My tracing is lousy, but these panels are shifted and slightly rotated.

I'm so excited to see this Perspective with @jasonsynaptic.bsky.social out in Neuron! About 8% of our genome is made up of the remnants of LTR-containing retroelements - here, Jason and I explore the activities of retroTEs in neurological health and disease!

'Positive review only': Researchers hide AI prompts in papers Instructions in preprints from 14 universities highlight controversy on AI in peer review

While it wouldn't seem surprising if this is happening, the recent Nikkei "investigation" article about it (below) is un-sourced and filled with anonymous quotes. I tried searching myself and only found those same couple papers on arxiv, none on medrxiv or biorxiv. asia.nikkei.com/Business/Tec...

Proposal would defund ALS registry for disease that afflicts veterans at higher rate than general public Advocates for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis — a fatal condition known as Lou Gehrig’s disease — urged lawmakers to keep funding the National ALS Registry that serves as a centralized dat...

Nonprofit agencies that assist ALS patients and support research sent a letter to the bipartisan ALS Congressional Caucus after a leaked proposed budget memo from the Health and Human Services Department called for defunding the registry and a biorepository with thousands of lab specimens.

We own several games from www.neurdgames.com and love them all. I just ordered 2 copies of this new one and can't wait to play!

I just checked the wayback machine. It looks like that goofy icon of a flag with the wrong number of white "stars" and stripes has actually been used on these websites for many years. Still seems wrong though.

Changes to MSc, PhD and postdoc funding programs from 🇨🇦 tri councils. Harmonization across councils, more awards, and new eligibility for international PhD and postdoc applicants!

URGENT: Protect #ALS Research Funding! Congress may slash CDMRP funding in the CR, halting critical ALS research. ALS cases could rise 70% by 2030, & veterans face 2x the risk. We must act NOW! Tell your Senators to protect funding! als-ny.org/the-threat-t... #ALSResearch

We are very concerned about the proposed budget cuts at the NIH and the DOD that could impact ALS research. Our Board of Trustees and staff are taking to Capitol Hill on Wednesday to urge Congress to continue to fund ALS research.

A vote for this legislation is a vote to cut federally funded cancer research. Please take action today to ask Congress to vote no on the CR and instead approve a full-year FY25 Defense Appropriations Act that fully funds the OCRP and CDMRP.

WOW. This is absolutely remarkable work!

Thank you for the quick response! He comes home next Friday for Spring Break and will be in touch and send you his CV then.

Do you have Summer internships for university students? Our son is an Environmental Geoscience major, in his 3rd year at College of Wooster.

Here is a screengrab from Research!America with some of the same info. www.researchamerica.org/marys-letter...
