George the wombat was just four months old when he lost his mother in a car accident. Rescued from her pouch, this little survivor was thriving just months later. #AGoodPlace Source: www.reddit.com/r/BeAmazed/s...

That is really sad that no one else helped. Thanks for being one that did- not that I’m surprised at all. Glad she’s ok.

The measles surge that RFK Jr happily drove has infected at least 50 pregnant women in PA "Doctors in outbreak areas are making changes to how they care for pregnant patients & their babies, offering a glimpse of what may be in store across the nation as cases spread" 19thnews.org/2026/10/penn...

What Pennsylvania’s measles outbreak could mean for pregnancy care across America
It's raising new questions about immunity testing before pregnancy, early vaccinations for babies and the many complications that could rise from infection.

That sucks. I hate IT control on everything- random restarts, clinical programs I don’t use, and the monthly fees for each computer we have just to be connected. Not to mention the fight to purchase systems that can handle our imaging data.

“I think all scientists have a little bit in them,” he says. “That wonder and curiosity about the natural world — not only how it is, but how it could be.” We spoke to 2026 Nobel Prize winner Karl Deisseroth back in 2013, his mark on neuroscience already clear www.nature.com/articles/497...

Never give up. Science says watching real perseverance lights up the brain's empathy and inspiration circuits, which is exactly why this hits so hard.

This really is heartbreaking. Definitely should not be seeing this here. Heard the other day people with infants are not traveling to visit family in the US due to the measles. Sadly, it’s the most vulnerable who are at risk.

How do brightly coloured butterflies successfully evade being eaten? Fascinating new research suggests this relates to visual illusions created by their fluttering wings. The spots & stripes, combined with the dancing flight, interfere with a predator’s sense of the insects’ speed & direction. 🦋🧪

My dream is to record neural activity in their brain while they camouflage so we can see how the visual world is represented in the brain & transformed into a recreation of the world on the skin. To do this, we need to generate new genetic lines: animals whose neurons fluoresce as they fire (GCaMP)

The Pope reminds me of a version of Catholicism I knew growing up as a young man attending anti-war and anti-death penalty protests, where I met elderly Catholics who shared their version of faith with me. I learned that Catholicism was about love and mercy for the weak, the condemned, and the poor.
