@benforward3.bsky.social is running for State Rep in MA. Ben is a fellow scientist and fly biologist who has gone into public service, and I think supporting scientists running for office matters at every level. Support his campaign:https://secure.actblue.com/donate/ben-for-state-rep Please RT

I was asked to list any international people I would collaborate with in the next two years. I don’t even know where our science will go next month. Do these people have any fucking clue about how science works??!!

Fellow federally funded scientists, CALL your representative and senators and tell them the shenanigans at NIH are endangering scientific progress, health security, and jobs. Then badger your colleagues to do it too! Find phone numbers via house.gov and senate.gov

So many people here now- thought I would reintroduce myself! I am an Assistant Prof at BCM in TX. I love behavior, neuroscience, and using worms to study those things. I love food and drink more! To get a flavor of our science, see the quote skeet below!

Congratulations to newly minted Dr. Gregory Reilly, who successfully defended his PhD thesis last week. We're putting together a paper on his work on sexual modulation of behavioral states in C. elegans now - hopefully you'll be able to read about it soon!
