so are optogenetics and expansion microscopy one of those separate art from artist cases ? kinda hard to not be reminded about epsteins emails when i see these now 😅

We are watching in real time who some scientists are willing to sacrifice in favor of access to funding: early career researchers, trainees, scientists from historically excluded groups and immigrants.

science - high highs and low lows 😅

dang, ya'll do good work!

It's a good day, Colors of the Brain just won a 25k grant from IBRO and, I got selected as a UC San Diego Bouchet Scholar, and I'm getting nice data from the mouse I'm recording from, super grateful to the team for writing the grant and for my LOR writers, and of course mouse 14_01

How to be a multidisciplinary neuroscientist Neuroscience subfields are often siloed. Embracing an integrative approach during training can help change that.

Happy our collaboration with Dr. Anne Bang's lab is out! My contribution included taking specparam's analytical toolkit to test whether aperiodic measures of neural activity were sensitive to ion channel blockade in human iPS cell-derived glutamatergic cultures www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

i need prints of these!

Jeffrey Epstein infiltrated science because it was ready to accommodate him What could “nerd tunnel vision” possibly mean?

From 2019: Jeffrey Epstein liked to describe himself as a “science philanthropist,” and academics liked to take his money.

As more of Epstein’s enablers are uncovered, it’s worth asking why it was so easy for him to infiltrate science in the first place.

DEI fascism, pinches cobardes

I saw it too:

brooooooi

hahahaha what

ayooooo

thank you 🫡

got reviewer 2'd

"The overall analytic framework is outdated, with no novel analysis or computational approaches.
The single outcome focus does not work with the complexity of ASD."

grant rejection morning! simons data one

Our lab will be boycotting biotech vendors that have contracts with ICE (e.g., Fisher, Agilent), and telling them why. If you google “vendorname usa spending”, you can see purchases for specific depts including ICE on usaspending.gov. Please talk to your labs and email your vendors!

if the democratic party lesdership not meeting the moment agaisnt a genocide and facism at home hasnt convinced you we dont have an opposition party i dont know what will, they hate the their own voters

Because of technical issues with the SciENcv website, NIH is extending a period of leniency accepting old format biosketches through May 2026 (see FAQ #5):

broooo

Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking.

Warning: video is hard to watch

hahahahahahah

Get ready for a Democratic Party influencer blitz to convince you that replacing Greg Bovino with Tom Homan is a huge win you should be grateful for.

Meanwhile here’s Tom Homan:

This is an important paper on social class barriers among faculty in academia.

First-generation college grads earn less and are placed at lower prestige institutions despite being just as productive as other faculty.

Faculty from upper class backgrounds are overplaced for their research records.

this is DEI for mediocre conservatives
