In a 2024 Science paper, researchers detailed a nanoscale-resolution reconstruction of a millimeter-scale fragment of human cerebral cortex, giving an unprecedented view into the structural organization of brain tissue at the supracellular, cellular, and subcellular levels.

I am excited to present our new study out in @NatureMedicine where we discover a novel synaptic protein biomarker to predict if and when someone will get Alzheimer’s disease dementia. Part 2/3 from my PhD work in the @wysscoray lab. 🧵1/12

I have no freakin comment on this, but here’s an amazing NOAA/NHC meteorologist. Absolutely insane… people will die because of this.

NIH cuts are getting the press, but VA research is being slashed too. What do we lose when VA research goes away? Here's some greatest hits: The nicotine patch, the cardiac pacemaker, first successful liver transplant, development of the CAT/CT scan

My staff and I are closely tracking the potential measles exposure in San Antonio that originated with a visitor from West Texas.

If you visited any of the locations listed below, please watch out for symptoms (including fever or unexplained rash) and contact a doctor right away if they occur. Measles is extremely contagious and can be especially dangerous for children.

Many CVS, Walgreens, and H-E-B pharmacies offer safe and effective measles vaccines. To learn more about the MMR vaccine, visit this link: https://t.co/1ulppUzAx1

Scripps Research mourns the passing of Floyd E. Bloom, MD, a pioneering neuroscientist and former chair of Neuropharmacology. At Scripps Research, he advanced research on neurotransmitters, addiction, and brain function, shaping modern neuroscience.

NIH fosters breakthroughs that profoundly affect how diseases are understood, prevented, and treated. These discoveries enhance health and longevity in the US and the world. NIH is a cornerstone of innovation so it is bizarre that it is under attack

Fully endorse faculty/trainees advocating for science BUT please also ask your Chair, Dean, @ass_deans ,uni media relations (i.e. folks who benefit from overhead generated by YOUR grants) and ask them how are they advocating & lobbying for scientists & trainees in your university

[Nicole C Rust, PhD @NicoleCRust]

In the era of DOGE and such, what can each of us do for science? Here, in @_TheTransmitter, we're advocating for every scientist and friend-of to do one public-facing thing. Imagine the cumulative impact it could make!
