They're just throwing the word neuroscience around these days. Oh look macrotubules. #neuroskyence

Rest In Power madam 🙏

I received emails from publishers that my manuscript passed the final evaluation. I also received heartbreaking rejections.

Matira matibay haha

Christmas decorations around our uni campus. It's f*cking OCTOBER. 😭

In our code, in our careers, and in our communities, let’s be the ones who stand for facts. Let’s be the ones who build for trust. Let’s fight for a shared reality worthy of our democracy.

I lectured to computer science students who were fairly young during Duterte's regime almost a decade ago. Alongside my experiences as an activist, I drove home a key fact: the Philippines was "patient zero" for disinformation campaigns, a history we cannot afford to forget.

Gen Zs are building opportunities for themselves. The older generations have forgotten to serve the people from where they came from for DECADES, and are now struggling to find competent foreign Gen Zs to replace them because your system is whack.

But those who refuse and would like to stay in the brain-drain system under Trump, go to hell.

I understood why international grants were rejected during the Duterte's regime. The country received no help from these foundations. But now we have our own gov programs that encourage Filipino scientists abroad to come back to their homeland.

but still have done nothing to improve the neuroscience situation in the Philippines while enjoying their American salary,
GO TO HELL.

To the Filipino-American neuroscientists who are in leadership roles but don't belong to any communities in their homeland or have no connection with the local academe,yet used their Filipino diversity card during interviews and gave false promise that they will eventually help their local community

Sorry rant.
The president of Dana Foundation is Filipino, but there's not a single university in the Philippines that offers a neuroscience course. ☹️I know very few neurotech labs but there's no institution for other neuroscience research. No visible neuroscientists in the country.

Be one of the stars now. You're home.

Many years ago, I found you as a stray cat at a shop and the shop's owner gave you to me in a box. I happily brought you home.

Received a message from my sibling that my cat died. Rest in Peace, Sky. ☁️ I'm away from home, sorry. :(

It hurts more when you're judged by smart people tbh. But don't do this cancel culture toward people who have poor mental health, it could kill them. Or don't do it at all.

Cancel culture sucks. People have asked me how I was feeling when my opinions were blown out of proportion. Perhaps I am lucky to be accustomed to criticism because I am surrounded by academics and scientists who are more harsh in their judgment.

When I was younger I used to hand out free brain stickers during book fairs. Here are some of the works by other artists from our Neuroscience organization. 🇵🇭

I grew up as an activist in the floating slums, a background that taught me to fight for my dreams no matter the battlefield. Now, I'm fighting for the future of science in my country.

Help me reach these goals by buying me a coffee. ☕

I was the youngest member of the Society for Neuroscience when I joined only as a teenager. And I'm lucky to have incredible mentors.

I also accept commissions for traditional paintings to support this journey.

I made an effort in my presentation and just wanted it to be over. But the professor wants me to repeat it in another class because I did too well. 😭

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).

But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

Read just this brief excerpt from her book and you'll marvel at a) how prescient she was and b) how SV hasn't really changed.

Fascinating.

There's a point, around the age of twenty, when you have to choose whether to be like everybody else the rest of your life, or to make a virtue of your peculiarities.
