Yep, I did this once, with the same outcome

Bravo, Society for Behavioral Neuroendocrinology! Thank you to the members who crafted this important statement. @drglitterbear.bsky.social

Spotted today, a valid suggestion

An excellent and clear-eyed op-ed from a valued colleague about the devastating effects of crippling American science

Higher SD could indicate engagement of cognitively interesting processes but the trick would be prove it! If it was a movie perhaps there are cross subj correlations in that noise tied to movie details..?

I got no leads for you but it sounds cool! So is it that the stdev of the timecourse is lower during encoding if more details will be recalled later? Or do I have it backwards

Revised and Extended: What's Happening Inside the NIH and NSF

This article--on the systematic dismantling of the NIH, NSF, and CDC--is a must-read not only for researchers and clinicians but for anyone who has ever gotten a vaccine, taken medication, read the results of a research study, or gotten tested for Covid, flu, or STIs.

Knox didn’t appreciate my “Nuke the Whales” doodle, so he modified it accordingly

Ha yeah

Possible titles for a thing

Three terrible kitties and how very bad they were
The sins of my cats & their foul ways
One weird dog who was not helping
Kitties for sale, never worn

Ahhh juice would have been much more sensible than what I did

Just two days until the 500-year pre-nniversary of “In the Year 2525”, by the sages Zager and Evans.

She scrabbled up my back and got comfortable.

Cover of the report - it's in a blue/purple color scheme and shows an abstract illustration of a molecule and the title of the report "Understanding and Addressing Misinformation About Science Consensus Study Report"

Out now - National Academies consensus report on Understanding and Addressing Misinformation About Science 🧪

It was a privilege to serve as one of the 15 committee members from a wide range of scientific disciplines who put this report together. Quick 🧵1/

Taco Bell incoming

Releasing Thursday - we hope it will be a useful resource for researchers, journalists, practitioners, and anyone interested in what science misinformation is, how it spreads, its effects on people and society, and possible interventions.

Hell yeah!

Hey if you're into feet and brains that came nonstandard from the factory and then got some questionable after-market mods, have I got a treat for YOU! Join now for bonus RUNNING CONTENT! Maybe some thoughts on HEALTHCARE & BURNOUT!

And it's funny. To me, anyway. Come hang out. I made Jello.

Perfect plan, no notes

It would kind of be a funny bit if, despite my promise to eventually post about science, I just dedicated my entire online presence to cat content. Occasional dog content.

Tinkerbat and the cat tower

Now it’s just a matter of convincing them to scratch it. I carry them over to the rope and put their claws on it and that prompts some use. Eh they’ll figure it out eventually

Follow the thread, find the cats!

Yes—interesting… (late night sounds of cat falling off a 6 foot precipice again and again)

I stapled a bath mat to the middle tower, to give them something to scratch. The box pictured here has been removed, the cats weren’t interested in it, I’m going to try something else

The cat tower, almost complete, draped with kitties. Posts are, I believe, 3’, 4.5’, and 6’ tall.
I wanted the tallest one to allow the cat to really survey the room

Some rope and a glue gun to make a scratching post—good god this part took a long time 🧵3

Then I added some 4x4 posts to the cat tower 🧵2

I promise one day I’ll have a bunch of science thoughts to post, but right now I want to show you the cat tower I’m working on! It started as a simple frame 🧵1
