Come by poster #34 at #SCMND to see some cool pictures of Lewy Pathology in cortical and dopaminergic neurons! 😁🧫 (And learn about how Lewy bodies form, what effect they have on cells, and what cell characterisrics make them vulnerable and resilient in AD and PD 🙂)

Denmark has the highest representation of female scientists and engineers (50.8%), while Hungary has the lowest (30.7%).

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Happy New Year! (my cartoon for @newscientist.bsky.social)

Two scientists share an office.
The first, whose half of the room is neat and tidy, says
“My new year's resolutions are to jog to work every day, choose the healthy option at lunch, and run a pleasant, well-ordered workspace.”

The second, working in a total mess, replies
“In the interests of scientific rigour, I'll be the control, and change absolutely nothing.”

Last night I saw a group of (presumably) anti-Assisted Dying campaigners putting up Samaritans suicide prevention posters, over Dignity in Dying (pro) ads in Westminster tube station I'm very interested in followers' views on the Bill. This feels like one of those issues that is beyond left/right

The thing I am struggling with most as a PI is getting projects across the finish line. There are so many preprints, manuscripts, grants, tasks, and admin things to do that I feel like I am pushing the rock up the hill but never making true progress. Just picking a task each day becomes difficult.

Would be great to measure global impact on career factoring in other things like engagement with the audience when presenting/networking/interviewing, grant-writing, etc. And the unconscious (and sometimes truly conscious) bias of native speakers doesn't really help.

Wise words from Matt Haig.

I Long for an Internet where it would be possible to talk in a totally nuanced way about things. Where you could say I am broadly on your side about this, but I also think about this, without people thinking you are the other side. I long for sideless conversations. Conversations as spherical as the world we live in.

United we stand, divided we fall.

Political cartoon showing a line of dominos. The first one is labeled Trans Rights and has a blue-pink-white trans flag painted on it and is tilting. Three people (representing a trans man, trans woman, and person wearing rainbow colors) are pushing back to keep it from falling. Behind it the second domino is labeled "Gay Rights" and "Freedom of Expression" and has a couple, one member of who is pulling the other from behind the domino and walking towards the first domino. The 3rd one "Women's Rights" and "Free Love", a woman is pointing and shouting to rally others behind the domino to come forwards, the 4th one " Free Speech" and "Democracy" and has people peering out from behind it as well as two people running forwards with a piece of lumber, the 5th one "Freedom of Religion" and "Modernity", and has a few people nervously peeking out from behind it, the 6th one is "Literacy". Dominos 7-10 are unlabeled and faded out in the background.

Text on bottom: "United we stand, Divided we fall"
