I absolutely love London Marathon Day and hope everyone who wants to experience running it can - but is splitting it over two days diluting the best day of the year in such a great city? www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/m...

The #hypothalamus plays a large role in coordinating the neuronal signals that are responsible for keeping the body in a stable state. A special issue unpacked this brain region’s impact on physiological and behavioral homeostasis. scim.ag/41FRESU #BrainAwarenessWeek

The hypothalamus is a small structure deep inside the brain that is connected to a vast number of other brain regions and tirelessly interacts with them. It controls and modulates many basic bodily functions to ensure the survival of the organism under constantly changing circumstances.

An enormous number of grants are not getting reviewed. Every day that goes by is another lab that might lose critical funding. Totally unacceptable. We're on day 5 (approx) of the NIH new grant freeze.
