Sleep deprivation after socialization disrupts memory consolidation in mice by blocking access to social memories, but this social amnesia can be reversed through treatment, according to a new study. https://t.co/jdgkYVxU6A

“A Kumbh stampede is big news. But the bigger picture is that so many crores of devotees came and went unharmed, that deaths from stampedes, even in a crowded country like India, are only a fraction of total deaths from various causes.”

Do you have no shame left, @timesofindia?

Fruitvliegjes lijken elkaar ’s nachts wakker te houden door tikkertje te spelen, ontdekte Adithya Sarma tijdens zijn onderzoek naar het verband tussen sociale interactie en slaap. Maar waarom? ‘Misschien plagen ze elkaar gewoon.’ https://t.co/j9TTvfqJzq

[David Rowland @DavidCRowland]

Here it is! A huge milestone in neuroscience – the complete connectome of the fly brain from the FlyWire team (@FlyWireNews). In this special issue, we have 9 research articles. I’ll try to summarize them in a couple threads starting here 🧵

[FlyWire @FlyWireNews]

Big news! The fly connectome is featured on the cover of a special edition of Nature.
This is all possible thanks to the collaboration of 292 members of The FlyWire Consortium!

"Bullying is a means for mediocre scientists to rise to the top. Some star academics reached their position because they are bullies, not in spite of it." - Excellent piece about bullying in academia (and really any other professional environment). https://t.co/JTqGBaAuuf

@roshni_ann @VAzuaralab @t_rayon This is the best news ever! Congratulations rosh! You did it!! :D OMG I am so happy!

Here’s a shout out to all the women & girls in #STEM. May you be free to pursue your curiosity & always feed supported to do so.

Read a paper that casually mentioned they trained on 330,000 synthesized molecules at a pharma company. They won't share this data, so it will be replicated over and over. We could reduce animal, economic, and environmental burden so much by sharing data from completed projects.

Human-Approved Medication Brings Back ‘Lost’ Memories in Mice

Roflumilast, a drug commonly prescribed for the treatment of COPD and asthma helps retrieve learning memories following a period of sleep deprivation in mice.

It is a much needed change indeed. Eager to see how it plays out practically.

[eLife - the journal @eLife]

Today, we’re introducing a new model that eliminates accept/reject decisions.

By publishing every paper with eLife reviews as a Reviewed Preprint, we plan to restore autonomy to authors, ensuring that they will be judged by what, not where, they publish. https://t.co/OAsiOVFStI

[ARCHIVED NASA Exoplanets @NASAExoplanets]

The misconception that there is no sound in space originates because most space is a ~vacuum, providing no way for sound waves to travel. A galaxy cluster has so much gas that we've picked up actual sound. Here it's amplified, and mixed with other data, to hear a black hole!
