*Every single* cure for a disease ultimately flowed from basic exploratory research. Stopping basic research is like stopping the mountain rains and expecting rivers of cures to still flow. Examples:
1) studying saliva of Gila monster -> GLP1's
2) studying funghi -> first statins
3) mRNA biology -> gene therapy for spinal atrophy
4) studying bacterial genetics -> CRISPR gene therapies
5) studies of nuclear magnetic resonance -> MRI scans
this list can go on and on. Not only in biology but all aspects of technology.... e.g.
6) curvature of spacetime -> GPS
7) quantum mechanics -> semiconductors
8) electromagnetism -> fiber optics -> internet
...

“Where was I again?”
Our study published today https://t.co/SssPQUDv7l reveals brain cells can form a coordinate system for our behaviours. Instead of locating where we are in the world, this coordinate system tells us “where we are” in a sequence of behaviours: 🧵below:

It’s okay if you don’t feel sparkly today. It's cool if you're not feeling it. Step back for a bit. There’s just one problem.

You already sparkle. Maybe you don’t see it, but others do. You belong, just like every star in this star cluster belongs.

Congratulations to the #XRISM instrument teams! Resolve (the microcalorimeter) has even better energy resolution than its requirement, and look at that beautiful image from Xtend! Excited for all the AGN science to come :)
