Excited to read this preprint by Yi Zuo's lab, using 2p imaging to track spine growth following psilocybin.

Many similarities with our findings. The new study crucially also tested dose dependence and dived deep into spine characteristics like clustering.

I did some research to try and figure out when my death date would be if there had been no treatment for my cancer. I don't know why I assumed it would be some date in the future, but, in fact, I passed the middle of the "no treatment survival" bell curve more than a year ago. Thanks chemo.

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

After months, I was finally able to combine both my hurricane landfall and return period datasets for the U.S. into one massive infographic.

I absolutely love this. What an insane map to look at!

Sometimes I wonder what the world would be like today if the charismatic actor who decided to go into politics had been Gregory Peck instead of Ronald Reagan.

Macro photo in side view of an orange ant with absolutely enormous compound eyes, filling up most of its head, standing on a tropical leaf.

This ant species is Pseudomyrmex boopis, which should be pronounced "BOOOOOOOP-is!" while bopping someone's nose, but taxonomists tell me to sit down and stop giggling and say "boo-OH-piss" like a grownup. So pronounce it however you want, I guess.

I was just talking to a friend today about Dolly Parton's Imagination Library - new books every month, totally for free, for kids ages 1-5.

My son was part of the program - this is a copy of the letter that came with his last book, right after his 5th birthday.

every time i write about wage theft i do a double take because it's so crazy

corporations steal more than $50 bn from workers' paychecks each year, illegally paying workers less than they earned for their labor

that significantly exceeds the combined losses from larceny, burglary, & vehicle theft

Evolution 101

Evolution is an empirical fact!

It's observable & measurable.
The Theory of Evolution explains how & why it occurs.

We observe evolution happening (fact) & the theory of evolution provides the mechanisms (natural selection, genetic drift, etc.) that drive it.

Best I can reckon, this would be the most people ever assembled on Boston Common in its 392 years? Would be the papal visit in '79, the last No Kings in '25, then today.
