Neuroscientist. Dopamine et al. Parkinson's. Cyclist. Environmental activist who preaches by example. If it is to be, it is up to me. Knowledge is power, France is bacon.

The world-renowned primatologist Jane Goodall has died at the age of 91, her institute has said.

“Dr Goodall’s discoveries as an ethologist revolutionised science,” the statement read. “She was a tireless advocate for the protection and restoration of our natural world.”

The Stupidest Speech in UN History Everyone's saying so!

The Stupidest Speech in UN History! “Everyone’s saying so,” writes @billmckibben.bsky.social

“the shots of delegates looking on in disbelief as Trump vented about broken escalators, MAGA hats, & his general greatness for nearly an hour (ignoring the 15min time limit…)”

Global embarrassment. Joke.

The NIH is exploring how to improve access to research and manage publishing costs. We shared a response grounded in #OpenScience.

We recommend:
🔹 Requiring preprints
🔹 Funding preprint infrastructure
🔹 Supporting services that add real value to research

In fact, the problem is not the urban planner, but the politician who does not ask the urban planner to propose a plan to implant a protected bike lane.

Scientists fear political meddling after Ontario premier vows to 'catch' anyone testing on dogs | CBC News Some researchers say they're concerned about possible political interference in science after Ontario Premier Doug Ford said he'd be "hunting down" scientists who use dogs and cats in medical studies.

This is a really good article. And
my friend Arthur Brown did a great job Politicians should not sow distrust in science 🧪 and I am hoping the recent emotional reponse from our Premier gets a strong answer from Universities All animal research has strict oversight www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Why do people accept to add "Created with Biorender" on their figures, presented at scientific meetings, on posters and in theses? Would you accept to add "Manuscript written in Microsoft Word" or "Manuscript prepared on a Apple computer" on your figures? This non-sense needs to stop.

Check out our new review/perspective (w/ @juangallego.bsky.social & Devika Narain) on neural manifolds in the brain! It was a lot of fun to think through these ideas over the past couple of years, and I'm excited it's finally out in the world!
