Quote with a fictional band that is not Spinal Tap

I’ve heard anecdotally of several faculty planning to figure out Canvas alternatives this summer. Is there a group of folks and resources we could bring together? Is there something existing already?

Long-term editing of brain circuits with engineered electrical synapses! I still remember years ago when Kafui Dzirasa from @dukeuni.bsky.social @hhmi-science.bsky.social called me beaming with excitement about this new technology. Here it is today in Nature. www.nature.com/articles/s41... .

folx, I’ve been working on AI "ethics" for almost a decade now & hate to tell you there’s no such thing as "ethical AI" the only "ethical principle" that works is regulating the shit out of the industry & to take back control of our autonomy, fundamental rights, freedoms & right to exist w/out AI

Kash lab at UNC is hiring a new technician (our current two are off to grad school!!) posting will go live soon, email me CV and names of references if interested.

Hiring! Please share! Two postdoctoral researchers at EPFL, Lausanne, to join an SNSF-funded project on stress, motivation, immersive VR, physiology, multimodal sensing and translational biomarkers. Details & applications: www.fens.org/careers/job-... www.fens.org/careers/job-...

An exciting, new, short, online course on vaccinology! www.mcgill.ca/summerinstit...

Do I know anyone in NC who can help someone navigate Section 8/housing assistance? I have an acquaintance who is really overwhelmed by the system and is housing insecure. And this is well outside my area of expertise.

Are there any really good examples of institutional preprint policies? not funders but universities or research institutions. I'm looking for case studies for a preprint course I'm putting together :) #preprint #academicsky#openscience

So here is the creepy part. THE YEAST COLLECTED AT XBOX HQ MAKES XBOX LOGO BREAD. I have no idea how this happened. It’s a miracle and so creepy. Ancient aliens and shit. Ok good night. Try some baking. Play some games. I love you, I’ve got your back. 👊💚

15 years ago today, Kate and William killed Osama Bin Laden at their wedding.

A note I found yesterday while walking in Portland.

The past 15 months have marked a dark chapter in US science; one that will require significant effort to repair. But I'm not interested in duct tape and bandaid solutions. Our system had problems before Jan 20th, 2025. So, @standupforscience.net is doing what we do best: TAKING ACTION. 1/7

According to the Boston Globe, my events tomorrow and Tuesday are among the best of the week, so you should probably come 👀 www.bostonglobe.com/2026/04/25/a...

"Dopamine patches are supplements you can order online that deliver ingredients through the skin. These patches don’t contain dopamine" www.everydayhealth.com/healthy-livi... Well, that just seems like false advertising. Although even if they did contain dopamine, it wouldn't reach the brain.

"In a world of team science, there must be a better way to learn from failure, and not to see it as a burden. We all need to be doing a lot more to make failure a normal part of the scientific process." www.nature.com/articles/d41...

WATCH: Researchers at Stanford University modeled how many people could die or be disabled in 25 years if vaccines for polio, measles, rubella or diphtheria were no longer available.

Today, President Barack Obama and I read to a group of toddlers at Learning Through Play Pre-K Center in the South Bronx.  In between singing wheels on the bus, we discussed our administration’s vision for this City — one where New York’s Cutest have the strongest start possible.

How did eukaryotic cells get their Golgi, endosomes, lysosomes and other endomembrane compartments? We show that endomembrane evolution depends on long periods of neutral molecular exploration, punctuated by sudden leaps. New preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Talks from OXFOS26 (Oxford Forum for Open Scholarship) now available. Sadly I had to record mine as I was sick, but here it is, on Benevolent and Malevolent Consequences of Open Science. go.glam.ox.ac.uk/OxFOS26-Keyn...

Delighted to share our discoveries about one of the brain's neurotransmitter systems: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Together with colleagues at the @alleninstitute.org, we have learned a lot about a tiny cluster of neurons in the brainstem locus coeruleus (LC) that releases norepinephrine (NE). 1

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school. Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon! 🌕 💛

"men continued to publish the same number of papers after becoming fathers, women experienced a significant drop in research output (mothers had 31% fewer publications than did fathers 8 years after the birth of their first child)"

Immigrants weren’t just filling existing jobs; they were helping create them. That’s Econ 101: jobs are not a fixed pie. More people means more customers, more demand, more businesses expanding, and yes, more hiring.

There are so many no-good, terribly bad, wrong, AI-generated anatomical diagrams out there. Here's one I found on the website of an actual clinic in Minnesota. Yikes. Be careful out there.

DORKS! Do we know any scientists in Antarctica who want to help make history?!

This article is so validating as I 'mildly'struggle to simplify and explain everything dopamine does AND does not do in the context of substance use disorders to undergraduate students. Wish I could attend the meeting in Seville this May www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I am reviewing a simply amazing paper from a relatively young US-based lab, which is in danger of shutting its doors later this year. My emotions are all over the place. The fact that this does not uniquely identify the lab I’m referring to just deepens the tragedy of this moment in US science.

Hey Philly! I need your help finding 3 walls for 10x10ft murals this fall all about the most charismatic bugs in the city. Each mural must be in a different neighborhood, so we have to cast this net as wide as possible. Please help us spread the word! Submit your wall at bit.ly/bugwalls

It’s PhD admission season in the US and elsewhere. Is anyone collecting and sharing info about what admissions letters are saying this year, especially in the neuro/psych/bio space? Last year there were some (unfortunate) changes at some Unis, eg www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/03/08/u....

Influenza is a very serious infection This season we are seeing more complications of flu due to the high case numbers and a late second peak of cases. In the last 10 days I have seen - 2 cases of severe rhabdomyolysis with kidney failure caused by Flu B - FluA myocarditis - pt had troponin > 50,000

The talk to your friends app and the witness the horrors app being the same app is not great for the mental health is it

I've been thinking about community-based hypothesis generation. Like gathering non-researcher folks' theories and hypotheses as a step in hypothesis formation. Are there any good open science models to look at? I've seen a few for citizen science in health but they're kind of limited

#Women are underrepresented in academia, especially in #STEMM fields, top institutions & in senior positions. Analysis of millions of biomed & life science articles reveal that female-authored articles spend longer under review than comparable male-authored ones @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4658FZN
