I was extremely lucky to work with Adam and had my life changed because of it, and I know I'm only one of countless. He was beyond special.

Today we honour the memory of Adam Kampff, whose passing leaves an immense void in our community.

We are profoundly grateful to Adam. The best way to honour him is to continue innovating, collaborating, and sharing generously, as he taught us. Thank you, Adam Kampff.

I really enjoyed this book. Hope that putting it on a list of books to remove only encourages curious readers to go and read it ❀️

I'm pleased to report that the board has now heard from NIH that the appointments of these three investigators and similarly situated folks are being extended. Thank you NIH! Delighted that the stellar work there will be continuing!

Was at the NYC @standupforscience.bsky.social in Washington Square Park (here on sabbatical leave) and delighted to see superstar theoretical physicist and Harvard colleague Prof. Lisa Randall address the crowd! (she's in a hat holding a mic, halfway up vertically and in the left 3rd)

Sensation is dispensable for the maturation of the vestibulo-ocular reflex Vertebrates stabilize gaze using a neural circuit that transforms sensed instability into compensatory counterrotation of the eyes. Sensory feedback tunes this vestibulo-ocular reflex throughout life....

Big paper from @paigel.bsky.social in our lab:

Sensory feedback is always crucial for proper development, right? Wrong!

Crazier still, the motor system is the slowest part of a developing reflex circuit!

Surprises abound in this bluetorial c’mon along….

This is a good summary of some of the horrific "staff reductions" that have gone on across CDC and NIH.

Science funding agency threatened with mass layoffs National Science Foundation staff heard the plans at a meeting Tuesday.

Sabotage. Criminal sabotage.

"[The NSF] is planning to lay off between a quarter and a half of its staff in the next two months, a top National Science Foundation official said Tuesday."
