#fluorescencefriday distribution of microglia in the whole brain

Blue and grey quilt hangs on a clothes line in a snowy backyard.

Close up of corner of the quilt showing neuron quilted border.

Snowtime quilt. I like the pattern and color way. I tried a garland of neurons around the border, I don't think I like it but too late now. Gift for a 'retiring' colleague.

Opinion | What Are We Thinking?

Neuroscience is moving away from a modular view of the brain because the brain is not modular. It is network of murmuring neurons. Great metaphor by @pessoabrain.bsky.social

Making silly things is pretty much my only source of joy lately.

My cousin suggested that one! I find it hilarious.

No, I'm not selling them. I don't have time or energy for that.

If I'm feeling nice though I'll give you one.

A series of block printed and embroidered patches that are puns on quilting and hardcore bands

I have finished my quilt x hardcore patch collection and I am proud.

For you my friend

“adoption of AI in science presents what seems to be a paradox: an expansion of individual scientists’ impact but a contraction in collective science’s reach, as AI-augmented work moves collectively towards areas richest in data...

It's ok! A lot of folks have suggested good band name puns, but if they don't have a good image it's not worth a patch. Yours starts with a good image which rules

I have yet to think of a creative way to make him a quilter, but it's in my drafts folder for sure

There are overlaps

Black and white patches on a cutting mat, patches are a bunch of puns on hardcore and punk bands plus quilting.

More patches. I think I'll make like 2 or 3 more.

Chronic pain could be eased by uncoupling the sensory and emotional experiences Researchers identify the neurons involved in the emotional distress associated with pain, and design a genetic approach that could soothe suffering without opioid drugs.

Yay! Congratulations!

Perfection

Black fabric with white logos for the misfits, black flag, crass and straight edge reimagined as quilting and sewing jokes.

Personally I find these hilarious.

Extremely excited & proud to share our new preprint - we provide for the first time a single cell map of the mouse brain across sex, the estrous cycle, and peripartum! Data are 🔥 👇

This is the way

I wanted to do something with 'out of step' that was the sheep and said 'out of thread' but it's not fully developed yet

I remember this shirt from college, please remake. Cutting out stencils is as fun as it always was

I have a few more in the works, but am open to additional punk or hardcore suggestions.

Stenciled patch with an iron that says "Seam by seam, block by block pressing it all flat"

I'm working on a jumpsuit to wear to QuiltCon. I've decided to make patches for hardcore bands but make them quilting related.

Today I finished the back patch. My partner thinks it's too niche and the overlap between vegan hardcore and quilting is just me.

Thank youuuu I hope you had the exact new years eve and new year you dream of.

First quilt of the year, starting with creation and hoping to maintain.

Director of NIH neurological disorders institute is ousted, adding to leadership churn Walter Koroshetz, director of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, will soon be leaving his role, STAT has learned. His departure

A @statnews.com exclusive from me: Walter Koroshetz, director of NIH's neurological disorders institute, has been ousted. Yet another example of NIH leadership churn. His departure means that 13 of the agency's 27 divisions will have interim leaders.

Yes please do.

Happy Christmas from the farm. I am thankful for you.

You wanted to drive the fancy car! We can all fit in the practical one.

I don't think you'll fit in the back of the car Fim wants to drive but you're welcome to try. Perhaps the frunk?
