Every once in a while I still get to do fun things and take #FluorescenceFriday pictures. Here's a nice one in the striatum showing dual innervation from M2 (green) and CM nucleus of the thalamus (magenta).

We did something fun with @aaronschatz.com and @invisibae.bsky.social — we think we know the weeks Derrick Henry will become the NFL’s rushing touchdown and rushing yardage leader. Aaron made the model 🧮 Greg made interactive charts 📈 Circle your calendar 🗓️ : www.thebanner.com/sports/raven...

I will be forever grateful to @tristanelwell.bsky.social for his Starter Villain cover art. The moment we all saw it we were all, "Oh, we're gonna sell a LOT of this one." And we were right! Authors, please use Tristan for all your cover art needs.

Almost run off the road(again) whilst riding in the right hand lane by a reckless driver trying to pass another car in left hand lane. Because they couldn't just wait 10 seconds to pass me safely in the left lane. I'm close to buying a helmet-mounted camera to start recording and reporting.

The #Titans didn't collapse simply because Derrick Henry left. But as they prepare to face him for the first time, I've been thinking about everything that disappeared around the same time. Leadership. Standards. Production. Identity. That intangible “it.” Whatever it is, Henry had it.

The Trump admin keeps trying ways to break and take over NIH and we keep pushing back and winning. Two takeaways: 1. Together we have power; your voice matters. 2. This isn’t over; they are going to keep trying more ways to take over NIH and science for their political ends. Be ready!

These people inside NIH working on grants are really the best of the country, people who are not being paid big bucks but care about the mission; care about something bigger than themselves.

Can confirm (see 🧵 ). But let me share some optimism. A NIH colleague said today that against all odds, NIH has been…winning. “We made this EO a necessity. We fought hard. We threw sand in all the gears. All the lowdown ways of blocking grants failed to produce the results Vought et al wanted.”

What. A. Day. NIH grant-making was paused for several hours today. Not sure who gave the order. But in light of the Friday night Bhattacharya-Vought feud & threatened EO to implement #ScienceDeathPanels, my money is on Russell Vought. I learned of the pause from a colleague around 11:30. 🧵

Instead of ending the conflict with Iran, combating inflation, or providing safety regulations/standards for AI; this administration is obsessed with settling scores with academia. We need increased congressional oversight of OMB. Hopefully that starts in January.

Until scientific results are digitized in the moment, AI is never going to be able to recommend or "perform" good experiments. The delay between results and publications means that the best experiments will always be driven by social factors (conferences, collabs) and priviliged information.
