Hard truth for grad students:

Writing isn't something you do after the REAL science.

➡︎ Writing IS the science. ⬅︎

Your experiments don't matter
if you can't communicate them.

Your discoveries don't exist
if they stay in your lab notebook.

The optimistic brain: scans reveal thought patterns shared by positive thinkers Nature - Insights from brain imaging could have implications for mental-health research.

Optimistic people share patterns of brain activity, and make more of a distinction between positive and negative events than pessimists do

Many older people love slow strength training. Does it work? A Martinez visit's a slow strength gym and goes toe to toe with a senior citizen weightlifter, to see if this kind of exercise is all it's cracked up to be.

A single neuron in the human neocortex - photo taken with a confocal microscope

I saw this human neuron in the microscope today. So pretty, so unique.

This single neuron might have helped this person retrieve a memory, make a decision...or shape their personality. So many possibilities.

All my gratitude to the individuals and families who donate their brains to science. 🔬❤️🧠
