New preprint from our lab!

[Rick Zirkel @Rick_Zirkel]

Excited to share our latest work is up on bioRxiv! Looking at capillary flow speed changes we show that psilocybin prolongs the neurovascular coupling response to a visual stimulus. 🍄🔬🧠🩸

[SigmaXi @SigmaXiSociety]

Federal funding for scientific research is under unprecedented threat. Sigma Xi encourages graduate, post-doctoral, and faculty-level researchers to join The McClintock Letters Initiative.

Sign up and write a letter to share what your research is about, why it matters, and why science is worth investing in. The goal of the collective, started by 20+ grad groups across the U.S., is to publish over 1,000 op-eds across the country the week of June 16th.

@R_H_Ebright Researchers who want to communicate the importance of their federally funded science should participate in the McClintock Letters initiative by a national science policy collective including the organizers of Stand Up for Science!! https://t.co/EfkHhf2Fqc

I'll be on a panel tomorrow with my friend Mark Bayer talking about how science can (and should) influence policymaking.

[eCornell @ecornell_online]

Join @CornellEng prof @chris_schaffer and fmr U.S. Senate and House of Rep. Chief of Staff @BayerStrategic for our live event, "The Sounds of Science: How to Get Scientific Research and Evidence Heard by Policymakers" on 3/18 @ 1pm ET.

Tonight 7pm @nstarithaca #ScienceOnTap @CornellBME @Chris_Schaffer
RT @gwiscornell: Mark your calendar's for March's #ScienceOnTap where Professor @chris_schaffer will talk to us about Alzheimer's disease and paths to scientific discovery!

[Nature Neuroscience @NatureNeuro]

Stalled blood flow in cortical capillaries of #Alzheimer's disease model mice is largely due to stuck #neutrophils, and reducing their adhesion rapidly increased blood flow and improved memory performance https://t.co/DFw65Nz1TT

[Cornell Biomedical Engineering @CornellBME]

"Unclogging blood flow to the brain could open the floodgates for Alzheimer’s treatment." Rock star research coming out of @Cornell @CornellBME @CornellEng @SN_Lab. with @nwtls https://t.co/AaSNeUkJC8
