A post on X by Paris Schutz (@paschutz ), a CBS Chicago reporter, timestamped 23 hours ago, includes a photo of a car with a damaged hood and text overlay. The post reports that journalist Asal Rezaei was doing her job when an ICE agent shot directly at her car today, unprovoked, with chemicals entering through an open window, causing her to feel sick for two hours. It mentions no protester was in sight, and she was simply driving by to check the scene, about 50 feet from the entrance, an area local authorities and news organizations have been monitoring for weeks. The post also notes this incident follows the detention and release of journalist Steve Held the previous day.

ICE is out of control. They must be reined in.

Trump Slammed For Posting Overtly Racist AI Video Attacking Democratic Leaders After Meeting

Disgusting behavior from a so-called "leader."

I have to take this Research Security training to be eligible to submit Federal grants and as I'm going through it the contrast between what is being presented and how the current Federal administration is acting is enraging

A grant showing the number of projects funded for FY2021 through FY2025. The number for FY2025 lagged behind and did not catch up with 4014 fewer projects funded in FY2025 compared with FY2024.

Here are the results in terms of the number of projects.

The number of funded projects in FY2025 is 4014 fewer than the number for FY2024.

Finally, I’m currently on the job market, and would love to hear about any open faculty positions you have in your department!

I’m interested in tenure track positions both in the US and abroad.

Very excited and proud to share my postdoctoral research with @neurrriot.bsky.social looking at the context-specific encoding of social behavior 💃🕺 in hormone-sensitive, large-scale brain networks in mice!

Huntington's disease successfully treated for first time One of the most devastating diseases finally has a treatment that can slow its progression and transform lives, tearful doctors tell BBC.

In the early years of my PhD I remember being asked if we'd ever treat or cure diseases like HIV or Huntington's. I remember saying maybe, but not knowing if I believed. Seeing research pay off as real impact on human lives is - incredible.

A huge shoutout to all the dedicated grants management specialists at the NIH who are working around the clock to push grants out before the Sep 30 deadline. And also to the POs responding to frantic emails.
Not an easy job under the best of circumstances and right now it's the pits.
Thank you!

A graph of the US population that is left-handed, by birth year. It drops from about 5% to a low of a little more than 3% from ~1890 to ~1910. It then rises steadily to about 12% around 1950, and stays at 12% out to 2000.

This is the graph we show whenever someone talks about how back in the old days there weren't (people who are not whoever the person speaking thinks are the default).

Mostly we do this to underscore that a rise in apparent frequency isn't always a rise in real frequency.

Gov. Greg Abbott pardons Daniel Perry, veteran who killed police brutality protester in 2020 A Travis County jury sentenced Perry to 25 years in prison last year, prompting Abbott to ask the state parole board to review his case.

I am just going to keep posting that the TX governor recently pardoned a political murderer.

The dude texted "I'm going to shoot protestors", then went and shot a Black Lives Matter protester. He was convicted in a jury trial.

Hard to find a more blatant example of celebrating political violence.

Really proud of huge collaborative efforts from several teams in Translational Neuroscience Division @lieberinstitute.bsky.social w/ labs of @stephaniehicks.bsky.social and @alexisbattle.bsky.social to provide this resource on cell types and spatial organization in nucleus accumbens of human 🧠

Oh to be a little Tardigrade scratching its back on a bubble. 🫧🐻🧪

Graph titled "value of grants awarded in 2025 has caught up to average of previous years." Graph shows average of 2016-24 spending and how much has been spent so far in FY25

Graph titled "Amount of first-year R01 and R21 grants." Graph compares average of 2016-24 to 2025.

It's been a busy time for NIH grants staff — the agency seems on track to spend its budget this fiscal year

But, because of multi-year funding, fewer projects are being funded than in previous years.

The number of R grants has fallen from 5,633 to 3,758

I'm not on the committee, but happy to talk if you're interested.

It is quite simply dishonest to describe TPUSA as a “free speech” organization and not even mention the “Professor Watchlist,” as NPR just did. Reporting on a crime does not entail adopting the victim’s views.

The left overwhelmingly has condemned the killing of Kirk and offered condolences to his family in this terrible time. The right has declared “war” and demanded revenge before we even have a suspect in custody.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov's take on Kirk is the correct one:

"Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

On point. So glad Democrats are saying this.

Three high-ranking FBI officials were fired last month in a “campaign of retribution” carried out by a director who knew better but caved to political pressure from the Trump administration so he could keep his own position, according to a federal lawsuit filed Wednesday. https://to.pbs.org/46nMde2

National Guard documents show public ‘fear,’ troops’ ‘shame’ over D.C. presence Internal documents reviewed by The Post reveal, with rare candor, how domestic missions rooted in politics risk damaging Americans’ trust in the military.

“A National Guard official acknowledged the documents are authentic but downplayed their sensitivity, saying the assessments are intended for internal use and were inadvertently emailed to The Post last week.”

“I don’t care whether it’s a Republican president or a Democrat president,” said Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, once a Trump rival for the White House. “We can’t just want to kill people without having some kind of process.” https://to.pbs.org/4m7JBGM

I once had a student explicitly argue that he was the customer to be catered to.

I explained that, if we *had* to use the customer framing, he wasn't the customer but the product. He was being given an education & then a degree that future employers would see value in.

My job? Quality control.

aaaaaaaaand just had an R13 withdrawn (funding for a scientific conference) because there is a European co-vice-chair and we and the conference staff that submitted the grant did not provide a foreign justification.

If your hypothesis is: Tylenol use during pregnancy & folate deficiency is linked to autism.

Then your job is to go out and find as much evidence as possible to absolutely demolish that hypothesis. That is how science works.

Republicans have it all backwards. They want to prove their hypotheses.
