"Structure and metabolism should no longer sit in separate boxes. The brain’s wiring could also be part of its fuel strategy. Myelin may be more than insulation; it may also form part of the brain’s adaptive metabolic infrastructure." 🧠👇 #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/metabolism/b...

Beyond glucose: The brain may feed itself

Myelin may serve as an energy reserve for the brain, and neuroscientists are rethinking how the brain stores, shares and protects energy.

Consultants should be hounded, heckled, and marched straight off campus. They are the enemy of education: an extractive beast who seeks to loot Universities of all their worth and leave behind a wreckage.

Can I interest you in a moist owlette as a timeline cleanse? This is Sassafras the Eastern Screech Owl from the Cincinnati Zoo (@cincinnatizoo.bsky.social, but via their FB) and I love him very much. Eastern Screech Owls (Megascops asio) are native to eastern North America.

Stalin fundamentally crippled Soviet #science in the 1930s and almost a century later it still hasn't recovered. That's what Trump, RFK Jr., Vought, and MAGA are doing right now to the United States.

I was invited to give a campus-wide keynote at a flagship university for Sexual Assault Awareness Month. I was offered a speaker’s fee of $150 and parking validation. These schools really let us know their values based on where they spend their money.

Read your comment section, NYT.

Twin cities resident here. Why is the NY Times using their resources to interview and write this article where rural people are bashing the Twin Cities. We are under invasion by ice agents. There was another shooting last night. People are getting dragged out of their houses. US citizens are being detained. They are pulling people over indiscriminately just because they look a certain way. There is so much bad stuff happening and the news is not even capturing the full extent. Please spend more resources covering this. Not interviewing people who do not understand what is happening. What is happening here is terrifying and needs to be the front page of every newspaper. National news does not seem to be getting it. All NY Times resources in Mn need to be spent on documenting the brutal behavior of the Feds. People need to understand what could be coming to them.

Here in the Twin Cities I feel like we have been completely abandoned by government. Local governments are unable to stop the brutalisation of their residents. It is traumatic and it is institutional betrayal.

That protest vote isn’t working out so well.

A split image from Fox News Channel. On the left, Trump in a suit and blue tie is speaking at a podium with a microphone. On the right, two images show extensive destruction and rubble in what appears to be a war-torn area, the Gaza Strip. The text at the bottom reads, 'Trump says US will ‘take over’ Gaza Strip and rebuild it to stabilize Middle East.

Here's an e-mail that just went out to NASA agency wide. 🔭

Letter reading, "Dear agency employees,
We are taking steps to close all agency DEIA offices and end all DEIA-related contracts
in accordance with President Trump’s executive orders titled Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing and Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive
Orders and Actions.
These programs divided Americans by race, wasted taxpayer dollars, and resulted in
shameful discrimination.
We are aware of efforts by some in government to disguise these programs by using coded or imprecise language. If you are aware of a change in any contract description or personnel position description since November 5, 2024 to obscure the connection between the contract and DEIA or similar ideologies, please report all facts and circumstances to
DEIAtruth@opm.gov within 10 days.
There will be no adverse consequences for timely reporting this information. However,
failure to report this information within 10 days may result in adverse consequences.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter. Janet Petro"

Hippocampal neurons code individual episodic memories in humans. The neurons don't code for a particular element in the episode (e.g., concept or time). They code for the conjunction of the different elements. #neuroscience #psychology #PsychSciSky #NeuroSkyence www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Sometimes people hear that I work on the cerebellum, then contact me because they don't know how to interpret their unexpected findings. I just want to say "thank you". I'm grateful that folks are starting to pay attention to this structure! Also, I run a cerebellum journal club so reach out!
