When we started the visceral mind project, we promised to publish what we found null and otherwise, and we delivered!

Well, a mere two years and 71,898 words later, it's done. My new book, "Entwined: The Real Science of Mind/Body Medicine" is off to the publisher. Look for it at your neighborhood bookstore in mid-2027. Thanks to the many good folks who offered their thoughts and critique along the way!

I spoke with Laura Schenkman at The Transmitter about my candidacy for the House! Going from the lab to public life is a huge transition. From a lifetime of research to biotech to democracy to running for office, here’s the story of one scientist: www.thetransmitter.org/policy/is-th...

Meet the neuroscientist running for Congress

Sam Wang, a neuroscientist running for the U.S. House of Representatives, has been interested in “fixing bugs in democracy” for decades.

The M.S. degree in Neuroscience is a new, full-time in-person program consisting of 9 months of intensive coursework followed by 12 months of laboratory research in one of the world-class neuroscience laboratories at Johns Hopkins. More information can be found at neuroscience.jhu.edu/graduate/51

New collaborative study out with Mark Wu’s group identifies a thalamic reuniens-zona incerta circuit as both responsive to induced sleep deprivation and essential for mediating recovery sleep. Further perspective on this work follows./1 www.science.org/doi/epdf/10....

Sleep need–dependent plasticity of a thalamic circuit promotes homeostatic recovery sleep

Prolonged wakefulness leads to persistent, deep recovery sleep (RS). However, the neuronal circuits that mediate this process remain elusive. From a circuit screen in mice, we identified a group of th...

Public service announcement. They are not Dire Wolves. They have 20 single letter changes in their entire genomes. I’ve done shits with more mutations. Every time journalists write up a Colossus press release, They are making people stupider. Client journalism by a ridiculous company.

Zuckerberg's 'masculine energy' got its first big win with Trump declaring there are only two genders. This is an agenda that will see laws passed to push gays back into the closet and women back into the kitchen. Our trans siblings are in the front line of this fight, so now more than ever

At a time when support for biomedical research has never been more uncertain in the USA, we have 766 applications for 16 places in our Neuroscience Graduate Program here at Johns Hopkins. I suspect that other neuroscience programs are seeing a similar situation.

Euan Ashley on E Topol's podcast "if you look at this very big study of .5 million people and look at their physical activity over the course of years and correlate it with their likelihood of being alive or being dead, then it was clear that 1 minute of exercise bought you 5 minutes of extra life."

Don’t let them fool you. RFK, Jr. received his funding from big Republican donors. Steve Bannon urged him to run! Why? Because he’s there to play spoiler. Democrats shouldn’t fall for it. A vote for RFK, Jr. is a vote to help Trump win, plain and simple.

From the NYT: “From 2010 to 2016, each of the 210 new drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration was connected to research funded by the National Institutes of Health, according to the scientific journal PNAS”
