Tjusigt, Marcus!!

Och det faktum att vi betalar gruppledarlöner med egna bidrag är värt en diskussion i sig.

Det är väldigt sant. Det blir ofta fokus på inkomstsidan (fördelning av bidrag och anslag) när vi pratar forskningsfinansiering, men utgiftssidan förtjänar minst lika uppmärksamhet. Det har blivit astronomiskt dyrare under en relativt kort tidsperiod; hyror, löner, djurstallning, tillstånd, mm

BREAKING: Massive anti-U.S., pro-Greenland protests have erupted in Copenhagen

Let that sink in, one of America’s closest allies is publicly protesting out of fear we might invade their territory

So much for the claim that “the world respects the U.S. under Trump.”

The reality? It’s the opposite.

Neuroscientist can’t clean up after the Christmas tree like a normal person, without seeing traces of grid cells… (This you @m-bmoser.bsky.social ?)

- When your results take you to the brink of your methodological repertoire, it is time to expand your toolbox.
- The difference between a neuron and a nephron is often only a diphthong.

- We still really don’t understand ouabain (and only rarely how to spell it).
- One of the greatest rewards of a career in science is the international family of colleagues and friends that you build.
- Good ideas deserve the best pens.

- Neuroscientists ignore Na+K+ATPase at their own peril.
- Mulling over a scientific problem together can be the basis of some of the deepest and most enduring friendships.
- Strategies for optimizing freebie yields from vendors at conferences.

Leaving aside the personal for a moment (I have Facebook for that), I learned more from her about being a scientist than from anyone else. A few insights:
- Be wary of scientific fads; find a spot where the grass is less trampled.
- The clinic needs scientists and the lab needs physicians. (2/5)

When my mother passed away late Dec, I lost not only a parent but the one who guided me into science. A paediatric nephrologist who had an entire children’s hospital built, and a cellular physiologist whose exploration of salt balance spanned from kidney to 🧠, she was the consummate MD-PhD. (1/5).
