Our review is out 🎉

We discuss how neural computations in the retina shape behavior, continuing the top-down tradition of Lettvin et al.'s classic bug-detector neurons

Interesting study from Germany on e-bikes and the modes they replace:

"43.1% of electric bicycle trips and 63.2% of electric bicycle mileage would have been undertaken using a car if no e-bike had been available, highlighting their substantial potential to reduce transport-related CO2 emissions"

The ICE budget is now set to be approximately what the NIH budget was. We’re shifting money from solving real problems to solving fictitious problems.

The evil that men do lives after them

Huge congrats. Richly deserved. I hope you take time to relax and celebrate!!

Wow look who’s flying!

I've wanted to write this article for years. About my and other's struggles to even survive sometime in #academia. Thank you to the amazing editors at @plosbiology.org that gave me the forum to write this piece. #science

The 5,486,642 acres of National Forest in Oregon proposed for sale accounts for almost one third of the 16,784,978 acres managed by the Forest Service.

One. Third.

Neuroscience research and training has taken a $323 million hit in the form of grants rescinded by the U.S. NIH, according to an analysis by @thetransmitter.bsky.social.

Extremists have eviscerated the National Institutes of Health, responsible for 80% of the *world’s* grant investment in biomedical research

The losses are incalculable, but here are several of them

Thank you @propublica.org for documenting this —>

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

A few shots from today's #NoKings march in Chicago. I still haven't seen a final count but it was tens of thousands.

Posted up at a local bar for a sammy and a beer while I file my story about today's protests. but here's a story y'all might appreciate.
While I was there I saw and older gentleman with this sign.

There are nearly 100,000 people at the rally in Philadelphia. #NoKings

Today I had the honor of speaking in front of nearly 3000 people today at the Woodland #NoKings rally. WE FEAR NO KING BECAUSE WE DONT HAVE ONE ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 let’s gooooooo

In Oak Park Illinois "nokings"

Among other things

NEW: In the last few hours, Minnesota authorities warned people against attending protests, with a killer on the loose.

This is the current view of the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

DEFIANCE. 👏

#NoKings #50501Movement

(📸 Daviss)

Dallas turned out with at least 10,000 marching for #NoKingsDay

Tens of thousands of people march through the Loop Saturday as part of the nationwide No Kings protest. Half a dozen other marches are taking place in Chicago suburbs.

I'm floored.

This is ONE stretch of ONE side of the street in deep red, small town Knoxville, TN today.

This is a city that Trump won in 2024 by 20+ points.

The scope of these protests are massive—American from both sides of the aisle are pissed.

There will be no kings.
