I might be late at sharing this, but I just listened to an interesting @radiolab.bsky.social episode exploring models of how ketamine & psychedelic drugs (when used in very specific contexts - this is crucial) could 'reset the brain' & may be clinically beneficial radiolab.org/podcast/the-...

The Ecstasy of an Open Brain
As babies, our brains are open. As adults, our brains close. But what if we could reopen them? What a trip.

Medieval killer rabbits: when bunnies strike back
Vengeful, merciless and brutally violent... yes that’s right, we’re talking about medieval bunnies. Rabbits can often be found innocently frolicking in the decorated borders or illuminations of mediev...

There are many layers here, but I want to comment on one aspect of these findings for now--the editorial board representation. Some will see this and immediately think: we need to get more POC on our boards! I understand that impulse, but encourage you to think a few steps down the game tree 1/n.

A nice little article on collaborative science and bringing novel approaches to the lab. I mostly agree with it, but I do think it's probably easier to have a multidisciplinary lab if you are a more established faculty member.

How to be a multidisciplinary neuroscientist
Neuroscience subfields are often siloed. Embracing an integrative approach during training can help change that.

The Department of Pharmacology is advertising a faculty position for someone to study addiction. I enjoyed my time at Michigan, and there are fantastic researchers in Ann Arbor. If you're OK with the snow in the winter, I encourage you to apply! careers.umich.edu/job_detail/2...

First post here; I thought I'd post something not related to science. In my spare time, I'm a volunteer shepherd for Brighton (a 'lookerer') - here are our ponies :)
