My thesis work is out! 🪰 We often link pain to mammals—sometimes exclusively humans—but what about flies? Thanks to @tuthill.bsky.social for supporting a funky, fun project, and to @NIH & @hhmi.org for funding over the past half decade!

Welp, antifa did it. They finally burned Portland to the ground. Nothing but smoke left.

Excited to announce our new pre-print (www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...)! This collaborative work (co-led by Adriane Otopalik and Gerry Rubin) examines how neuronal circuits regulate social behaviors, like courtship🫶 and aggression🥊, across sexes. #neuroscience #Drosophila #WomenInSTEM 🧪1/

Systemic protections and guardrails are essential to a functioning society. Nature understands this even if oligarchs don't.

In Science, researchers detail a nanoscale-resolution reconstruction of a millimeter-scale fragment of human cerebral cortex, giving an unprecedented view into the structural organization of brain tissue at the supracellular, cellular, and subcellular levels. scim.ag/3FvpAKy #BrainAwarenessWeek
A single neuron (white) shown with 5,600 of the axons (blue) that connect to it. The synapses that make these connections are shown in green. The cell body (central core) of the neuron is about 14 micrometers across.

I’m absolutely going to do this because I still have a bone to pick with a LOT of you.

Great write up at @thetransmitter.bsky.social on the seeming erasure of SABV in the new era of NIH. Gotta say The Transmitter is killing it the last few weeks, first to report on the Federal Register block and now this. Leading the charge! 💪 www.thetransmitter.org/policy/exclu...

Exclusive: NIH appears to archive policy requiring female animals in studies
Such a shift would “put us back in the dark ages in terms of our science,” says neuroscientist Anne Murphy, who helped to formulate the original policy.

I deeply enjoyed getting to talk about Gila monster venom in a lecture about incretins and GLP-1 receptor agonists! 👹
