Amazing and inspiring, @the-alex-hidalgo.bsky.social !
One novel draft. 50 days. It was crazy but magical. Just finished Draft 1 of my #novel Ori and Rima. Thank you to my husband @billbowbaggins.bsky.social for #reading every chapter and giving me the best feedback! And for capturing the baby bunny that celebrated with us.

A statement by 40 Jewish faculty and staff on antisemitism and DEI at U.Va.

Very proud of my wife (@morrisonlab.bsky.social) and her lab for advancing our knowledge of how dopamine works in different kinds of learning/learners! Even cooler when you know this is achieved with a mostly undergrad crew. Another reason to restore #NIHfunding
We are delighted to have the cover article in J Neurosci this week! Briefly: inhibition of DA neurons at reward blocks the acquisition of sign tracking; stimulation (or bigger reward) doesn't alter it, but *stopping* stimulation halts acquisition in its tracks. www.jneurosci.org/content/45/2...
Modulation of Dopamine Neurons Alters Behavior and Event Encoding in the Nucleus Accumbens during Pavlovian Conditioning

An extraordinary separate dissent from Justice Jackson accuses the majority of trying to pass off its dirty work under the cover of the shadow docket and explicitly invokes Korematsu, the Japanese internment case. Wow. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

@nytimes.com , where is your coverage of the NIH freeze-out? No study sessions, no communication... and no comment from the paper of record? Really? @washingtonpost.com had it three days ago: wapo.st/3EeF3hF
Health researchers alarmed as Trump administration pauses travel, communications
The halt has frozen research grants, meetings and key health updates. “Everything is basically in chaos,” said one cancer researcher.
