New paper alert 📝🥳🧠: Your motor cortex isn't just moving your body… it's quietly telling your brain how to feel about it. We found a circuit in which physical struggle under stress translates into a brake on negative affect. 🧵 @dgordonwinder.bsky.social @mariedoyle.bsky.social

Did anyone go watch Project Hail Mary and go “oh ya, biologists totally do that glove thing” or “Wait. Why didn’t he balance the centrifuge?” 😂 I am open to being a science advisor to any book or movie productions in the future.

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

Me & some of my favorite posters from the #standupforscience rally in Chicago today. The snow did not stop us ❄️🧬🧪🥼

White sign that says science is everything. It also lists that skin care, beer, wine, coffee, ozempic, WiFi, cooking, medicine, and your entire life equals science.

Circles with photos of different signs that say vaccines cause adults, keep the White House under the microscope, la ciencia es para todos, and freedom of expression.

Crowd of people and someone has a sign that says science has no borders
