Throwback Thursday 🤓 Back when the US had a competent President with a joy and interest in scientific discovery 🎨🧠🙌🏼💚😍 😃👉🏼 nwnoggin.org/2016/10/08/n... @barackobama.bsky.social @americanbrainco.bsky.social

In case there’s any interest in what ACTUAL psychiatric physicians have to say about autism, vaccines, acetaminophen, and Leucovorin. Can we stop playing MAGA games with children’s health? www.psychiatry.org/news-room/ne...

Our “neural mural” (the hippocampus, rendered by artist and neuroscientist Santiago Ramon y Cajal), is finally underway at Portland State University 🧠🎨💚🤓 nwnoggin.org

“I was fired for holding the line on scientific integrity. The stakes are not theoretical — we have already seen the largest [US] measles outbreak in more than 30 years, which claimed the lives of two children.” go.nature.com/46rhA7s

“While exteroceptive stimuli, such as food and drugs of abuse, are well-established activators of DA-neuron activity, growing evidence indicates that interoceptive signals also play a critical role in modulating reward…”

Disney learned nothing from Andor.

What’s. It. Going. To take?

General pattern in regime change: the comedy gets better and then it gets banned.

Grateful to the scientists standing up for the integrity of institutions essential to the health & well-being of our whole society Evidence-based approaches are especially critical to the health of infants & children, whose health depends on reduced community spread of infectious diseases

After…Washington, Wisconsin, Maine, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Nevada, Arizona, Minnesota, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, Connecticut and MORE…another step 🙄 💉🦠💉🦠💉🦠

BIG: California has passed a new law, AB 144, that formally divorces the state’s vaccine laws from the authority wielded by the federal government, and allows the state to base future immunization guidance on credible, independent medical organizations instead.

Love to see badass legitimate CDC scientists @drdebhoury.bsky.social and Dr. Susan Monarez speaking truth to power in the HELP hearing. You can watch here:

Wow. Live your life in such a way that your shitty policies don't make the health insurance companies look like the good guys.

Newest paper from the lab, looking at how somatosensory neuron development and function is altered in a Pten haploinsufficient model of ASD. Work was all done by @alefdzphd.bsky.social, who just started an independent position at UTRGV. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

“Collectively, we provide a spatiomolecular framework for understanding the human nucleus accumbens (NAc) and its relevance to neuropsychiatric disease…” 🧠🔬👀🤓

Hopefully #oregon @tinakotek.bsky.social gets it together this week, and catches up with fellow governors who have made the #covid vaccine accessible in their states 💉🦠🙄

Unhoused people told us they already feel like they’re seen as problems to be solved, not people to be helped. In reporting on the issue, we wanted to help ProPublica’s readers recognize the humanity of the people we had met and talked to. (Published Dec. 2024) By @nicolesantacruz.bsky.social

@joyannreid.bsky.social is asking the right question.This may be the most dangerous period.When the dog catches the car & realizes he can’t open the doors or satisfy its hunger. Now there’s rage, snarling and vicious humiliation at having exhausted itself pursuing something that has no real meaning.

#SciArtSeptember Day 14: mimic • I'm fascinated by how parts of our anatomy mimics shapes in nature such as the inner ear being shaped like a snail shell. nave of vibration (2017). #SciArt #embroidery

California is devising a plan to create their own National Institutes of Health to counter federal cuts to science research.

Again, if you want to get a COVID19 vaccine this year, please consider getting it before RFK Jr’s fraudulent Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) meets on September 18-19. There is every reason to believe they will further restrict access. Absolutely shameful.

Still waiting on #oregon 🙄 @tinakotek.bsky.social asleep at the switch 😴

Go MAINE! 🦞🦠💉😃🎉 #oregon governor @tinakotek.bsky.social still twiddling thumbs 😵‍💫

Go Arizona 🌵🦠💉😍🥳 Once again #oregon smoked by another state governor 🙄 Where is the elusive @tinakotek.bsky.social 😵‍💫?

#sciencematters #vaccinessavelives #oregon is usually on the ball here; not sure what’s up with @tinakotek.bsky.social 😵‍💫

A new poll finds that just 1 in 4 Americans believe the Trump administration's policies to restrict vaccine access are based on science.

Go Virginia! #oregon still behind the public health curve, thanks to the paralysis? absence? of @tinakotek.bsky.social 🙄

“…we found that overcrowding triggers Na+ channels on epithelia to open, bringing in salts and depolarising the cells…The strong ones in the crowd can pump the sodium back out, repolarising themselves. But weak ones without enough energy can’t...” ⚡️⚡️

Go New Jersey! 💉🦠👊🏼 #oregon is *still* behind on policy changes - it’s crickets from @tinakotek.bsky.social who could act but doesn’t 🙄 Get your #covid shot in Washington state, with a governor committed to public health 💉🦠💚

“Morphogenetic information arises from a combination of genetically encoded cellular properties and emergent cellular behaviors…”

“Psychopathy lives at the unsettling intersection of ‘I know what I’m doing is wrong’ and ‘I just don’t care.’ That disconnect between knowledge and empathy is where the brain comes in, and for me, it’s where things get fascinating…” —Janani Romero @ PSU LEARN MORE 🧠👀👉🏼 nwnoggin.org/2025/05/23/c...

In Florida alone, a 15% decline in vaccinations against measles over 25 years would lead to 1 million measles cases. www.cnn.com/2025/09/09/h...
