Bye, y'all, I'm out. Come find me on the other place! 🦋 @ dougp
Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.
🎉Congratulations to @PopovTori on receiving the prestigious F99/K00 NIH BRAIN Initiative Diversity Specialized Predoctoral to Postdoctoral Advancement in Neuroscience award from the @ninds! #URochesterResearch Read more about her & her research in the @CNL_Rochester…
Listen to this winner of the Nobel Prize-ala!
Huge congratulations to my friend and colleague @NathanASmith1 on his new position. Nathan's energy and enthusiasm for mentoring make him exactly the right person for this, and it's great to see @URochester_SMD devoting resources to this critical component of biomedical research.

Congratulations to the newly minted Dr. Gregory Reilly! Greg successfully defended his thesis last week and we're writing up his work on sex differences in #celegans behavioral states now. #ceneuro24 folks will get a sneak preview next week!

My opinion of @elonmusk I like his cars (I own a 2015 S, and 2023 S), his rockets, his solar energy systems, and his satellite communication system. I also like his positions on open source and patents. But I very much disagree with him on a number of issues. I disagree with…
