This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.

Brenda Milner showed the world that memory isn’t one thing — the hippocampus supports our life stories, while other circuits let us keep learning skills.
Her research on patient H.M. built the foundation of cognitive neuroscience.

Just finished a list of essay collection named: Can socialists be happy?
This was my 4th reading of Orwell and got word-shaken by his thoughts all 4 times.
Strangely, I have not read the famous 1984 yet, but is planned at a point.
Great article, and a really complex word view

As Matthew Sitman points out — like @zohrankmamdani (and MLK, etc) ‘1984’ author George Orwell was a Democratic Socialist who fought for workers.

He also opposed communism because the two are not the same things and words have meanings.

If you're looking for a gentle introduction to fit linear mixed models with R, with lots of examples, data & code available, here's one below. And not just another paper, just realized this one actually cites a Marvel’s comic book: cool-geek level unlocked :) journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

The holistic forgetting of events and the (sometimes) fragmented forgetting of objects
Episodic events are typically retrieved and forgotten holistically. If you recall one element (e.g., a person), you are more likely to recall other el…
