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...

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.

How basic neuroscience has paved the path to new drugs A growing list of medications—such as zuranolone for postpartum depression, suzetrigine for pain, and the gepants class of migraine medicines—exist because of insights from basic research.

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!

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!
