An open letter to @JNJNews. Stop pursuing the secondary patent of bedaquiline. YOU KNOW that millions of people will be unable to access lifesaving treatment for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis if you extend the patent. YOU KNOW it violates your credo. https://t.co/JArPHWpmv5

This was a thrilling neuroimaging collaboration with @aniladmello and @HalieOlson that was halted by the pandemic. So excited to see it finally come to life! 🙌

[Anila D'Mello @aniladmello]

Pumped to post our preprint w/ co-first authors @HalieOlson & @kineticjohnson, 5+ years in the making 🎉 We find that personal interest significantly affects the response to language stimuli in the brain, in both neurotypical and autistic children!

MIT Media Lab Fellow Kristy Johnson believes we’re thinking about curiosity all wrong — and leaving out a huge swath of the human experience. She offers an exciting alternative: define curiosity as the ways in which an individual excels in exploring https://t.co/jCa3r2Aurw

Inspired by her son, @medialab PhD student Kristy Johnson pivoted to create technology for kids with neurodevelopmental differences. “Brains are a human cosmos, filled with so much that we recognize as beautiful but have yet to understand,” she says. https://t.co/O5uTpXKFKq

This is a heartwarming article about Kristy Johnson featured at @MIT Today. She is also a part of the @ehtelescope community. She made this beautiful array graphic for the EHT.

[Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian @CenterForAstro]

Sagittarius A*, or Sgr A*, was imaged through a global effort. Scientists at the @CenterForAstro were key players in capturing our galaxy’s black hole! #OurBlackHole

[Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian @CenterForAstro]

In the next few minutes this amazing group of @EHTelescope scientists will unveil remarkable results! 🤩

So my vacation away message should be, "Off finding a quieter place so that I can once again sing more complex songs."

[Simon Fisher @ProfSimonFisher]

It was a privilege & a pleasure to co-lead a 4th run of "Genetics & Neurobiology of Language" at the beautiful @cshlcourses Banbury campus. Huge thanks to outstanding lecturers, talented junior scientists who joined as students, our amazing TA, & all who helped make this special.
