Only 0.5% of neuroscience research focuses on issues exclusive to the female body. Let’s be the change. 🧠πŸ’ͺ

We spent an evening with @stephenfry.bsky.social on his tour in NZ and I can confirm the world needs more Stephen Frys.

@ejwillingham.bsky.social seems you were spot on with your assessment

Not that much but racism was/is deeply ingrained, but less talked about. However, when Merkel opened the borders to help out millions of Syrians, a clear shift to the right happened, also affecting other European countries. Progressive indigenous policies in NZ under Jacinda had similar consequences

The anonymity of social media might be contributing. And the tendency to counteract when things change, perceivably not in one’s own interest. The empowerment of women is feared to disadvantage (white) men; the response to Obama was overt racism/Trump. It’s very similar in Europe and New Zealand.

Awful. I grew up in Germany, and although I’m sure there were plenty of men in the 80s that thought that way, it seemed not mainstream at all. Do you think it is getting more mainstream in the States/Texas or has always been that level since when we grew up?

We’re all hurting. I don’t have all the answers.

But I know that things won’t be this bleak forever.

I ran against a MAGA incumbent in a β€œsafe red” district in KY as a progressive, openly queer, 28-year-old trans woman.

And I won.

Hi Emily, I am one of the last gen Xes, and though our generation has many problems, many still have values against racism, pro-women, and for action against climate change. I cannot recall wide-spread pro-rape messages like β€˜women are property’ which circulate on social among young men- worrying.

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

How exciting these ideas of Miller et al. (& how many new questions they raise):

β€œThis new perspective is part of mounting evidence that the neural basis of cognition is not continuous.”
β€œWhat we are proposing is the infrastructure by which volition acts.”

Interesting this On/Off pattern of neuron activity in lateral PFC during spatial working memory tasks. Wondering if this can be generalized to all working memory networks (eg does it apply to verbal working memory networks as well?)

If you score high on all 5 personality traits of the BigFive personality test, does that mean you have a big personality and are an overachiever? Asking for a friend.. πŸ˜‚

Daily attempts of bribing with wriggly worms to learn the secret of how to grow brain cells remain unsuccessful but I’ll stay on it for science sake.
