PSA that no matter what ridiculous, unscientific “research” comes out in the next year or two about vaccines, a plethora of rigorous, reproducible studies have demonstrated safety and efficacy of vaccines with ZERO link to autism. Autism is largely (if not entirely) genetic. Tell your friends.

I think we should take Elon's 'x' back and apply it to those flagged research terms as such: Fxmale Prxgnant Fxtus Trxns Gxndxr Xessible Incusivx Divxrsity... (And so on) I mean if science already has its own language (mainly stemming from Latin), why not put a modern spin on it?

📰 Out now in @commsbio.bsky.social! 🧠🧲🔍 Why should fMRI connectivity be limited to gray matter nodes? Using ADC-fMRI, we can robustly include white matter nodes and explore white-to-gray and white-to-white connectivity. Masterfully led by Inès de Riedmatten! #FIREPATH www.nature.com/articles/s42...

I'm in my 40's so back when they did immunizations in late 70's early 80's, the "records" were handwritten in a baby book. Got the notification that I should probably get an MMR titer, so I'm going in tomorrow. 🤞🏼

I need to start a science blog. I need to start a science blog. I need to start a science blog. I need to start a science blog. Imposter syndrome is stunting my next steps. I mean, I have 16 years in bodywork and it so well ties in with the brain-body connection aspect of neuroscience.

Overhearing a massage client talk about excitatory DREADDS, I have to ask... Come to find out they work at a lab at Salk as a neuroscience grad student. I know someone in her lab and she knows someone in mine! Oh and her hubby is in Psychiatry at the university!

Science fact of the day: I just learned that mice can't vomit! Yet, they have a median eminence which is a trigger organ to induce vomiting. 🤔
