Amid all the attention CK is getting, let’s not forget those who are suffering in my community as a direct result of his hateful ideology. When they examine the weapon, they will find his fingerprints all over it!

Hard to believe there’s much demand for supplements, but in case you’re running low, I’m happy to report that it’s readily available at Whole Foods. Free range and organic too!

President Trump today named Marcus Welby, MD, to be Director of the NIH’s National Institute of General Medical Sciences and Margret Houlihan as Director of the National Institute of Nursing Research, calling them “as qualified as any one else I’ve nominated” and “straight from central casting.”

I was delighted to have an editorial in my hometown paper on the administration's threat to the NIH and what it means for the health and welfare of my peeps. For the good it may do, I urge you to also write one @sciencehomecoming.bsky.social
Bonus: It's cathartic to write a scream into the void.

I was just checking in at my small, rural hometown newspaper to see how I could submit an opinion piece on the NIH conflagration (you should too! see: sciencehomecoming.com), and I came across this letter to the editor that seems like a pretty effective way to open eyes in rural small towns. 🔥🔥

From one of my NIH scientist/administrator friends yesterday. This the very real real-time cruelty of the thugs who have seized control of our government from us! #resist

Hey WCBR friends - are you curious about what the dealio is with microdosing? Come hear the latest preclinical and human neuroscience and cardiovascular evidence and join us for a discussion with a microdosing coach for real world evidence. 4:30 @ Monument Peak. Unrelated: this place is beautiful.

Good morning #ACNP2024! Had enough neuroscience yet? Time to learn a little cardiology (as performed by neuroscientist. @Devineffinger.Bsky.social). Specifically, does chronic microdosing of LSD pose a cardiovascular risk by chronically activating 5HT2B receptors? Find out at poster W234 today!!
