Fascinating new research on the molecular dynamics of mu opioid receptor signaling. 🧪🧠
Narcan appears to work almost miraculously, reversing an opioid overdose in minutes. But exactly how it does this was a mystery since the FDA approved it in 1971.

Until now. Biology researchers have captured the mechanism at the molecular level. buff.ly/5VnUILA
How does Narcan work? Mapping how it reverses opioid overdose can provide a molecular blueprint for more effective drugs
Naloxone can reverse an overdose in minutes, but exactly how it does this at the molecular level has previously been unclear.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Researchers change the locations of spider mite "bathrooms," shedding light on important aspects of social evolution.🧪🪲

It seems logical that having a designated place to poop is a key part of group living, from invertebrates to humans. But it can be tricky to demonstrate this empirically.

As we get ready to shop for Thanksgiving remember the farm workers who harvest the food. We wouldn't enjoy a #Thanksgiving dinner without their hard work. #WeFeedYou

Marc, you are a hero and we all thank you for your dedication to truth and justice. We also mourn the fact that so many legal firms sold their souls to the devil to protect their bottom lines. With democracy under attack we need more heroes.
My law firm is currently litigating 61 voting and election cases, including 12 redistricting cases. We have four cases in one stage or another before the Supreme Court.

These cases — and others like them —
will play a pivotal role in whether we have free and fair elections in 2026 and 2028.

New Mexico just became the first U.S. state to offer free universal child care

New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham told CBS News it would save families an average of $12,000 a year.

"In 41 states in America, your child care payment is more than your mortgage payment," she said.

Thanks, Adrian! I’m excited to be starting a lab at the University of Utah (theluolab.org)!

We’re recruiting at all levels.

If you’re excited about neural computation, large-scale multi-region recordings, and machine learning, let’s talk!

And yes, the mountains are as incredible as they say!

Threats against lawmakers are not speech; they are coercion designed to freeze the functioning of government. If Congress can’t advise the military without fear of execution, then checks and balances are dead. The House and Senate must formally censure this attack. Call your representative now.

Ed Kravitz was an extraordinary scientist, educator and activist. I had the privilege of getting to know Ed through his work with SPINES, a professional development course at the MBL. His legacy will carry on, not only through his science, but also in the many students he taught and mentored. 🧪
Remembering GABA pioneer Edward Kravitz
The biochemist, who died last month at age 92, was part of the first neurobiology department in the world and showed that gamma-aminobutyric acid is inhibitory.

The message from Trump is crystal clear - if you beat the hell of out police, if you threaten to kill FBI officers - I will make sure you get away with it if you are breaking the law to keep me in power.

If you don't see it, this is a message about 2028.
