It seems that only the science community is noticing that NIH and NSF budgets are cut 40% and 55% in the budget bill, respectively. If you live in Maine, West Va, Pennsylvania, Alabama, or Louisiana, CALL YOUR SENATOR as they could make a difference. See below.

Will the Senate Save NIH?
Rescuing biomedical research is every bit as important as saving Medicaid.

After 21 years at my dream job, I’m very sad to announce my early retirement from the National Institutes of Health. My life’s work has been to scientifically study how our food environment affects what we eat, and how what we eat affects our physiology.

New paper out in Cell Reports! Led by @susieyufeng.bsky.social, we found that chronic epilepsy in mice drives distinct synchronization deficits in hippocampus and MEC, with early changes in HPC and late-onset changes in MEC that align with progressive memory impairment.
www.cell.com/cell-reports...
Screenshot of article entitled "Distinct changes to hippocampal and medial entorhinal circuits emerge across the progression of cognitive deficits in epilepsy" by Yu Feng, Keziah S. Diego, Zhe Dong, ..., Nadia N. Khan, Denise J. Cai, and Tristan Shuman. In brief: Feng et al. demonstrate that memory deficits in temporal lobe epilepsy involve multiple discrete mechanisms with distinct time courses. In epileptic mice, early-onset memory deficits are associated with disrupted hippocampal synchronization, while more severe, lateonset impairments are associated with disrupted synchrony of medial entorhinal cortex circuits.
