I'm creating a starter pack list of scientists, professionals, and students in the fields of neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, and behavioral science.

Just started the list. Check it out below 👇🏿

Blaming every problem on DEI is identity politics in its purest form. It’s as pure as the driven snow.

Working memory works better when neural activity is transient, rather than persistent. No wonder the brain does it that way.

Has anyone noticed that Gen-Z “fashion” is the same stuff we wore in the early 2000s? 😂

Apparently there is something called a “Nostalgia Pendulum”, where trends repeat around ≈ 30 years.

2000s were the 70s
2010s were the 80s
Seems now we’re repeating the 90s/2000s

Ever wanted to just scroll and learn about the brain? I just made the BrainSky Feed 🧠

The feed will pick up posts with the following hashtags: #neuroscience, #psychology, #cognitivescience, #psychiatry, #behavioraleconomics, neuroeconomics, neuropsychology, neurology, neurobiology, & psychobiology

Picked up my violin for the first time in 2 years. Such a relaxing feeling.

Aiming to get back into music as a form of artistic expression this year. I could feel the stress release. #violin #music #art

We had to get in on the video action too — Bluesky now has custom feeds for video!

Like any other feed, you can choose to pin these or not. Bluesky is yours to customize.

📹🎥🎬🎞️ I’m trying as hard as I can to post here regularly and migrate my 245K followers. I had high views because of my videos. The problem is there’s a one minute limit here and it means I have to transfer everything to YouTube first YouTube also censors my videos, not so if I just post on the site

People in academic neuroscience (professors, researchers, etc.), have professorship programs at unis become like those in many other fields where you’re expected to be coming in with your own funding?

Seeing this in the elitist bubble that is my town. New construction is all McMansions, zero starter homes, homeowners oppose additional affordable workforce housing, barred the construction of in-law apartments, tiny homes, and don’t allow short term rentals (VRBO, Airbnb). Very shortsighted.

Town: Our doctors, nurses, teachers etc. can no longer afford to live in our community, we’re proposing to make it easier to build more housing.

Residents: NO!

—1 year later—

Residents: Why’s my favorite restaurant closing? Why do I wait 5 hours at the hospital?

Town: 😐

Just saw Nosferatu. I loved the after credits scene where Dr. Frankenstein made an appearance and said “I’m building a team.”

Increases in antihistamine usage (the ones people use for sleep 😴 like Benadryl/ZzzQuil) will likely further boost cases of dementia within this century.

Some studies and references synthesized here: www.perplexity.ai/search/find-...

These numbers are crazy. A generation of young people with dementia waits for us in the near future, and we are not prepared for that. #NeuroCovid

*Testing the algorithm* I’m planning to see Nosferatu soon. Is it worth seeing in “IMAX with laser”?

I’ve never heard of IMAX with Laser until this week. #film #cinema #nosferatu

What do you think we should do to reverse declining birth rates?

This seems to mostly be an economics problem, as many cite high costs for their reluctance to have children.

Do any people from #economics, #politicalscience, or #psychology have any thoughts on how we might solve the problem?

I was interviewed at CES this morning. We mentioned that consumers will decide whether they want to be on a platform that is “unfiltered free speech “ or “ moderated”. I mentioned that I loved @bsky.app , and spontaneously people started clapping 🔥.

I forgot to put hashtags on the previous post. Not sure if that boosts reach, but testing here.

I'm not being hyperbolic when I say that a combo of yerba mate + green tea is the closest thing I've found to Adderall (and I was prescribed Adderall). I searched and tested different supplements, nootropics, & etc. for years. (1/2)
