Lionel knows what’s up #Caturday
A close up of the head of a seated black and white/tuxedo cat named Lionel. He is staring directly at the camera with a look that the photographer interprets as wisdom. Other interpretations of his gaze are welcome.

Spouse & i did our 5th #Gritty5K Aside from the
#CakeInTheFace that the offspring & I got one year, this sequence of shots from this AM are some o the best I’ve gotten: beady #Gritty eye, frosting wrapping around her face, her arms akimbo. Thanks #flyers 4 a lovely annual distraction from real life
Gritty, the Philadelphia Flyers hockey mascot winding up to throw a cake at a person in the foreground. She stands with her back to us, arms akimbo. We can only see Gritty’s right eye, his hockey helmet, and part of his bright orange jersey. The sky behind him is bright blue and there is a crowd surrounding the spectacle. 1/3 Gritty rises up as he begins to take his swing, cake in hand. His right eye is higher and more obvious that in prior picture. The volunteer/victim in the foreground remains arms akimbo. 2/3 The cake has been thrown at the face of the volunteer/victim. She remains with arms akimbo, but the frosting wraps around one side of her head and chunks of cake wrap around the other. Gritty’s right eye is visible and focused on his target. 3/3.

What a pleasure it was today to host @elisabethbik.bsky.social today in Philadelphia for both a noon seminar for CHOP/PennMed and an afternoon workshop with our (the bluesky-less Eeic Marsh and myself) current and recent NINDS T32 trainees. Informative, engaging, and inspiring. #ImageForensics
The image shows a presentation at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. The speaker, Dr. Elisabeth Bik, is standing at a podium that has the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia logo displayed in blue letters. On the large projection screen, there's a slide titled "Publications are the foundation of science" with a brick wall image on the right side credited to "Ivan Radic, www.Flickr.com". The slide lists four bullet points about science: • builds upon science • is about finding the truth • is built on trust • is not immune to fraud

My lab members and I pictured in an article in the @inquirer.com about a recent on campus protest about (waves hands around) all this. Thanks @aaup-penn.bsky.social for organizing. tinyurl.com/2zabxsj9 but might be paywalled #ScienceIsDefiance #NoKings
The image from a Philadelphia Inquirer news article shows a protest rally in Philadelphia with a group of people holding signs. One prominent sign reads "NIH GRANTS bring PA $5.23 BILLION in ECONOMIC ACTIVITY." Another visible sign says "FUND DON'T FREEZE." The header at the top reads "PHILADELPHIA" and the headline below the image states "Penn unions rally to encourage administration to oppose federal funding cuts, canceling of diversity initiatives." A partial subheading is visible mentioning that "Penn unions delivered a petition." The protesters are advocating for continued federal research funding and against cuts to diversity programs at the University of Pennsylvania.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Science is defiance! This afternoon at PUREL (Penn Undergrad Research in the Eisch Lab) students gave a great presentation on this 2024 paper by Schuler et al. from @rcbagot.bsky.social lab. #MoSeq 1/3
A screen capture of the title and authors list for this scientific paper: "Data-Driven Analysis Identifies Novel Modulation of Social Behavior in Female Mice Witnessing Chronic Social Defeat Stress" Below the title is a list of authors: Heike Schuler, Rand S. Eid, Serena Wu, Yiu-Chung Tse, Vedrana Cvetkovska, Joëlle Lopez, Rosalie Quinn, Delong Zhou, Juliet Meccia, Laurence Dion-Albert, Shannon N. Bennett, Emily L. Newman, Brian C. Trainor, Catherine J. Peña, Caroline Menard, and Rosemary C. Bagot Want to look up this paper? Here is the full citation: Schuler H, Eid RS, Wu S, Tse YC, Cvetkovska V, Lopez J, Quinn R, Zhou D, Meccia J, Dion-Albert L, Bennett SN. Data-driven analysis identifies novel modulation of social behavior in female mice witnessing chronic social defeat stress. Biological psychiatry. 2024 Dec 3. PMID: 39638223 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopsych.2024.11.017 The image, from Schuler et al., 2024, shows a schematic labeled "Figure 1A" illustrating experimental procedures for studying chronic social stress in mice. Top panel ("Chronic Social Witness / Defeat Stress"): The image depicts a test chamber divided by a dashed line. On the left side, a white mouse (marked with a male symbol ♂) is shown on top of a black mouse (also marked with a male symbol ♂), demonstrating social defeat interaction. On the right side, a smaller brown mouse (marked with a female symbol ♀) is positioned as an observer, representing the "witness" condition. Bottom panel ("Social Interaction Test"): Two test configurations are shown: "No Target Trial": A test arena with a mouse in the center and an empty enclosure (shown as a dashed outline) in the "Interaction Zone" (dark gray U-shaped area) "Target Trial": The same arena but with a target mouse present in the enclosure within the "Interaction Zone" The legend indicates "Interaction Zone" (dark gray) and "Corner Zone" (light gray), which are designated areas for measuring social behavior. The design allows researchers to compare how mice that either directly experienced defeat stress or witnessed it respond to social interaction opportunities, measuring their approach or avoidance behaviors in relation to a target mouse.

TODAY #Philadelphia @standupforscience.bsky.social 11am City Hall. There may or may not be a cute cat picture added along with the flyer and pics of my double sided sign below (secret: it is actually 4-sided…my special “quadrisign”, patent pending). #StandUpForScience #50501 #Indivisible #NoKings
The image shows a handwritten protest sign with bold text on a white background with blue borders. The sign reads "RESEARCH" (in black with blue outlines) at the top, followed by "IS CHEAPER THAN" (in red with a red arrow pointing to it), and "DISEASE" (in black with blue outlines) at the bottom. The sign appears to be advocating for research funding by highlighting that investing in research is more cost-effective than treating diseases after they occur. The image shows a handwritten sign on a light background that reads: "NIH GRANTS BRING PA $5.23 BILLION IN ECONOMIC ACTIVITY FY 2024" At the bottom right corner, there appears to be text indicating "SOURCE: UNITED FOR MEDICAL RESEARCH" A promotional flyer for 'Stand Up For Science 2025' featuring the Statue of Liberty in light blue against a blue background. The statue holds a torch with a yellow flame. Red banners contain white text announcing the event details: March 7, 2025 at Philadelphia City Hall at 11 AM. The flyer includes the tagline 'SCIENCE IS FOR EVERYONE' and directs viewers to find their local rally site at standupforscience2025.org. The design combines patriotic imagery with bold, modern typography in red and white."​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ A black and white tuxedo cat, our Hermione, with bright yellow eyes stares directly at the camera with a surprised expression. Hermione is nestled in what appears to be a fabric hammock or bed with colorful rainbow stripes in the background. Hermione, one of our three rescue cat from West Philadelphia, looks excited and alert as if she's ready for today's Stand Up For Science event happening at Philadelphia City Hall.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Our three rescued tuxedo cat siblings from West Philadelphia lounge on top of me (back tap) and on a floral quilt (front one). Lionel sits upright in a perfect loaf position in the foreground, while two more (Hermione and Sabrina/Beans) relax behind them with identical black/grey and white markings. All three cats have alert expressions with bright eyes looking directly at the camera. A glass of water and phone are visible on a side table in the background. My head and eyeglasses are just barely visible on the upper left corner of the picture.
