Extremely niche invitation: If you're coming to #SfN2025 and you want to join me and some of the top breathing experts in the world in a hypoxic workout gym downtown, shoot me a DM. 😮‍💨

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

Great tips from @hormiga.bsky.social for your first scientific conference — in perfect time for #SfN2025! #neuroskyence scienceforeveryone.science/getting-the-...

The Sosa Lab is going to #SfN25 and actively recruiting ✨postdocs✨ with systems neuroscience experience! We study both fundamental memory processes and how memory changes during pregnancy and postpartum. If you are interested in meeting at SfN, please email me! www.sosaneurolab.com/join/postdoc...

look as soon as i had the vision it had to happen thank you for your contributions

Rosalind Franklin died at 37 of ovarian cancer attributed to radiation exposure from the methods she & her assistant used to photograph a cross-section of the DNA double helix. Meanwhile, Watson won a Nobel off that work & survived to the ripe old age of 97 by simply: stealing those notes!

We are looking for a scientific computing associate interested in data-driven equation discovery here at @hhmijanelia.bsky.social. This is an alternative to a postdoc that you can use to move into academic or software jobs. Please spread the word! hhmi.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Extern...

When I was a postdoc, CSHL held a Burns poetry night, which Watson attended. I did a dramatic reading of Ice Ice Baby. I hope he found it deeply offensive, and that the graduate students (many of whom he told didn't belong there) found it at least mildly entertaining. This is a good day for CSHL.

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

Neuroscientists of the bluest sky: I'm trying to identify seminal papers that have reshaped our understanding of brain-body connections (could be in any system). Which papers come to mind? #neuroskyence

Scaling back DEI isn’t just a moral setback—it’s a loss of innovation. Bhalla, Trejo & @marymunson4.bsky.social in Nature Cell Biology: limiting who can participate in science “weakens research capacity and stifles discovery.” doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Ok she’s my wife so she’s biased but she’s also not wrong 😁🫶

Both recent SASSY events have been highlights have been wonderful, and for those who couldn’t attend in person, you can still catch the recordings. They’re all very unique store stories. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

I want science communication to contain narrative. I want it to be honest and insightful. I want it to be in and for our community. We did all of this at our SASSY "Little Lab of Horrors" event this week and I am so, so proud of our storytellers and the work we put into this.

Hi all, this headline does not give the right impression of what is going on with these notices. (HHS employee here speaking in my personal capacity about matters of public concern that have been publicly reported—I am not sharing details from inside the agency.) 🧵 1/

So @analog-ashley.bsky.social and I have a podcast together and we're the same height and we're both in brain or mind sciences and we both work on changing beliefs about technical work and sometimes people are like how do you tell them apart. Easy. This is Ashley

This is a legitimately amazing video from @schumer.senate.gov Please watch. Thank you, Chuck Schumer! youtube.com/shorts/Bl01O...

First time @analog-ashley.bsky.social and I have presented at the same conference together!!!!! This was pure delight ❤️❤️❤️❤️ #monktoberfest

Wow, I have never had someone so succinctly and effectively summarize a talk I’ve given! Thank you @maggiefero.bsky.social 🙌

Still anxiously awaiting to see how the UCs respond to this. It’s been an information blackout for a long time.

One of the opener talks from @gabyberk.bsky.social at #monktoberfest that includes the impact of math anxiety Love this especially bc @analog-ashley.bsky.social and I did a deep dive into math anxiety & how it works & why it's not learners' fault www.changetechnically.fyi/2396236/epis...

¡#OpenScience para todos! Neurociencias Para Todos is bringing neuroscience to rural Mexico with curriculum feat. our free and open brain atlases. Dra. López-Hidalgo shares the story and impact of the program w/ @analog-ashley.bsky.social. www.thetransmitter.org/community/br... #OpenScienceWeek

If we fired someone every time they made some ill-informed conjecture on air I wonder which would be the last network standing 🤔

We have dropped an 🥰 anniversary special 🥰 for Change, Technically A year of podcasting with @analog-ashley.bsky.social and @daniloc.xyz has been more lovely than I ever expected, full of learning. Never let them take your swagger 😎 www.changetechnically.fyi/2396236/epis...

As it's hiring season again I'm resharing the NeuroJobs feed. Add #NeuroJobs to your post if you're recruiting or looking for an RA, PhD, Postdoc, or faculty position in Neuro or an adjacent field. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Tomorrow, when you call your senators and representatives again to demand RFK's resignation, remind them that the nation's major medical societies (and our largest nurses union! @nationalnurses.bsky.social) demand it, too.

I'm starting to look into how inflammation is being misused by MAHA types in a way that very much distracts from chronic illness-inflammation problems people actually have. If you're an academic, doctor, immunologist etc with thoughts on this, please be in touch at [email protected]

A federal judge in Boston said she found it "difficult to conclude anything other than that [the Trump administration] used antisemitism as a smokescreen for a targeted, ideologically-motivated assault on this country's premier universities, and did so in a way that runs afoul of [federal law]."

Writing is thinking, not just word production. (And we need thinking.) Agree strongly with Tim's take for @thetransmitter.bsky.social here: "The problem is not that the tools don’t work—it’s that they work too well."
