Trump attempts to freeze $3 trillion in federal grants. If this goes through, the nuclear blast radius will be huge—Suicide hot line, domestic violence shelters, cancer survivors. Time to see how strong our checks and balances are. Congress, universities and governors, it’s beyond time to engage

Question for anyone with a brain & mind 😉 that is not themselves a brain/mind researcher or a clinician:

What types of information about the brain & mind do you wish would be spelled out more clearly? And what format would you prefer to access it (books? blogs? video?)
