“Science is a smart, low cost investment. The costs of not investing in it are higher than the risk of doing so… talk to people about science.” - @kevinochsner.bsky.social makes his case to the field #sans2025
There are great conferences and science in the US, but with the way things are right now, it’s too risky to attend.

Come by poster #34 at #SCMND to see some cool pictures of Lewy Pathology in cortical and dopaminergic neurons! 😁🧫
(And learn about how Lewy bodies form, what effect they have on cells, and what cell characterisrics make them vulnerable and resilient in AD and PD 🙂)
Biologists have built one of the most detailed pictures ever of the changes that occur in women’s bodies before and after pregnancy, by pooling and studying around 44 million physiological measurements from more than 300,000 births

Science Under Threat in the United States
A new series of articles in @elife.bsky.social
Five articles published so far

More articles coming tomorrow
#standupforscience
Why?
Always a pleasure to showcase our work to future generations of scientists!!! 🧫🎉🧠
Infographic showcasing proportion of female scientists and engineers across EU countries.
On International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we celebrate the women shaping the future of science 👩🔬
In 2023, women made up only 41% of scientists and engineers in the EU. Denmark has the highest representation of female scientists and engineers (50.8%), while Hungary has the lowest (30.7%).

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.
Something to keep in mind for 2025
Written by James Miller of A Small Fiction
Two scientists share an office. The first, whose half of the room is neat and tidy, says “My new year's resolutions are to jog to work every day, choose the healthy option at lunch, and run a pleasant, well-ordered workspace.” The second, working in a total mess, replies “In the interests of scientific rigour, I'll be the control, and change absolutely nothing.”
Happy New Year!

Five minutes after arriving home on any holiday if you're a scientist...
Did I leave the -80 C open?
One of my most epic ones was principal instigator instead of investigator on a CV
Remember to take care of yourself
Would love to be added! Thanks for the effort!
OK If we are moving to Bluesky I am rescuing my favourite ever twitter thread (Jan 2019).
The renamed:
Bluesky-sized history of neuroscience (biased by my interests)
“ ‘When someone seeks,’ said Siddhartha, ‘then it easily happens that his eyes see only the thing that he seeks, and he is able to find nothing, to take in nothing. [...] Seeking means: having a goal. But finding means: being free, being open, having no goal.’ ” Hermann Hesse
Doing good science is 90% finding a science buddy to constantly talk to about the project.
As someone who once put a bucket over a half million scope because of rain coming through the ceiling at a world class university, this checks out.
As you sit with your feet up this weekend, spare a thought for this nine-strong team from the @who.int heading off into the unknown.
They're risking their necks to keep us safe. Let's hope they don't find a new Disease X.
