‘Dawn Staley’
would’ve been so easy to spell.

Put some more respect on her name.
Coach Dawn Staley!!!!

Congratulations to the GOAT!!!

Here here for retiring an often overgeneralized M1-M2 binary phenotypic framework. #macrophages express an incredible large array of sensome receptors that allow them to tailor their phenotype and reactions to the needs of incredibly local environments. #neuroskyence #immunosky #glia

Awesome discussion for those of us who love resident #macrophages in all their forms, and wonder what allows some to be be self renewing

An announcement that the Senate voted to reauthroize the SBIR/STTR program.

The Senate has (finally) voted to reauthorize the small business SBIR/STTR program.

Not reauthorized yet, but this was likely the biggest hurdle.

Worth a read: de-siloing research is critical for understanding brain function, brain health and innovative treatment and repair paradigms- as noted here, to do so means it’s critical to utilize observed differences and concordance between species and studies #neuroskyence #glia

🚨Do we need a large, expensive MRI scanner to map whole-brain networks in the mouse? Not necessarily!

In our new preprint ▶️ tinyurl.com/3a2h4r9f
we show that transcranial functional ultrasound (fUSI) can map connectome-scale networks with striking agreement to fMRI

Whatever Happened to Jessica Chastain's Show on Domestic Terrorism? Five months after 'The Savant,' Jessica Chastain’s show on domestic terrorism, was set for release, its fate is still uncertain, and no one is talking

Celebrities and talent who do shows for Apple TV should publicly ask the company when SAVANT will be released and why they pulled a show about white supremacists and domestic terrorism? (We know why but pressure them.)

#measles is dangerous. ~30% of cases result in serious complications, particularly in children <5 & adults >30.
Bonus: Measles causes "immune amnesia", wiping out ~70% of immune memory cells, eliminating body’s immune toolkit gained in past infections, increasing vulnerability to all infections

“The Obamas are competent, classy, loving, Harvard and Princeton graduates, loved by many, not in the Epstein files, got the Nobel Peace Prize, and gave us a steady economy to boot…”

Could high levels of estrogen, during, say, perimenopause, be a risk factor for stress related cognitive decline and dementia in women? @ajshackman.bsky.social @thebalelab.bsky.social @bangasserlab.bsky.social

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country.

As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

The statement from Alex Pretti’s parents is just “tell the government to stop telling smirking, transparent lies about why it killed our son” which feels like a new low for our nation. This president and his toadies have brought us to our knees and must be driven out

Koh: Trump has now spent $30 billion from the last bill for 10,000 more I.C.E. Agents that are going to be on the streets. That $30 billion would cover all the ACA subsidies for a year. It would eliminate all co-pays for prescription drugs for people from a year, and eliminate all medical debt.
