Does anyone know how to get your Bluesky algorithm to show more science related posts/people? I'm dying over here in political content. While important, I am here for learning and networking.

🚨 I am pleased to share w/ everyone a new Nature #Neuroscience paper led by Dr. Pablo Gimenez-Gomez from the lab of Dr. Gilles Martin @umasschan.bsky.social

In this paper, we found a specific #alcohol activated neuronal ensemble that functions to suppress binge drinking behavior.

Suppression of binge alcohol drinking by an inhibitory neuronal ensemble in the mouse medial orbitofrontal cortex - Nature Neuroscience

Me & some of my favorite posters from the #standupforscience rally in Chicago today. The snow did not stop us ❄️🧬🧪🥼

White sign that says science is everything. It also lists that skin care, beer, wine, coffee, ozempic, WiFi, cooking, medicine, and your entire life equals science.

Circles with photos of different signs that say vaccines cause adults, keep the White House under the microscope, la ciencia es para todos, and freedom of expression.

Crowd of people and someone has a sign that says science has no borders
