Watching my 8-year-old, proudly learning to make his own breakfast, put THREE eggs in the ham and eggs he won't finish.

Reminder that a study on lizard saliva eventually led to the development of Ozempic so be real wary of the criticism of studies and funding that sounds non-sensical when presented with no context.

The phrase "Fast and Loose and Dumb and Wrong" has been in my head ever since I read this Dave Eggers piece five years ago, and it was screaming through my head today.

The National Institutes of Health's Payment Management Service (PMS) is currently down due to what is essentially a bank run. Most federal grants and contracts are set up as "cost-reimbursible," which means you draw the money from a federal account AFTER you spend it.

Anybody got any good prompt tips for making NotebookLM audio overviews without the AI talking to you like you're an idiot? I tried "assume I'm not an idiot" and it didn't work.

A little bit of self-promotion for the hobby I don't often have enough spare time for.
Finally finished more wood carvings of versions of Ramón y Cajal's classic golgi stains and they're up on Etsy. You can also DM me to buy directly. Apologies for not having these up in time for the holidays. Maybe you need a belated present for your favorite neuroscientist?

Thanks to all my teenage nieces and nephews who are asking for money for Christmas because it is such a massive time-saver, but I do feel bad just giving them an envelope. So I've been putting the money in 3D-printed puzzle boxes, and this one is my favorite so far.

Time for Christmas, time for a less boring package for the cash my nephews will get. Last year it took them all of 5 seconds to get at their cash, hopefully this one will take them a little bit longer...

I was deeply disappointed by the lack of nature/science/climate/enviro on many major end-of-year book lists—so I decided to make my own!

I know I'm hard to Christmas-shop for, like probably most of the 40-something dads you know, and I've been meaning to make a list of my favorite things to help friends figure out gifts for their own 40-something dads. This seems like a good way to test drive this shiny new BlueSky account.
