Masked agents snatching people at work, church, their child’s daycare. A return of family separations. States are lining up to run their own detention centers.

Anti-immigrant animus is now being paired with unprecedented funding, manpower, and technology.

The Trump administration is pushing "countries, financial institutions and businesses to roll back their climate change policies, using international forums ranging from the World Bank to stock market regulators." No concessions offered in return, just plain old-fashioned bullying.

🧠 Alzheimer’s reversed in mice

A new study found that injecting nanoparticles can 'remind' the blood–brain barrier to function properly again, restoring normal brain activity in mice. Human trials could follow within years.

Deliberate ignorance is not just a slogan people toss around; it's a studied psychological phenomenon. In this study, people were asked whether they would like to receive information on who would benefit from a sacrifice; some preferred not to know. 🧪

How does attention shape #AuditoryProcessing? This study shows that #attention enhances sound encoding only at the cortical level, not in #auditory periphery or #brainstem, so humans’ ability to focus on a single voice in noise relies on cortical mechanisms @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4pY5L1f
Subcortical sound encoding is not affected by selective attention, while cortical sound encoding is. Top left: The CAP to the attended (red) and unattended (black) speech for the 12 subjects with the eardrum electrode. Bottom left: The ABR for all 28 subjects when attended (red) or unattended (black). No significant differences were observed between conditions for either the CAP or ABR. Shaded regions represent SEM. Right: Cortical responses to attended (top) and unattended (middle) stimuli. Bottom right: The difference waveform and scalp topographies at the selected time points. Asterisks indicate the electrodes that were significantly different across conditions at that time.
