no one: 14yo: did you know that Mary Poppins and Pennywise are the same multiversal species?

She let me know that they recently received guidance that, ONLY for the January EI deadline (1/27/2026) and the February ESI deadline (2/3/2026), PIs can submit MIRAs even if their previous application (R35, R01, R15, R21, and R37) is still considered under review.

#TodayinHistory: #OnThisDay in 1903, the Williamsburg Bridge opened. At the time, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world, with a span of 1,600 feet and a total length of 7,308 feet. The Williamsburg Bridge was one of the last major bridges designed for the horse and carriage.

I am convinced even with my limited survey experience that hospitals are often the worst place to recover because you will not be allowed to actually sleep, you have to ask repeatedly for water, and this is standard of care

On today's episode of Odd Lots, I join to dive into all things AI and the pro-AI super PAC spending $10 million to defeat my campaign for Congress in NY-12. Read more and tune in: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care: I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care.  Your health care is still legal and protected.  I'll always fight for you.

Unbelievably, it's been 25 years since we lost Kirsty MacColl yet the beauty of her music and her memory still resonate. Here's a song I wrote for her to sing in the 1995 movie 'Mad Love'. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWjl...

Happy to share part I of Renesa Tarannum's thesis (my first grad student!) looking at how neuropil localized RNAs are spatially organized in the hippocampus. #Skeetorial #Neuroskyence 🧪 www.eneuro.org/content/12/1...

In the mid 80's I was a sort of a "lifestyle" reporter at KCOP News 13 in Los Angeles. And amazingly they pretty much let me pick my own topics. That is why this report even exists. It's a look at a Christmas sale at Frederick's of Hollywood in (I think) 1986. youtu.be/61oZ4FRzls0?...

Well, that explains this phenomenon...

Thrilled this is out, led by former PD Cameron Ogg (now with her own lab at @rhodescollege.bsky.social!). It was a driven by a desire to see, in real-time, how LC activity/NE release influences downstream targets in behaving animals. SO hard to do, but Cameron did it! www.cell.com/cell-reports...

RFK Jr, testifying on the 2026 HHS budget request: “I think we know a lot about the genes that are followed by vulnerabilities, high testosterone, low glutathione, the MTHFR gene, genes to control methylation…what we really need to do now is to identify the environmental toxins.”

this really really sucks.

Eat your folates to methylate, drink your vitamin C to demethylate. This is why I have cereal and orange juice for breakfast every morning to maintain equilibrium.

Friendly holiday reminder that people rush to submit before the holidays and declined reviews get even worse than usual. And editors want to enjoy holiday time, too. Patience and grace to all (and to all a good night)!

I posted on Facebook about my daughter dragging me to the mall two days ago. Look what Google's AI turned the post into for click bait. WTF is happening to the Internet, man? Seriously. And my post had NOTHING to do with my disability (I'm also NOT a "lower limb amputee).

This is Charles Clyde Ebbets, the photographer who took the iconic “Lunch atop a Skyscraper” picture. Look at this fearless, dapper fuck wearing spats, suspenders, and a tie 850 feet above the ground. Absolute legend.
