The Nobel Prizes, 5 of 6 having so far gone to US based scientists, are a reminder of why we must stand up for science against this horrid administration. Here are some great Scientist Activists to follow.

social media shaped my whole career in academia, I learned replication failure was not my fault during my PhD training and learned almost all skills through social media and open resources. I also maintain a Chinese social media account to share what I have learned, courses in taught, ...

Almost every great thing in my life has come through social media: my 3 best friends, my husband, and almost every career opportunity and collaboration. I have no idea what my life would look like if not for social media because it has been so integral to my personal joy and professional success.

🎇 Excited to finally share JL Romero Sosa’s publication! Results are from single-cell imaging in different subregions of rat frontal cortex during ✨de novo learning. Spoiler: everything is not everywhere all at once www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Neural coding of choice and outcome are modulated by uncertainty in orbitofrontal but not secondary motor cortex - Nature Communications

Neural mechanisms underlying flexible learning and decision-making are not fully understood. Using single-cell calcium imaging, authors here found that neurons in orbitofrontal and secondary motor cortex exhibit complementary roles in reward learning, with neurons in the former exerting a sustained role in conditions of uncertainty.

I guess because software allows it, ppl keep trying to estimate diversification rates on phylogenies. This is not in principle possible, because infinite combinations of diversification and extinction rates can explain almost any tree. Short, clear recent-ish paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Sleep is often only investigated from a single dimension. @bttyeo.bsky.social &co identify 5 sleep-biopsychosocial profiles that link self-reported #sleep patterns to variability in #health, #cognition & #lifestyle factors in 770 healthy young adults @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/42tRXSc

Canonical correlation analysis reveals five sleep-biopsychosocial profiles (LCs). Scatter plots showing correlations between biopsychosocial and sleep canonical scores. Each dot represents a different participant. The inset shows the null distribution of canonical correlations obtained by permutation testing; note that the null distribution is not centered at zero. The dashed line indicates the actual canonical correlation computed for each LC. The distribution of sleep (top) and biopsychosocial (right) canonical scores is shown on rain cloud plots.
