Great news for our collective sanity 😐

Excited to share our open-access work exploring a different approach to treating multiple sclerosis: inducing antigen-specific immune tolerance rather than broadly suppressing the immune system.

And that's only intramural 😔

Woohoo can't wait to hear the result!

Thinking about all you guys there ❤️

Hooray! Big congrats to Michael.

I have utterly not prepared and am enjoying full denial that anything much will happen.

So I might be cancelling you out, sorry.

we're hiring!

Similarly, Mary Chung's in Central Square in Cambridge. I'm still too sad about its closing to put it into words properly, so just adding a note to your post. ❤️🤤

This is such a cool idea! Not long term "networks" of young profs that create and cement in in-groups and out-groups, but summer schools, tailored to the acute needs of the young PI. Transient, but tailored, tidal and totally timeous, too. Terrific. Try today!

Support Calvary Food Shelf: Emergency Response Fundraiser on GiveMN Help us respond to urgent community needs

Hey folks Calvary Food Shelf has been helping out people in Minneapolis for 30 years, and now they’re ramping up to meet the crisis, including doing home deliveries so people don’t have to risk going out.

They’re just over halfway to their current goal—let’s get them all the way, shall we?

I am hoping that notebook has 69 pages and each one is filled out similarly

Tomaso Poggio on his quest for theories to explain the fundamental learning abilities of brains and machines Thus far, engineering has outpaced theory in the science of intelligence. But Poggio is hopeful that theories can catch up.

Keeping the head steady during walking is critical for stable vision and posture - how is it accomplished at the level of motor control? Postdoc Ruihan Wei shows that this fundamental behavior results from context-sensitive neck muscle coordination in macaques.

The text at the top reads, "ASNR Virtual Mentoring Program Stories". Below there is a quote from Dr. Charalambos "Bobby" C. Charalambous: “Being part of the Virtual Mentoring Program, as both mentee and mentor, has been one of the most meaningful components of my engagement with ASNR. For trainees and early-career investigators, it offers targeted support and a sense of community; for more senior faculty, it is a structured, impactful way to give back while continuing to grow professionally.” ASNR's logo is included below, and there is a headshot photo of Bobby on the left.

How can ASNR's Virtual Mentorship Program help you in your career? Dr. Bobby Charalambous shares his experience with the program, both as a mentee and mentor, in a new blog article! 🧠🔄 🧠📈

Gray rectangle

Exactly the same gray color in other horse (but the context makes one horse look bright and the other darker)

I had to check to make sure 😁

This is a pretty incredible one!

Heading to the ER to get that finger checked at the end, I guess

Got it - thanks!

Just curious: breaking down the total of 319, what's the n (number of faculty) in each of the three groups?

Thanks for doing this! Yes, should be helpful as context for APT cases. How did you define an NHP researcher? For example if a modeler works with an NHP lab, would they be included? And I assume this includes purely medical research eg surgical transplant labs etc?

I definitely didn’t just scrape the web to get the h-index and total citation count as of 12/30/2025 for 319 living and dead nonhuman primate researchers to get a sense of publication metrics by rank on tenure-track.
