The absence of food activates the brain's "hunger neurons" even before there is an energy deficit! We discovered a new hypothalamic circuit that enables the brain to predict and prevent deviations from homeostasis. Published in @cp-neuron.bsky.social www.cell.com/neuron/abstr...

If you have not left a public comment on the draconian OMB-2026-0034, here's a quick thread to make it easy. #standupforscience #neuroskyence Click here: www.regulations.gov/document/OMB...

Posting for Vibhu Sahni: Due to unforeseen circumstances the Burke Neurological Institute will have to terminate its research operations 5/22. There are international postdocs on visas who are looking for new homes. Please reach out to Vibhu if you can help

BOSTON!!! Visit this link: fight2win.standupforscience.net/Boston-March/ to learn more about your local SATURDAY MARCH 7TH RALLY to TAKE BACK OUR SCIENCE! See map for location! Rally starts at 12PM and goes till 3!! #March7Boston #standupforscience #science #savescience!

Happy to have contributed in a small way to this atlas of the paraventricular hypothalamus! I think this will be an amazing resource for everyone studying the PVH. Open access too! www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Check these out!!

Please spread the word🔊My lab is looking to hire two international postdocs. If you want to do comp neuro, combine machine learning and awesome math to understand neural circuit activity, then come work with us! Bonn is such a cool place for neuroscience now, you don't want to miss out.

Great thread summing up the PhD experience!

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...

Looking for a postdoc position to explore the neural circuits that regulate metabolism? Look no further! #NeuroJobs

Amazing postdoc opportunity in systems neuroscience with a great mentor! #NeuroJobs

Last year, we helped 100 students save $31K in grad school app fees, giving students from underserved communities the freedom to apply widely. This year we lost 16 partners = $8.2K setback = 110 fewer dreams. 🎓 You can change that. 💸 Donate to open 110 new doors. givebutter.com/supportCL

I'm in there somewhere!! #NoKings

October 18 is a day to stand tall against tyranny. No Crowns. No Thrones. #NoKings. Join the movement—find a No Kings Day protest near you and make your voice heard. nokings.org

Can't wait for this!!

This is amazing. 💯 ingenuity

Really excited to share my co-first publication together with @walkersamuelj.bsky.social from the Lowell lab @bidmcreseach.bsky.social @harvardmed.bsky.social!

The mission of the NIMHD is "to lead scientific research in humans to improve minority health and reduce health disparities in the United States and its territories." Let me put this as delicately as possible: Fuck off, you white supremacist asshole 2/2

Heartbreaking and senseless...

RFK Jr. said multiple times during his house and senate hearings today that no scientists have been fired from federal agencies. Our reporting has shown that hundreds, if not thousands, of scientists have been let go from NIH/CDC/FDA

This is not good...

Sometimes I get imposter syndrome but then I remember this guy is in charge of healthcare in the US and feel better

Mouse models of gender affirming hormone therapy can improve outcomes for trans people and for any cis person with hormones or receiving hormone therapies. What helps is standing in solidarity with us, speaking on the importance of and fighting for the research, not jokes about "transgenic mice" 🧪

Congrats Elisa and Niccolò! Very glad to have contributed to this project in a small way and happy to see the preprint. Check it out if you're interested in looong projecting spinal neurons and their role in movement! Lots of cool rabies tracing, spinal circuits and skilled locomotor behavior

March 7. Stand Up For Science. Rallies in DC and nationwide. 🧪 Please visit the website and spread the word. www.standupforscience2025.org

A useful tool and a great thing to do... 5calls.org/issue/nih-ns...

Great thread on the fuckery Elon and Donald are wreaking on US science

Anyone know what this means come Monday while the 15% cap on indirect costs goes through the courts? #neuroskyence

Really grateful to win this travel award and super excited to present our work on hunger regulation at the Keystone Symposium: Neurobiology of Ingestive Behavior! Big thanks to @lifemetabolism.bsky.social and @sablesys.bsky.social!

If you are directly affected by a cancellation of a meeting you were scheduled to participate in or at which your grant may have been discussed, consider reaching out.

Congrats @helenascobar.bsky.social! Hope this novel treatment for muscular dystrophy can make it into the clinic soon

I’m excited to share my latest paper @cp-cellmetabolism.bsky.social. HakanK and I recorded from AgRP neurons continuously for 1 month and found some exciting things during ad lib feeding, fasting and on circadian timescales www.cell.com/cell-metabol....

Great advice for choosing antibodies!

First snow of the year here in Boston! Total chaos 🌨️
