A little text about my journey with bipolar disorder. Seeing scientists speak openly about their experiences encouraged me to help break the stigma too. A part of me feels insecure about sharing this, but it also feels like the right thing to do.

Manipulating the activity of these immune cells could provide a way to reduce the severity of heart attacks

Putting immune cells into ‘night mode’ reduces heart-attack damage
Drugs that limit the activity of cells called neutrophils could make heart attacks less severe without compromising the immune system.

Birds lay eggs in a diverse array of colors, patterns, sizes, and shapes.
After looking at nearly 50,000 eggs from more than 1400 bird species, researchers in Science found that egg shape is related to flight ability.

Killer whales and dolphins seen hunting together in rare video
Researchers say the footage, captured near the North-West Pacific coast, is the first recorded evidence of the two working together.

One thing I have learned ever since talking openly about my life with bipolar disorder is that, yeah, there are still many people interpreting hypomanic or depressive states as character flaws.

A feature in Nature outlines how researchers are using artificial intelligence to decode the speech of animals, and the technology may enable humans someday to talk back to them. 🧪
AI is helping to decode animals’ speech. Will it also let us talk with them?
The complexity of vocal communication in some primates, whales and birds might approach that of human language.

Too often, I see people talk about a replication as if the first study has established something, and the replication study is a double-check. What people often fail to understand is that we do not do replication studies to *check* a finding, but to *establish* a finding. 1/x

We introduce a mathematical model of cultural evolution to study cultural traits that shape how individuals exchange information. Current theory focuses on traits that influence the reception of information (receiver traits), such as evaluating whether ...
