Hane @hane.bsky.social · 22/09/2026SCIENTISTS: publish an entirely reasonable paper on the embryological origins of different segments of the brain which won't come as a surprise to most biologists since the 90s who know about neural tube development SCIENCE PRESS OFFICE: 1339
Reposted by HaneC @spiffyscientist.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I won’t lie, it’s a bit overwhelming to see the work hyperbolized by many press outlets, including the university. We did not discover a new organ, or that you have two consciousnesses, etc! I’m excited for the general positive recognition, (especially the coverage from the Chronicle by Jack Lee)sfchronicle.comThe brain is a single organ. But it may not start that way, study suggestsA Stanford-led study challenges the idea that the brain develops from one common pool of early cells — and could help researchers model diseases such as ALS. 523477
Reposted by HaneJohn Timmer @jtimmer.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Ok, this "there are two separate brains" thing appears to be making the rounds, and I want to be absolutely clear: this is a press office overhyping some perfectly reasonable science that won't come as a surprise to most developmental biologists. 32754238

Reposted by HanePierrick Simon @pierricksimon.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Thus, the Dictionary of Relations is a philosophical practice in the same way that music can be ( @hane.bsky.social established this brilliantly ). Through priming the audience & structural resemblance of the form with the subject matter, Tsai Hsin-yun can convey ideas. bsky.app/profile/hane... 121
