1. We are so understandably caught up in the present - Jordan Neely, Proud Boys, Justice Thomas, etc. - that it's easy to forget what happened on this day 53 years ago. But we should never forget May 4, 1970. It made us what we are today. A short thread because...

Great day visiting Neuroscience at UC Berkeley! Here's David Weisblat teaching me about leeches. Great time catching up with Steve Brohawn Diana Bautista Ellen Lumpkin Rich Kramer danfeldman.bsky.social and meeting Andrea Gomez and students including @DocterTrevor Antony Lurie et al.

I love Barcelona. How many cities have quotes by neuroscientists gracing their streets?

Have you ever wondered what our MBL scientists are working on? Check out this #ScienceShort featuring MBL Associate Scientist Andrew Gillis (Andrew Gillis)!

The amazing Rich Kramer and yours truly published the disulfiram paper a little over two years ago. Today we already see: Clinical Trial #1, Seattle WA clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05626… already recruiting Clinical Trial #2, Rochester NY classic.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT06… to start recruiting soon!

10 years ago, I got divorced, lost my job, so me and my buddy got on our motorcycles and rode North to the Alaskan Arctic until the road ran out.

I had an interesting experience with Marjorie Taylor Greene today. Apparently, she got tired of hearing all the jokes about her being dumb. She decided to prove a point and went home one night to study all the world capitals of every country. Today at work she overheard myself

PhD programs are pausing admissions to graduate school due to NIH indirect cost cuts. See the growing number of programs here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d… How is science supposed to advance with fewer trainees, less $ for research? This is devastating.

President Trump and Elon Musk’s funding cuts to groundbreaking medical research do NOT Make America Great. That’s why I’m on the Senate floor introducing a resolution pledging support for NIH & asking for immediate passage. Watch. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
