We’re combining science and art into double-sided cards featuring local scientists and leaving them at local coffee shops and breweries. Want to be featured or nominate a scientist? Fill out this interest survey by Sept 28th: forms.gle/CsTDjisunDMo...

ICYMI: Three animal groups have vision sharp enough to detect objects—vertebrates, arthropods and cephalopods—but only the first two have been studied. A lab in Oregon is changing that. By @callimcflurry.bsky.social #neuroethology www.thetransmitter.org/vision/cepha...

Cephalopods, vision’s next frontier
For decades, scientists have been teased by the strange but inaccessible cephalopod visual system. Now, thanks to a technological breakthrough from a lab in Oregon, data are finally coming straight…

How do you connect people in the city to the sea, or people in the mountains to space? And how do you engage them both in science? Come hear how @skypeascientist.bsky.social and Jimmy Negus used large scale art to do exact that this Friday (05/9) at 9am PST! Register: zoom.us/meeting/regi...

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH
