never has minneapolis needed to celebrate the sun coming more than at the end of winter 2026. ICE are not gone completely, but we still won, and it was incredibly cathartic to see this ceremony at mayday about protecting our neighbors, grounding why we did this work. i love this city

My wonderfully talented wife, director of ballet co.laboratory, is putting on a show this weekend at the Ordway about the life of Freddie mercury. It is queer and joyful. I am so proud ❤️

What happens when you add electric guitar, high energy vocals, and upbeat percussion to your ballet? For ballet companies, they hope it adds up to a lot more people in the audience. Here's the story of two companies, Twin Cities Ballet of Minnesota and Ballet CoLaboratory. kfai.org/10000-fresh-...

don't worry about it, I don't think the cerebellum is important for reaching.

Had a lot of fun teaching the first year students about the cerebellum today! Opened with the Powerpuff girls, how the mayor was absolutely useless and horrible at his job, but his assistant was essential, ran everything, and kept the town afloat. Her name was Ms. Sara Bellum. Got audible gasps!

Yes, mine was assigned to a SEP randomly, I contacted the SRO and he told me it was just a placeholder assignment until it gets assigned to one of the "new" study sections because my requested one (CDIN) was being eliminated

Just to provide a brief respite from the horror, this week's episode of Radiolab is truly wonderful and worth a listen (even if you might not love the cerebellum as much as I do) www.wnycstudios.org/story/song-o...

My first R01 has officially been submitted. I remember working on my K99 during May 2020 thinking hopefully I'll never have to write another grant during such chaotic, uncertain, and frightening conditions. January 2026 said "hold my beer."

I stopped to enjoy the warmth of my local brewery after dropping my food donation, where I peruse the coverage of Jake Lang sopping wet at his pitiful rally. Meanwhile a constant stream of my neighbors are walking by me, carrying in their respective donations. The people are good and we will win.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting
"They killed my wife," the distraught woman says, adding, "They shot her in the head."

"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries.
"We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.

I can't believe I'm supposed to be working on a fucking grant right now. The only thing more absurd than the fact that I'm supposed to be working on a fucking grant right now is the number of times I've had to fucking state this exact sentiment over the last ten fucking years.

🚨New preprint alert🚨 We used closed-loop optogenetics to causally test the importance of inhibitory spike timing in network function and found that manipulating PV+ cell theta phase locking in the dentate gyrus can shift seizure susceptibility (both ways!)

The NIH budget will INCREASE by $400 million — not slashed by 40%, as Trump proposed — according to a proposal by Senate appropriators, says Sen Murray. "Some have asked if there will even be an NIH by [2029]. The commmittee's resounding message is yes—Congress has your back", she says.

Let's please keep the remaining staff at NIH, NSF, etc in our thoughts even as you lose sleep over your own lab and scientific career. They are enduring pure chaos to try to hold the fort. See snapshot from wapo.st/4feKKuu (gift 🔗) saying they are "barely holding it together"
