Neuroscientist. All (bad) opinions are my own.
Drugs are cool and all, but have you ever experienced the absolute high of spending two hours in the most anxious state of your life, wondering if you solved some minor problem from three years ago that definitely would kill your data/study, only to find out you did - in fact - solve that problem?

Is the ventral visual stream important in chronic PTSD? Maybe! We replicate and extend earlier findings from recent trauma survivors in the large (n=~2000) ENIGMA-PTSD sample showing covariance of this circuit is related to PTSD severity.
Now out in BP:CNNI. 1/

Sauron was a complicated being. True, he waged a genocide against the race of men and sought to plunge middle earth into an age of darkness. But! He was also a champion of diversity (he had easterlings in his armies :)).

Fundamentally, American media culture places more prestige on being wrong cleverly than being right simply. They’ll spend 50,000 words sucking off a Nazi with a polysyllabic vocabulary before they interview the nice lady who volunteers at the animal shelter because she likes dogs.
i will go to my grave boiling mad about how the media failed to hold JD Vance to account for his gutter racism

Another day, another example of the mainstreaming of scientific racism. A book just published by Cambridge University Press states definitively that Philippe Rushton’s work has “taken root in psychology”, though lamenting that “unfortunately” his work on race has not been taken seriously enough

So, NDA terminates my access to ABCD because my RAS has a linked gmail for the past ever. Delete it, then can't log in, have to use the helpdesk. They finally fix it today, the same day they revoke the ability to request access to ABCD.
So, my disdain for the NDA is alive and well.
