Dear neuroscientists, bioengineers, and anyone interested in bioelectronic medicine ๐ข
I am co-chairing the 7th Bioelectronic Medicine Summit on September 28-29, 2026 at Chelsea Piers, Manhattan ๐๏ธ
Conference registration and Abstract Submissions are now open. Join us!

We should be learning from other countries...
This program transformed my career! Please apply.
@hhmi-science.bsky.social's #FreemanHrabowski Scholars Program offers early career faculty up to $10M over 10 yrs, plus salary & benefits. Postdoc? This year's competition has a program for you too. Applications open 11/3! bit.ly/4vhC0LA
To my non tech normies, PSA: when you share a link, everything after the ? is tracking. Those โquery parametersโ tell companies exactly how you arrived, what app you clicked, which ad or email sent you, sometimes a unique identifier tied to you. You can delete everything after the question mark.
Benefits from DEI:
NASAโs first crewed mission around the Moon in 50+ years includedโฆ
โ
Christina Koch (first woman on a lunar mission)
โ
Victor Glover (first Black astronaut on a lunar mission)
โ
Reid Wiseman (single Dad)
โ
Jeremy Hansen (first Canadian headed to the Moon).

Publicly funded science to explore our universe and our own precious world is a beautiful thing.
Graphical abstract showing that NMDAR immunisation drives psychosis-like behaviour in mice, while clozapine reverses this. Upper panel: arrows show NMDAR immunisation producing a mouse exhibiting psychosis-like behaviour, with clozapine reversing this effect. Lower panels: anti-NMDAR antibodies bind neuronal NMDA receptors, which are then eliminated by microglia via phagocytosis, leading to psychosis. Clozapine restores NMDA receptor levels by reducing anti-NMDAR antibody levels, consistent with an immunomodulatory mechanism of action.

I hope no one needs an MRI this year.
The world's largest producer of liquified helium is in Qatar and is shut off. We just got a notice that our supply for the year will be at least cut in half.
No one could have predicted this (unless they thought about it).
A great honor to have 2025 Brain Prize recipient Professor Frank Winkler come and give a talk at the Feinstein Institutes @northwellhealth.bsky.social about recent work in cancer neuroscience! @winklerlab.bsky.social
Well done. Every news outlet should run a piece like this.
By my age, you will have lost someone to cancer. Or cardiovascular disease. Or another disease NIH funding combats. You will wish you had more time with them. Thatโs what NIH funding does. Buys us time with the people we love.

Have you seen the vagus nerve in action?
The lab of @changsbrain.bsky.social watched cytokine signals along vagus nerve fibers, using a miniaturized microscope!

OpenAI announces ChatGPT is now at the level of real scientific reviewers, โIt just tells you to do single-cell RNAseq in response to every queryโ says Sam Altman
1% grant scores, not getting funded.
Thank you again @michaeldgreen.phd for speaking out.
I don't know what bothers me more:
Director Bhattacharya's callousness that damaging the careers of talented young scientists is "the cost of doing business" for his politics
or
His ignorance and lack of imagination about experimental design.
Please share widely--there are rallies planned across the nation--look for one near you

๐จ New Paper from UP NExT (Univ. Pitt NeuralEngineering Cross-Translation): We discovered that microglia the brainโs immune cells, aren't just a "cleanup crew". During brain stimulation, they act as hidden neural modulators, actively monitoring and contacting neurons to help manage circuit stability.
Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. Itโs always a matter of will not resources.

hi Jeremy, were there any new R01s or R35s issued from NIGMS? Many thanks for doing this!
