Since this is going to be headline news tomorrow…

The highest quality research has shown Tylenol use in pregnancy is NOT at all associated with autism risk.

To suggest otherwise is to be an amateur that cherry-picks data points from decades ago.

What we discussed 2 weeks ago remains true today ⬇️

Supreme Court Lifts Restrictions on L.A. Immigration Stops A federal judge had ordered agents not to make indiscriminate stops relying on factors like a person’s ethnicity or that they speak Spanish.

Breaking News: The Supreme Court lifted restrictions on ICE agents in Los Angeles, allowing them to make indiscriminate stops based on factors like ethnicity.

Great idea.

Very fun collaborating with the Russell lab on this one. Tireless efforts of Dr. Truc (Cloe) Losier to bring this across the finish line.

Molecular and neural control of social hierarchy by a forebrain-thalamocortical circuit Social hierarchy in unfamiliar male mice is regulated by the mediodorsal thalamus acting as a hub whose altered expression of the voltage-gated ion channel Trpm3 and synaptic plasticity drive inhibiti...

Another excellent study by @dulaclab.bsky.social and collaborators. This new @cp-cell.bsky.social study uncovers a key role for the thalamus in the neural control of social hierarchy 🧪🧠🧬

The White House is taking new steps to undermine every international student at our universities.

It has approved a new rule restricting student visas to 4 years max. That's not long enough for PhD students, or about half of undergrads, to finish their degree.

Likely to enter force within days.

Canada plans a 15% budget cut. Scientists are alarmed Cuts could erase promised boost, researchers fear

Carney is planing 15% budget cuts across most of government. @supportourscience.bsky.social and @u15ca.bsky.social worry what that would do to a research system that is already lagging behind other countries. My story for @science.org 🧪

Patch clampers: we got an error 52 on our Leica vibracheck and the normal "blow on it like a nintendo in the 80s" fix didn't work. Nor did a cleaning of the LED and diode. LED does shine. Has anyone else had such an issue and managed to resurrect this very simple but stupidly expensive thing?

Le Pantruche near Montmartre is quite good, but needs a reservation

The NIH budget will INCREASE by $400 million — not slashed by 40%, as Trump proposed — according to a proposal by Senate appropriators, says Sen Murray.

"Some have asked if there will even be an NIH by [2029]. The commmittee's resounding message is yes—Congress has your back", she says.

I've received comments like "these two subaims should switch place", as if we are doing experiments strictly by this order without any flexibility.

Ugh they should cut a bunch of stupid programs and increase the CIHR project grant success rate instead....

It’s always a bit awkward to write about personal experiences. I tried to touch on what Pride means to me and ended up reflecting on heteronormativity, passing, and allyship. Thank you @slefkopoulos.bsky.social for the great opportunity! @ucph.bsky.social

OK, researchers: the government is almost certainly going to renege on its 2024 pledge of increased funding for research - on top of that, we're looking at potential cuts of 15%.

So: if you were advising ISED, what would you say we could do without? Where would 15% cuts cause the least damage?
