Attn all human MRI/fMRI folks! The Dept of Psychology at Northeastern University is hiring a new Director of the NU Biomedical Imaging Center at the level of Associate or Full Professor. Bonus: you'll have the best Chair EVER 😉 Full ad here: northeastern.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/careers/job/...

TBH after almost 15 years teaching undergrads I’m all for pass/fail everything. Students who are motivated to do the work will do it and benefit from it in the long run. Otherwise there is just not enough time in the day for professors to comb through and suss out cheating.

Folks they're just going to AI the "research" on the first AI. Not sure y'all understand the motivation college students have to avoid doing real coursework.

Zohran flip your hair again we need healthcare get him to give us healthcare.

Sue Generous, you say.. <cigarette drag> now there's a name I haven't heard in a looooonnnggg time

I went to Wilder last time I was in Philly and it was very fun--lively scene and creative & tasty sharing plates, good cocktails

A male Anna’s hummingbird at the door. So nosy! 🤣

Earlier today, I was notified that someone was at my door.

This is who it was:

Uh hi this seems bad

(essentially, grant terminations will continue at you-know-who's whim)

Wow that is a lot of work (and specific ingredients) but looks awesome! Maybe a project for Christmas break.

So am I. He ain't special

His coat is so soft!!

Oh yes! All of ours are. This guy doesn’t have one

We need to take him to a vet for fixing and shots first, then we’ll figure the rest out…

They just keep showing up!

i used to think the lyric was ‘i wanna rock and roll all night / and part of every day’ and i remember thinking, honestly that sounds reasonable

Same cat rolling around in our basement and being adorable

Same cat looking cozy on the sofa in the basement

Same cat all curled up in the little bed I made him 🥹

Me: we absolutely cannot bring in another male stray cat
Also me: I’m naming him Buster Keaton!
Also me: Maybe just a little bed in the basement to keep him out of the cold

this is why the humanities should be mandatory

If the Trump administration wishes to censor us, they can try.

But it’s a sign they have no actual rebuttal to our points. If they had facts they’d use them to persuade people. They’re not doing that. What’s coming out of the Bhattacharya NIH is instead censorship, and lies.

This, right here. The best predictor of productivity is funding the damn grant.

A quick formatting PSA from me to you: if you want to use full justification in your grants, turn on hyphenation to avoid weird spacing between words and make your proposal easier to read. This move will also buy you some extra real estate!

My probably unpopular opinion is that once you get under 10% funding should be need-based

Courage personified. We MUST be LOUD in support of Jenna and LOUD in our dissent against this egregious action.

Oof this is going to be rough for NIH-funded folks who’ve already been set back. And another shutdown in January on the way just in time for council

Exactly what it says on the label: The Pope in 1982. He's wearing a black hat, dark RayBans, and looks like he's a member of the Blues Brothers.

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck?

It's the Pope in 1982.

Speaking as a government worker:

The paper that our whole professional class reads doesn’t know that it is not normal to end whole agencies lawlessly, shred the Constitution based on laughable legal justification, and kill cancer and Alzheimer’s research???

Either we have failed or they have.

donald boat ... @laserboat999 I think the most egregious part is that he thinks listening to george guidall or whichever hoary yakubian beast penguin hired to read the translation while he plays diablo with cheetodusty fingers is 1:1 equivalent with hearing a rhapsode sing-chant the poem from memory, that a sped up audiobook boneconducted into his skull will recreate the exact condition of Classical Antiquity and achieve whatever he thinks is "authentic." To the extent that he has any historical sense (he probably doesn't) it is without a doubt autopopulated by sub-Ridley-Scott tier period slop, D-graded wikipedia summaries, pop history podcasts, Grok, of course. I do think that it is a near biblical punishment to inflict on the richest man in human history with a near boundless capacity to build whatever he wants a near total lack of imagination, the inability to navigate his ignorance of any field, literally any field outside of insectile mechanical reproduction. You will see him bleat about the "West," about "Beauty." I would like to see him, or any other of these robber-baron-hopefuls to just try and build one nice-looking building, a library, a train station, maybe just one fucking cabinet and have it not look like the ugliest piece of shit on the planet. He really is the Final Boor, zero taste, trapped in the most brutal contradiction of dull-garish backwards-forwards looking (And may Allah forgive me for uttering this word) "cyberpunk" futurism. He's too far gone for me to pity him in any real way. I hope he gets to live in the world he wants, his grand fantasy, which, like his cars, is probably just a big refrigerator with an iPad in it Traducir post 8:28 p.m. • 10 nov. 2025 • 379,7 mil Visualizaciones

It is @neuroshea.bsky.social's league but yes! @bwjones.bsky.social if you want to join I think you would love this game--one round a week where you pick a song that fits a category. "Covers better than the original" was an early round, many of the top winners are in your thread.

Oh man missing both SfN and ACNP this year might break me 😭

Anyways back in olden times a red aurora meant the death of kings
