End of an era and another tragic hit to an rc market in decline. The Dutch laboratory lizard labs, which had shouldered many parts of the community for almost a decade, is closing its doors indefinitely on December 31, 2024, per an official email.

@OshanJarow Especially since as recently as a few years ago more than one FDA employee independently told me that FDA was comfortable with unblinding and that it happened with every CNS drug.

@drrickbarnett When ’redealt’ we can see they're ’related’

[Matt Baggott @mattbagg]

@joannakempner @TehseenNoorani @NicolasLanglitz Great topic! I tried to start exploring it (and also commit my future self via public positions) in this 2020 piece: https://t.co/6KUxAmIEeG

"One thing I've learned in my decades of doing research on migraine and studying migraine patients is that we are losing so much creativity, so much innovation, so much vitality, because people are not able to go about their life, they're not able to go to work, they're not able to take care of their families."
- @joannakempner, Associate Professor – Sociology,@RutgersU on the need for greater migraine advocacy

Ok, here we go: Much of my work concerns the history and return of scientific racism. I’ve written extensively about attempts to resurrect the shuffling corpse of
race science and eugenics for many years. Bigotry dressed up as biology. 1/n

Big shout out to those researchers who made their data available in PDB over the years

The Chemistry Nobel Prize winners today relied on that open academic data to train their models

We wouldn't have these advances if researchers hadn't made 200,000 protein structures available

@Josh__Hardman I always try to make it to Hyde Park and hit Powell's, 57th Street books, and the Seminary Co-op bookstores, with breaks at Plein Air cafe and the Medici.

Ever wondered what happens in the brain when someone takes the world’s most powerful psychedelic drug?🧐Me too! So we went and found out.

Our new preprint is now live where you can read all about it:

@algekalipso Donald Campbell made some related observations in ~1969 (Plz pardon the outdated gendered pronouns.)

Few people know the LSD blotter world like countercultural scholar, Erik Davis. Read our latest interview with him about the blotter art that shaped psychedelic culture.

Really cool series of studies on our ability to process briefly presented visual stimuli

[Renzo Lanfranco @Renzo_Lanfranco]

12/12 In sum, this innovative method allowed us to uncover the visual system's processing priorities and offers a promising alternative to masking and interocular suppression. Crucially, whenever we tested for meaningful information extraction, we found evidence of awareness.

Our reporting found dozens of injured soldiers originally weren't awarded Purple Hearts, despite appearing to qualify, because for fear of undercutting Trump's assertion that the injuries were minor.

Following our report, they Army reversed course and awarded them the honor.
