resubmitting an #R01. I'm #DEI Vice Chair. A. Leave it on biosketch B. Remove it C. Do something smarmy like "DE1 Vice Chair"

A tribute to Professor Nir Giladi, one of the founders of the field of #Freezing research in #Parkinson: #ICFOG2025

To win in 2028 and beyond, Democrats must embrace fascism

An executive order is not law! Title VII is law!

apparently a lot of money to be made in redoing billions of dollars in established stage I-IV pharma research based on… vibes

Early submission deadline 2/15 for #ICFOG2025! Any abstracts received by 2/15 will be reviewed within 10 business days! Final deadline 3/15. icfog.org/meetings/abs...

NEW PAPER! Many international colleagues (including us!) are working to evaluate the #GiladiProtocol for #FOG in #PD. Here's the first publication! doi.org/10.1177/1877...

We highly recommend y’all crack open a copy of the U.S. Constitution before you break anymore laws…

J.D. Vance must’ve thought he was scoring points by saying “Judges aren't allowed to control the executive's legitimate power," but of course controlling abuses of that power is exactly what Federal Judges must do — and what Judge Engelmayer did in this very case. search.app/hHJJWzMXS2f2...

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

The way an executive branch that respects the rule of law objects to a district court ruling it doesn’t like is to *appeal* it, not to imply that the ruling just shouldn’t be followed.

For folks who are surprised about, or shocked by, Vance calling on Trump to ignore judges, he’s been saying it for a while but much of our political press wasn’t paying attention:

Many noting VP says lawyers don't have to listen to judges and the executive doesn't have to listen to the judiciary. But don't miss the military part. Yes judges can—and should—tell generals to follow the law. The US has a professional military and courts martial. All around attack on rule of law.

@yale ???

this is the sort of thing you post when you’re ramping up to defying lawful court orders

me too, girl

Lots of champagne bottles popping in Moscow and Beijing tonight, as America abandons the field. The tragic result of Trump’s “America Last” policy.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Deleted twitter account last week - hadn’t logged in in months - and if you have not yet done so, highly recommend.

kind of a drag none of us have been able to use #LLMs to speed up grant peer review now that an unpaid intern is going to dump every #NIH grant ever submitted into GROK without permission. taxpayers - those data are yours, not Elon’s.

I'm asking for Members of Congress to stand up for the constitutional order in plain language. These are high crimes and misdemeanors. And it needs to be said.

The randomized trial results are in for the GLP-1 drug Exenatide for Parkinson's disease. Spoiler: NO symptomatic or disease modifying effect. Tom Foltynie, David Standaert and I interviewed in the NY Times by Gina Kolata. “This is a sobering moment."

negative results but conclusive. finally something #ozempic et al don’t seem to affect.

Blaming “welfare queens” “super-criminals” “BLM” “woke” “critical race theory” “DEI” - tired rebrands from people scared of people rejecting white supremacists. It’s honestly hard to keep up. Same old story.

nice! #PD #parkinson
