Norway officially has pro-Putin party, run by Russian assets who feature on RT and used to run a Kreml-aligned fascist "Konservative" party. But this this time they are trying under the guise of left wing rhetoric. They openly want Russia to annex Ukraine, and refused to say who their funded was...

A disaster.

UK universities should be advising students and staff travelling to the US on social media use, what border staff are entitled to seize or search, what to do if detained, and how to keep US colleagues safe, says @petraboynton.bsky.social www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-uk-v...

Ask yourself why Russia is excluded from the Trump tarrifs

Well you’ve got to give Trump credit, he’s really lowering prices on the stock market, that’s for sure

Just watched the President's "Liberation Day" speech. Based on this, I can confirm many Americans will be liberated from: - Being able to afford groceries - Much of their retirement savings - Any hope of buying a home As for lower prices? Just the opposite.

Watching Trump's speech on tarrifs, it's idiotic madness. Boycott as many American products as you can. You don't need to achieve anywhere close to 100% coverage to be effective. Think twice and pick a non-US alternative if possible. The future is European.

i am honestly asking -- have any prominent democrats outside of wisconsin even bothered to mention that the presidents money man (musk) is trying to buy the election there? cause imagine george soros handing out checks and gop leadership not making it *the* political issue of the month?

I realize this is a race to the bottom, but if Trump can have a third term, so can Obama, right?

Americans: You are actively losing your democracy. This is what dictators do. There is no guarantee of an election in four years. Protest! Shout in the street! Discuss the implications of this with your brainwashed friends and families. Do anything! www.nytimes.com/2025/03/30/u...

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

“Peace demonstrators” in the Netherlands falsely claim to represent Ukrainian voices while campaigning against the Ukrainian government and aid for Ukraine.

Really exciting to be living in a fascist state! Thank you everyone who voted for this!

We are watching Trump make the same mistakes Neville Chamberlain made in 1938 with the Munich Agreement. Russia is in a war time economy that it cannot stop, otherwise it's economy will collapse entirely. US may withdraw from NATO. Bleak times. Here's to hoping for a revival of European strength.

Monumental step towards true, America-independent collective security between 🇳🇴🇬🇧 today. The Brits trained our resistance fighters under Nazi occupation, and helped liberating us from tyranny. I'm glad to see the solidarity continue against the current facist threat (on both sides of the Atlantic)

Remember this for when in four-years time Trump is refusing to let go of power.

American institutions—from the media to Congress—continue to underreact to the unraveling of our democracy. Overseas our media would not hesitate to call what we’re living through a full-blown autocratic coup. Here's my attempt at the story they should write: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-trump...

If you're a scientist that serves on an NSF panel that got cancelled today, I'd love to talk to you about it for an NPR story. DM, email or reach out on signal.

Lots of folks on the Vision Scientists Starter Pack. Vision scientists: Let me know if you’d like to be added. go.bsky.app/3EWSGiv

And for this #FluorescenceFriday, here’s the sequel. Froglet of the same line from the Sweeney lab.

Let us all be in awe of the anatomical beauty of #avianretina 🐔 Here is a cross-section of a domestic chick #retina displaying some beautiful #bipolarcell and #doublecone markers. Lets do some #FluorescenceFriday Sample from @neurofishh.bsky.social

Early vision Neuroscience community, Vol 1 We are talking eyes, retinas, and some of the more ancestral bits of visual brains. No species restrictions. List is close to full, will start building Vol 2 before too long Addition requests, please see link in the below thread go.bsky.app/BotZr1g

Mix neuroscience with the seaside! 4 year PhD programme on the UK's south coast at the University of Sussex. Fantastic community of excellent researchers across the neuro field. Apply now. Please RT.

Here is a starter pack for relevant #neuro institutions on BlueSky. go.bsky.app/LMFsego Did we forget anyone?

Photoreceptors in the retina of a zebrafish embryo. #FluorescenceFriday #SciArt #Microscopy #Retina

A cool discussion w/ some colleagues from the #NeuroSky community has triggered a new #ComplexityThoughts 👀 Regardless if you work w/ 🧠 or 🧬🧫, often we attack inverse problems in 🧪 w/ methods hiding tons of assumptions. I write about the case of #ComplexNetworks 👇 open.substack.com/pub/manlius/...

Check out a virtual symposium on Astrocytes, Microglia and Neuroinflammation in the eye from Harvard's Dept. of Ophthalmology and Mass Eye and Ear on Dec. 5th and 6th. Check out deets below.

An image of a larval zebrafish retina I acquired while testing antibodies. It's a shame my favourite cells, the photoreceptors, aren't labelled! But the inner retina is very striking, and I like that the lens cells are so apparent. #FluorescenceFriday #sciart

Exciting preprint from @chiarafornetto.bsky.social's research on colour vision in zebrafish! Turns out their spatiotemporal vision is mainly built on R/UV cones, and G/B cones provide supportive functions like background subtraction! 4 cones allows more computation earlier in vision! Have a read!(:
