A remarkable new map of the #hypothalamus in Nature is not just arcane knowledge with meaning only for neuroscientists. It reminds us all that the function of this tiny part of your brain explains a lot about #obesity and #metabolism. HT: @gilesyeo.bsky.social conscienhealth.org/2025/02/get-...

This is the act of an administration that doesn’t understand how research in Universities work. It will result in untold damage to US higher education and research. Wow

Just back from Washington. I hope the NIH survives the ridiculous Trump edicts. ALL meetings & travel (including grant review committees) cancelled; external comms stopped; everyone working in diversity programs have been fired… international science relies on a healthy NIH

My condolences to friends and colleagues in USA who work in science, medicine & at NIH or are dependent on NIH funding. Hoping you get through the next 4 years. Those in power cannot create their own facts. www.science.org/content/arti...
