Attended the Union of Concerned Scientist's webinar about protecting scientists engaged in advocacy and I think the most important message was: The more people who do it, the safer we all are. See the list of resources they shared below. Carry your weight and let others carry you!

I wanted to highlight this incredible science advocacy resource on the @sfn.org website. There's info on how to contact your legislatures, prep for meetings, and make your voice heard. Thank you to SfN for not backing down from the fight and supporting scientists! 🧠🧪 www.sfn.org/advocacy/adv...

This is by far the most animated VSS session I've been to (in a good way). Attention definitely IS a mysterious asset or energy 😄 @neurograce.bsky.social

Listened to this one over the weekend, quite interesting! Perception vs cognition -- why some "top-down effects on perception" may have alternative explanations, and how causal-effect could be a quick perception. And silence perception (not the lack of auditory perception) is interesting as well.

One (positive) side effect of looking for a job is that I realize there are so many interesting careers out there. It reminded me that many years ago I had this naive idea, that if only learning to do all kinds of jobs in the world itself could be a job 😄

I just finished a galley of THE LIGHT EATERS, by Zoe Schlanger, and I cannot say enough good things about it. If you liked AN IMMENSE WORLD and thought, "But what about plants??", then Zoe has written the book for you. I see it as a sister publication to mine. Out next May. Pre-order now!
