Breathtaking beauty with Camel’s Hump towering over the snow covered hills and Mansfield socked in by clouds to the North.

It’s been an amazing #ski season already, and the next big storm is just around the corner … ❄️❄️❄️

Great science, great people, great conversations. Sharing our work and some laughs with our research team and senior leadership at the poster session in Stowe. This is what a thriving research community looks like. 🧪🏔️

How do you explain to your kid why one of his hero’s #BélaFleck cancelled his #Kennedycenter performances? We don’t do art for the money, or for political gain. The focus should be on the music. Thank you Béla for doing the right thing and being a role model for the next generation.

Stimulation of Ca2+ channel CaV1.2 activity by dopamine signaling augments spatial working memory Dopamine-induced phosphorylation of an L-type Ca2+ channel supports working memory in mice.

Great way to start the final month of the year with the publication of this collaborative work on how dopamine regulates L-type channels in #neurons.

Video Former CDC chief on agency webpage saying autism, vaccines link ignored Dr. Debra Houry, who resigned from her position as chief medical officer of the CDC in 2025, called the change on the CDC’s website "disturbing."

My thoughts on ABC news- Scientists, not political appointees, should be who advises the public on clinical guidance. RFK needs to meet with CDC career leaders and learn about the agency's responses to outbreaks and overall programs vs directing CDC website changes based on ideology not science

Totally! And the left side of this photo epitomizes pathological narcissist behavior. Great photo.

In their juvenile stage, terrestrial Eastern Newts (Notophthalmus viridescens), also known as red efts, produce tetrodotoxin, the same NaV channel blocking-neurotoxin as pufferfish. The striking coloration is an aposematism.

Emergency medicine physician-scientist superstar Debra Houry resigned her post as Chief Medical Officer of the CDC yesterday, along with other top officials. This is terrible news. American public health is being completely gutted by this administration.

House Democrats are voting HELL NO YouTube video by Rep. Jeffries

Just took to the House Floor to speak in support of a country where everyone can afford to live the good life.

And in strong opposition to Trump’s One Big Ugly Bill that is devastating to everyday Americans.

We will not be silenced.

Another reason why I love #Vermont:

Our first-of-its kind law that bars schools from using social media platforms to communicate or engage in academic and extracurricular activities with students, along with banning cell phones in schools.
