Hopeful that we can make bsky better than what this site has become: https://t.co/rPvRrbrBEJ

Downticket races cost a fraction of a Presidential campaign’s $500M. In comparison, the Senate race in Nebraska, a near-tie, is <$2 million total, both sides. Legislative races cost even less, <$100k. Your donation means a lot.

@jmstujenske @BBRFoundation Love this idea and excited to see where it goes - congratulations!!

Bonus: a late addition to the work I'm especially proud of is Fig. 10, which shows how the strength of sharp waves/ripples, and their coupling to single-unit activity, is weakened throughout dorsal and ventral hippocampus (6/6)

Final chapter of my PhD in @Neurocircuitlab now published in @PLOSCompBiol!

We know amyloid β alters neural activity, but here we found that the nature of that disruption varies across brain regions in the APP/PS1 🐁 model of #Alzheimers

Moreover, given the distinct functional roles of dorsal (cognitive/spatial) vs. ventral (affective/social) hippocampus, our results offer a way of studying the constellation of neuropsychiatric symptoms seen in patients with Alzheimer disease (5/6)

At this rate, it's only a matter of time before the ref gives ME a yellow🟨 #GERDEN #EURO2024

If you're a neuroscientist, you've probably heard that congress passed final appropriations for FY24, with deep cuts (~40%) to BRAIN Initiative. Advocates are now pushing for +$740 million in FY25 and @SfNtweets made it easy for you to add your voice here:

Had a great time celebrating our soon-to-be graduates at our annual graduation brunch! We only missed @markkenney_3, who's busy doing amazing at being a brand new dad!

[Uday Chockanathan, MD, PhD @Dockanathan]

@ThaoDVLe Congratulations Thao!

To everyone who has been shocked and depressed by the staggering 40% cut to the BRAIN Initiative: we have a voice!

Outside Witness Testimony (aka written testimony) for the FY 2025 appropriations cycle is ongoing. Deadline for the House side is Friday May 3 and the Senate side is Friday May 24.

Let's all write in with our thoughts about what this cut means for scientific progress and for medical advances to help patients suffering the most devastating neurological and psychiatric illnesses.

Please see instruction links and more information here:

It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.

@edmundlalor @JohnnyFoxe @Adobe I used Mendeley a lot in early grad school for pdf annotation (and reference management), it was working great until I hit some sort of storage limit and it would no longer let me upload pdfs

Last night, the County Legislature voted to put corporate interests over those of the people.

@CountyExecBello is largely responsible for this outcome. If he’d come out in favor of a study, the Dem majority would have passed it.

Instead he chose to carry water for RG&E (1/2)

[Rochester DSA @rocDSA]

“In my entire time living in the City of Rochester and Monroe County, I have never once heard a single person say one good thing about RG&E, and I think that is evident of the public sentiment on the issue - and it is your job to represent that.”

@LandaPrifti @UCSFPsychiatry Thanks Landa!!

So happy to share that we will be moving to San Francisco for the residency research track @UCSFPsychiatry #Match2024
