White House says food, toxins among reasons for poor U.S. health
Parts of the “MAHA report” contradict scientific consensus.

🧠💭 Why do some people remember their dreams more than others?
In our new preprint, we used multimodal neuroimaging (qMRI, DTI, rs-fMRI) and data-driven analysis (LICA) in 258 participants (!!!), revealing unique structural and functional brain signatures linked to dream recall frequency.

In addition to gutting Medicaid and SNAP, the House Reconciliation bill takes aim at the clean energy boom 🔋🌱
Slashing clean energy tax credits = slashing jobs in your own district 💼⚡️
Let’s see how that plays out 👀

#tankdolls America's Tiananmen Square! On June 14th for Trump's $45 million dollar birthday parade, consider bringing one of your 29 extra dolls and tossing it under the wheels of a military vehicle to protest Trump's disastrous economic and health policies.

I'm convinced that at least some of the cultural resentment at academia is rooted on the completely mistaken belief that we all are have permanent job security, make six figure salaries to teach 4 hours a week with summers off, and get to spend all our time Thinking, capital-t.
I told my sister-in-law my salary last night & she was totally shocked. she was like, “I was sure you were in the six-figures.” she works in medical administration & makes 20K more than me a year
just so everyone knows—assistant professors in English lit DO NOT make six figures.
