I’m starting treatment for #breastcancer today. I’m feeling strong and am sharing this news in the hope that others will get their #cancer screenings done. A routine scan likely saved my life! Pls RT @UCLAHealth @dgsomucla

“In one of the most notable moments in sports history, Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped thinking he had completed the race.

A Spanish athlete, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him, and after realizing what was happening, he started shouting at the Kenyan for him to continue running; but Mutai didn't understand his Spanish.

Fernandez eventually caught up to him and instead of passing him, he pushed him to victory.

A journalist asked Ivan, "Why did you do that?"
Ivan replied, “My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win.” The journalist insisted “But why did you let the Kenyan win?" Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was going to win.” The journalist insisted again, “But you could have won!”Ivan looked at him & replied, “But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor of that medal?
What would my Mom think of that?”

Values are transmitted from generation to generation.

What values are we teaching our children?

Let us not teach our kids the wrong ways to WIN.”

Thanks everyone for another great #VSS2023! So happy to present my new results looking at the connection between degraded visual input and cognitive functioning!

Friends, we need your help. An Wu, a postdoc from UCSD is missing post-Cosyne. We're trying to locate her. We're worried she may have been staying at a building that had a bad fire this week. If you have any information about where An was staying or last seen please contact me.

Hi hive mind, I'm looking for studies that explore time-of-day effects in resting-state electrophysiological activity (#EEG, #MEG, intracranial). If anyone has any resources or open access datasets to share, please let me know! #neuroscience #research #reproducibility

New post! "PNAS is Not a Good Journal (and Other Hard Truths about Journal Prestige)," in which I decry our ridiculous reliance on the impact factor, poke fun of the Nature Industrial Complex, and note how metascientists reinforce prestige hierarchies. https://t.co/TmdM9LFBq5

After getting sucked down some toxic political thread, this was what I needed to see to bring me back. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[Raffela Mancuso @raffela_mancuso]

I always used to feel like an outsider, buuuut the more time I spend on the internet the more I learn that we're not all that different.⁠
⁠It's cool that we can use this space to find people who are passionate about the same things, or have gone through similar experiences.
