Er is iets met ze gebeurd in de VS denk ik. Dat snap ik wel - dat is een desoriënterend land om in te wonen.

The biggest problem holding neuroscience back right now isn’t data or tools, thanks in large part to the BRAIN Initiative. It’s fragmentation across species. I wrote this to hopefully spark discussion around an issue that can only be solved as a community👇 www.thetransmitter.org/animal-model...

Neuroscience has a species problem

If neuroscience is serious about building general principles of brain function, cross-species dialogue must become a core organizing principle.

Maybe, but I think the key thing here is public pressure

This ‘accountability’ of the Dutch government only appeared after years of relentless investigation by stubborn MPs and building public pressure became untenable. Politicians will be politicians.

Today is the 145th anniversary of the birth of Nicolas Achucarro Lund. In 2012 we launched Achucarro Basque Center for Neuroscience, centred in the study of #glialcells in #health and #disease to honour his legacy.

Cool, I have validated D1 and D2, and have V1AR and D3 cloned as well. Eventually we’ll get everything CRISPRed :)

The European federation of Academies of Sciences has posted a statement of concern about the developments in the US. They now have added the option to endorse this statement as an organisation. Would be great if this could go viral. allea.org/portfolio-it...

@sbn-bsky.bsky.social has released a statement on current events. SBN DEI comm, of which I'm chair, wrote this statement to be people-first focused on the human impacts. I want to thank Peg McCarthy & the Exec Comm in quickly approving the document w/ few edits. This is why SBN is my "home" society.

Ik ben het totaal met je eens. Zeven jaar daar gewoond, 19 januari vertrokken. Ik zag iets aankomen maar dit gaat mijn voorstellingsvermogen te boven. Wat een vreselijke ramp, dit gaat echt onvoorstelbare effecten hebben.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Doing some pre-SfN sightseeing. What a great city for cyclists. Also come learn what oxytocin signaling does to neural transcription today. Board SS20: 1-5pm. #neuroskyence

Remember you interviewed me but I started explaining the wrong project? I have a poster about that project, so I invite you to drop by tomorrow at SS20 between 1-5pm. It’s about what oxytocin signaling does to neural transcription (=a lot).
