In this week’s Science Without Anguish:

‘Short cuts to lost potential’.

How confusing the simplifications we make to understand the world with the real thing can lead us astray.

The short cuts to lost potential
We know how it goes – a day spent reacting to other people’s emails or “quick chats” while our own to do list remains untouched at the end. Or losing ourselves in the first item on our list...

Science Without Anguish series 3: out now!

Could clear thinking about research life make it easier?

Next week: The short cuts our minds use to make sense of the world and the problems this can lead to.

Science Without Anguish Series 3 in out:

Don’t believe everything you think!

Confusing our mental shortcuts with reality.

Excusing ourselves but blaming others.

Not realising we’re doing it and making life harder for ourselves in the process.

How much of what we think we ‘know’ is just trust in the person that told us?

And what price do we pay for confusing the two?

Coming soon in Science Without Anguish:

‘Don’t believe everything you think!’

Morale?

I have colleagues there who are leaving NIH for jobs in China, France, Canada, industry, or retiring early.

That’s real.

Great to see @maxstetina.bsky.social here.
Max did a very productive internship with us last year looking at evolutionary conservation of SARM1 and NMNAT2.

Amazing to welcome HRH The Duchess of Edinburgh, Patron of Race Against Dementia to our lab! An incredible opportunity to showcase our work with living human brain slice cultures and the importance of investing in dementia research. We are very lucky to have her support.

Grateful for all the people mobilizing across the US and the world for #StandUpForScience! Many reasons motivating this movement, but yesterday as I was reviewing undergrads applications for summer internships, I was reminded of how important this is for the next generation of scientists.
