLD responses exhibit opposite oxygen metabolism, revealing two distinct hemodynamic modes. rdcu.be/eUPO8 funds @erc.europa.eu #neuroskyence 🧵:

What a lot of people on the internet don't seem to realise is that a vital part of reading between the lines is also reading the actual lines.

The Take Care Clause was a byproduct of the lessons learned from the Glorious Revolution that the executive should not be able to dispense with the law promulgated by the legislature. It was not a constitutional provision to empower the executive branch— but to constrain it!

A few weeks ago, my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. I won’t lie—it's been incredibly challenging for me and my family. Now, I’m embarking on a journey to answer the questions so many of us face when it comes to providing care for our loved ones. I hope you’ll join me.

A picture is worth a 1000 words. The birth dose of hepatitis B vaccines in the USA eliminated perinatally acquired hepatitis B infection from over 20,000 cases a year before the vaccine was introduced to <20 cases a year. The gaslighting by the current members ACIP is obscene, unethical and cruel.
