YES! A step in the right direction. After a horrendous year for science & the #NIH, it is imperative to protect it from political interference. NIH's success is due to decisions based on science, not political ideology.
Science does not belong to politicians.

Dr. King taught us that history does not move on its own. It takes the work of all of us, united in Boston, to be a city too strong for fear to tear down and answer his call of building the Beloved Community.
Boston makes it easy for families to sign up for child care, preschool, and BPS with greatstarts.boston.
Has this kind of hyperfocus on "critique" always been a feature of American/progressive activism? Or is it new? It feels very academia-brained, like the best possible thing you can do is find new and creative ways to articulate "critiques" of how things are actually problematic.

Over the next four years, Boston will be the proof that the nation we fought for is possible. #BostonInauguration

Great write-up on the current state of mouse behavioral tests for #psychedelics by @callimcflurry.bsky.social
Can't wait to see those new assays to be developed and validated further.
I was interviewed for @theguardian.com by the wonderful @melodyschreiber.com, one of the finest health reporters in the world, about what I called a βneocolonialistβ study planned by Danish researchers in Guinea-Bissau, funded by RFK Jr. So many red flags π©π©π©π©π©π©π©

Yes I see this trend happening in real time in my Xmas calendar! We have said goodbye to many friends leaving for China, Europe and Latin America this season.
No, I donβt think itβs that, their statement is not accurately logical. if the wrote code that way it would crash. But ppl do figure what they mean contextually so maybe itβs a bit neurodivergent of us to pay attention to the logic first
At Oak Lawn United Methodist Churchβs nativity, Mary and Joseph are silhouettes, surrounded by a chain link fence topped with razor wire. Their halos are old bicycle wheels. A shopping cart and two metal bins, frequently used by the unhoused as firepits, flank the scene.
Happy anniversary @ruimcosta.bsky.social !!!
Will you do an explainer thread later?

Boston stands with our immigrant neighbors.
I am going to file away that response under: Evidence of consent! Thank you for vibing with my odd. And about you writting your first tweet thread without knowing that's what you were doing... this is why we say in Mexico that: Nadie sabe para quien trabaja! Fate makes fools of us all.
Totally! Iβll bookmark it π€
Amazing job @alleninstitute.org!
@woodsnakeai.bsky.social check this out! What do you think about this teaching method?
When science is open, classrooms become launchpads for discovery.
At @univpugetsound.bsky.social, neuroscience students used Allen Institute data to code, analyze, and explore real brain data.

π The pressure to be clever
is not the same thing
as the gift of noticing.
One performs.
One witnesses.
Learning the difference.
It's called the "graduation" approach β both financial and moral support to help people move from extreme poverty to self-sufficiency. But in this innovative Uganda project, something isn't clicking. n.pr/48MoCVj
π Some frequencies aren't 'in' the sound...
The brain generates them anyway!
That's resonance.
Interested in what emerges between.
No controles!
Cool!
Cuties!
How does the brain build itself? π§ π
