A tomahawk missile costs the taxpayers the same amount of money as one five-year major NIH research grant. Remember that every time they tell us one of those missed the target, blew up paintings of enemy aircraft or tanks, or was the fifth and unnecessary hit on the same target.

Did you know? 📱 When seeing smartphone cues in an MRI, young men show stronger activation in attention and control brain networks: The more activated, the higher their craving. Whereas women show a different pattern: Brain activity decreasing as problematic use increases. #sabv #ossd
Why isn’t Elizabeth Warren the Senate Minority Leader?
Current snoot is a little short, yeah. I think that’s what she would like too
Day 235. Izzie would like to know why you let it be Tuesday and not, say, Saturday. No judgment, just a question. #UglyDogs
Day 234. WARNING: CUTENESS ALERT! A blast from the past to make up for it being Monday. I think this will boost us all through the week. It’s BABY LUNA! Just 2 months old, and the cutest puppy of all time 🥰 and she never outgrew it! #UglyDogs
Hey @sasshole.bsky.social have you melted yet?
Unfortunately, I was not required to survive the early life cuteness, but somehow her previous owners did! I think I’d just melt into a puddle every time I looked at her!
In a scathing review, the top US medical journal's editorial board warned that the "destruction that Kennedy has wrought in 1 in office might take generations to repair."
Neither was I when I fist saw the picture 😂🥰
Wee bit of Instagram perusing 😂 Lexi was trying to see if we could find any baby pictures of her from her previous owner, and she did!
I think her breeders named her Snow, so she was a Snow ball for a short time 😭🥰

No need to cause hazards. Warnings are good at times like these 😌
Of course, I can’t spontaneously cause cuteness melting without a warning
Here to alert you all that nobody is ready for the picture tomorrow. Brace yourselves for maximum cuteness.
Will do! Safe travels!
Day 233. The pets heard there is one less hour of sleep today for some reason? Yeah, that ain’t happening. #UglyDogs
Blep!
Hap birf Blackjack!
Day 232. Izzie would like to check in. How are you? Feeling okay? Getting enough sleep? Catching plenty of spirits that the humans can’t see? Let her know. #UglyDogs #Caturday
Graph of award probability of R35 and R01 from NIH factbook as a function of review rank percentile. As is apparent, 2025 is a significant departure, with lower award probabilities at all scores <40 and significant departures from norm, where even being in the top 10% is no longer a nearly certain indicator of success. Data source: https://report.nih.gov/nihdatabook/report/302
The data is in: the NIH goalposts have shifted.
What were once almost certain fundable scores have become coin flips and what used to be likely grants have become aspirational, leading to fewer awards.
Another manifestation of how HHS policies have led to fewer awards and less science.
When it comes to food or other critters, her scenting is unparalleled
Ah, so that’s what Luna’s nose-dar is picking up! Yum!
Day 231. Happy 11th birthday to the looniest, ballooniest, tuna-iest Luna girl around! Here’s to many more to come ❤️🎉 #UglyDogs
Every time you experience something new, your brain faces a decision: Should it update an existing memory or create a new one?
In our new paper in @sfnjournals.bsky.social #JNeurosci, we isolate that exact decision, moment-by-moment during learning 🧵
As a past Next Generation Leader, I can definitively say the program helped shape how I approach my science. Collaboration is key to making an impact, and so is backing innovation with values-driven research.
I highly recommend applying for this program 🧠
No, it was mentioned yesterday, so you’re good
So many! We’ll be going to a pet store later to let her pick some treats and toys out!
