This is a nice example of a high profile journal @NatureNeuro publishing an important failure to replicate several earlier high impact papers. Nice to see that the tide is turning on publication of important null results in neuroscience! https://twitter.com/SoulaMarisol/status/1632780245177597965
Time to toot. #Utah peeps. The Utah state legislature is trying to sneak in a bill (introduced on a saturday afternoon days before the close of the session) to ban EDI initiatives on public colleges and universities. So if you live in #utah, join me in writing to the Governor and our legislators and tell them to vote no on #SB0283. https://le.utah.gov/~2023/bills/static/SB0283.html
The Haunting Brain Science of Long COVID:
Matt (24 years old): “I feel like I’m underwater. When you talk to me, I can hear you, but my doesn’t understand words. I can’t comprehend what you’re saying. I have no intellectual capacity to digest data.”
In this piece I wrote for STAT, I use science to raise awareness of a growing public health nightmare hiding in plain sight - Neuro-Long COVID. I unpack 20 relevant medical articles.
Check it out & stay safe.

And based on what's happened the past 48 hours on Twitter... think forward
Imagine - say - Washington Post revealed abuse of workers at a Tesla plant in Shanghai
What would happen?
Would it be dealt with fairly? Now I really doubt it. The reporter(s) would get blocked, and links to the story flagged.
Twitter is no longer a reliable and predictable place for news and the first take on the news.

Please amplify Susan’s request to @UHC@twitter.com. This needs more daylight.
UnitedHealthcare: one of your underwriters is handing Susan (@Perri4health@twitter.com) a death sentence by not covering her treatment, against the judgement of her oncologist.
Fix it now.
Signed,
Everyone with a conscience

Terrible news, Chethan Pandarinath posted on Twitter that Krishna Shenoy has died. He had long been battling cancer. A huge leader in the field, developing BCI and unraveling motor cortical dynamics, and as kind, generous, and gentle a soul as you could hope to meet.
anyone here stained brain tissue for glial markers like GFAP or Iba-1 and have a protocol they could share? The goal is to localize electrode tracks but any protocol for glia could work. TIA! #neuroscience #glia

The #brain floats in a sea of #fluid that cushions it against injury, supplies it with #nutrients and carries away waste. Disruptions to the normal ebb and flow of the fluid have been linked to #neurological conditions including #Alzheimer’s disease and #hydrocephalus, a disorder involving excess fluid around the brain.
