The historical perspective in the background of the report from Yale is interesting, but their recommendations-- I too sometimes find myself sounding like my grandma, but no tech on any kind in classrooms? Hard line admissions? That's your forward-looking rec? president.yale.edu/sites/defaul...

Hey Mitch- so the answer isn't Dopamine?
We’re hiring! The University of Pittsburgh is recruiting a tenure-track faculty member in pain research to join the Department of Neurobiology and the Pittsburgh Center for Pain Research—an outstanding and highly collaborative community.
Please share. More here: cfopitt.taleo.net/careersectio...
A great big congratulations to her! That's wonderful to hear :)
😳😢😡
Second R01 for the lab submitted despite it all. Levi is taking all the credit for it (co-I of course).
Anyway continue calling your senators and reps. ICE has not left and we are still under a paramilitary occupation. My students are not safe and shouldn’t have to feel this way.

That's pretty interesting; as a proof of concept this is valuable, even with the caveats you mentioned.
Viral delivery of microRNA in patients with Huntington's - years of basic science at Universities, Colleges & Medical Centers make this possible. Hopeful & Exciting
Awesome article on medical breakthroughs that came from basic neuroscience research in rodents. Major success examples in postpartum depression, non-opioid pain and migraine treatment.
This is exactly why funding basic science is so important!

What could go wrong? 🤣🧐
I'll take it!
Laughing and actually crying.

Trump Administration to Stop Measuring Food Insecurity www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/u...
@ssibsociety.bsky.social
Interesting and important evaluation of measures used in people. Nice work.
We came to the same conclusion with a study comparing food reward measures. All the complex implicit measuers just aren't worth it. KISS & just ask people!

Over the next few days we will be highlighting articles from this issue. Let us know which one you want to see covered first.
In case anyone is following these grant conversions - just had an NIMH R01 converted to an RF1 and the final 2 years paid out at once instead of the regular R01 year 4.
I’m sorry I can’t hang this weekend I’m still processing learning about these ants that have been cloning and giving birth to a different species of ant for millions of years to maintain their own species survival www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Wtf! Nature is more creative than we can imagine!
