This article--on the systematic dismantling of the NIH, NSF, and CDC--is a must-read not only for researchers and clinicians but for anyone who has ever gotten a vaccine, taken medication, read the results of a research study, or gotten tested for Covid, flu, or STIs. www.science.org/content/blog...

Hey if you're into feet and brains that came nonstandard from the factory and then got some questionable after-market mods, have I got a treat for YOU! Join now for bonus RUNNING CONTENT! Maybe some thoughts on HEALTHCARE & BURNOUT! And it's funny. To me, anyway. Come hang out. I made Jello.

Found in the archive—if we were close in grad school you might have gotten this comic card at the holiday season—pretty sure I only put forth this much effort one other time in the past 25 years

Colleen Kelley was kind and supportive to me, early in my career. We would catch up periodically at conferences, & she was one of my senior colleagues I’d email with about memory stuff in my younger days. And what a research career! 1/a few

A lil quote from me in this promo for a study just out in Science! Something like volitional mental time travel in rats: Rat is on a spherical treadmill moving about a virtual space while place cells are recorded. 1/n

science.org

Rats can ‘imagine’ places they’ve previously visited

Virtual reality study suggests that rodents, like humans, are capable of mental navigation
