Just fund independent, nonpartisan, public service journalism, you fools.

We literally have fewer news analysts, reporters, and journalists left in the US than people in the coal mining industry! Why are billionaires setting cash on fire on a bunch of dorks?

My first piece with @thewarhorsenews.bsky.social
is a story about the legacies of war in Southeast Asia and the American veterans returning there to help heal old wounds (theirs and others).

Colleague of Harvard scientist held by ICE warns that foreign scientists are scared Harvard scientist Kseniia Petrova has been in ICE custody for about two months. Her colleague and friend Leon Peshkin says her case is causing some scientists to reconsider working in the U.S.

MS Patients Turn to Ibogaine But Research Has Only Just Begun - Lucid News A case report on two patients with multiple sclerosis has sparked hope, caution, and calls to expand the limited research data on ibogaine as a possible treatment for MS.

I also spoke with patients who have undeniably shown signs of dramatic improvement in the hallmark symptoms of MS after completing their first ibogaine treatment.

Full story here: www.lucid.news/ms-patients-...

about how to evaluate the drug’s effectiveness and where the research needs to go from here.

I spoke with leading experts in MS research and treatment, and they expressed strong reservations about giving patients the most powerful
#psychedelic drug known to man.

My return to #LucidNews !!!

After years of scattered anecdotal reports of #multiplesclerosis patients having positive experiences with #ibogaine therapy, a case study featuring two patients with different variants of the incurable central nervous system disease raises questions…

It was a pleasure and a privilege to work alongside my friend and colleague @alexip718.com for @thexylom.com covering #StandUpforScience2025
You can see some of the best images we captured from the day here:

Always a pleasure, Alex!

Thank you to my colleague + former classmate @noahdaly.bsky.social for pitching the story (it's always exciting to do an @mitsciwrite.bsky.social crossover), and @jrmorber.bsky.social for taking on a last-minute assignment!

An important point, Carey! FWIW LeCun received a far frostier welcome than the other speakers handed the mic today… 🥶

This compelling image was taken when I attended the March for Science rally in Los Angeles in 2017. Today, we face even greater threats. Where will you #StandUpForScience today? There is no Planet B.

“People are scared,” Birnbaum says. “I think it’s really important that our government recognizes the value of scientific work. So many dominoes are going to fall if we don’t continue funding diverse and inclusive scientific research.”

Birnbaum has spent the last several years working on a therapeutic that increases cells speed and capacity to heal wounds and regenerate damaged nerve endings. It would allow the body to heal wounds twice as fast. Without the two govt grants she was promised, this research will be put on hold.

In an interview with @thexylom.com Rayna Birnbaum, PhD, a post-doc at Albert Einstein University and an organizer of the #StandUpforScience2025 rally in #NYC rally has had two of her grants frozen by recent NIH cuts.

After LeCun’s remarks, I found Victor Schuster, a Biomedical Researcher at Albert Einstein University who studies the overproduction of fat cells in humans, carrying a sign corroborating the above stat. Asking for his source, he smiled and said “NIH.gov”

A French national, LeCun adds he came to #USA “because of the vitality of the scientific climate here.” LeCun says that many people working in the sciences he knows came to the US for this same reason. “Without it, they’re out of here.” Since 2000, 40% of US Nobel Laureates have been immigrants.

LeCun, who’s gained social media fame responding to Elon Musk, seeming to acknowledge he works in a controversial role as head of AI at #Meta, adding “we need more #humanintelligence in government.”

Yann LeCun, Turing Prize-winner, Chief AI Scientist at Meta, and the Silver Professor of the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at #NYU reminds the audience at #StandUpforScience2025 that the seeds of new scientific discoveries are planted with government funding to universities.

Quoting John Dewey to #StandUpforScience2025 in #NYC “Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination.” she continues, “We must also be audacious our outreach, audacious in our defense, and audacious in our defiance.”
