From our walk today through the Juneau woods and muskeg. Love this time of year in southeast Alaska.

Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States, yet Trump and RFK Jr.'s HHS is cutting stroke research at the NIH. These reckless cuts don’t just hurt patients—they threaten every family hoping for prevention and recovery. We need more research, not less.
My lab researches what happens to the brain after a stroke, and we have discovered a new strategy to treat strokes that we are trying to bring to the clinic. With the recent turmoil at the NIH, we have already lost funding, and new funding is delayed. The existence of my lab, and even my job, is now acutely endangered."

Sun is setting early this time of year so sometimes we go on walks in the dark with all dogs wearing their “lightsaber” collars. Partner and his headlamp light visible along with blue, red, green, purple collars in the middle of the picture.

You deserve healthcare that sees you, not just the size of your body. Latest by me on what weight-neutral healthcare is, and how to self-advocate when you're stuck with the doctor you have. (Note, 1st source is not tagged for their protection. Pls be kind) www.prevention.com/health/a6190...

I have a book about why we hate rats and pigeons, but love cats and elephants. Why we think the only way to live in nature is at constant war with it. And how we could, maybe, not do that. www.harpercollins.com/products/pes... WaPo loved it. NYT loved it. @scifri.bsky.social loved it.

It’s a drop in the bucket, but I have a few invite codes to give out. If you are an academic and have a URM colleague who would like an invite, send me an email. Similarly if you have a PhD student or postdoc that you can vouch for who would like to come here, let me know.

It's impossible to tell how deep floodwaters are until it's too late. The road is sometimes washed out beneath the water. It takes very little water to strand a vehicle, and only a little more to carry it away. Floods are a tropical system's deadliest hazard. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles.

Note for Newskies: moving here is a good opportunity to recalibrate the tone of your posts. Twitter used to be a nice balance of news and silliness, which was wrecked by Trump’s appearance and became gloom 24/7. Here, we can find a better balance again.
