The worst happened. We were DOGE’d. Our NSF funding is gone. So now there’s nothing stopping me from sharing Expert Voices Together, a crisis response system for US-based researchers and journalists facing harassment. It's a true passion project. 🧵 1/ expertvoicestogether.org

I worked with @zey.bsky.social and others (@DK! ❤️) on an open-source donation-matching project during the first trump admin. Then Sahil had an article written about himself and claimed the project as his own invention. Not surprised he's a DOGE'er.

In a recent podcast @dyamins.bsky.social argues: "We want to be able to use the model of the digital brain as a neurobiomedical discovery and diagnostic design platform." neuroscience.stanford.edu/news/buildin... - That view is popular and I believe that there is a fundamental logical error.

I've been truly astonished at the number of VC/PE people I've spoken to who are sure doctors and lawyers are a doomed species in 2026, but VCs still have a few more decades left

In the US, about 40K car deaths per year; pop is 330M. ~1 out of every 8K are killed by cars each year. If driving from age 16-76, odds they've killed with their car over lifespan is ~1% If you know N=150 people, (1-(1-p)ᴺ), ~80% chance you know someone who has killed someone else with their car.

In all seriousness, my first thought on hearing of the Pope's death was "aw, that's sad" and my second thought was "okay time to start repeatedly refreshing the Chatner" and @dannymlavery.bsky.social DELIVERED

The great thing about being the paper of record is that you can always find the most unbiased, authoritative sources of expertise around which to center your feature articles.

Here at Princeton, we’re amplifying our university president’s leadership. It’s time for everyone - faculty, students, staff - to speak out. tl;dr: rights can’t be blackmailed. From me and science colleagues: www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2025...

#paleo science!!! We built ML fossil segmentation tools to save paleontologists time and money. Everything is online and open-source! Amazing collab with @melanieduring.com + @kordinglab.bsky.social @perahlberg.bsky.social at @uuvertpalaeo.bsky.social @upenn.edu @jhuapl.bsky.social @jhu.edu @ki.se!

New paper released! Chapter 5 of my PhD, co-led by Jordan Matelsky. Among other techniques I spend a great deal of time studying fossils using X-ray or soecifically synchrotron radiation techniques, similar to the methods used in radiology at hospitals to make internal injuries visible.

for pity’s sake, I am BEGGING university leaders to stop framing this issue in terms of what this will cost the university. people dont care! EXPLAIN WHAT THIS WILL COST THE PUBLIC: closed hospitals and clinics, skipped treatments, loss of access to experimental drugs, unemployment, recession

Synaptoneurosomes seem incredibly awesome. Lots of "micro-neurons". It should be easy to perturb them. Understand them one by one. 2p stimulate them. Voltage image them. Why does this not appear to be happening?

I know this site only reaches a subset of neuro/ cog professors. If you know a young professor in the area who would benefit from a week of targeted learning about doing good science, good mentoring, networking etc, it would be great if you could forward them: compneurosci.com/Neuro4Pros/i...

That is 32 5-year biomedical research grants to study cancer, Alzheimer’s, blindness, diabetes, heart disease, infectious disease, etc… Grateful the pilot is OK. Martin Baker just sent out another tie.
