Battle between Trump and universities hurting scientific research in need of federal funding
Federal research funding to universities has fueled breakthroughs for years. The White House is pressuring universities to align with the president's political agenda, or risk losing their funding.

Bullies gain power when their misconduct succeeds in causing righteous people to yield in the face of wrongdoing. That’s why voting for Trump's continuing resolution - without any protection against his health care cuts or his growing illegality - is a mistake.

I voted NO.

First Asian American mayor of Cincinnati!

Lots of firsts tonight.

First Muslim woman as Lt. Gov. of VA

People are voting for the America they want.

Powerfully.

And it MEANS something.

They’re voting against what they DON’T want.

Take heart!
Pureval got 81% of the votes over Vance’s brother! First Asian-American mayor of Cincinnati!

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

This is precisely what the kleptocrats wanted all along.

Because whatever profits they could reap from future investments in research won't outweigh the costs of allowing the public to be informed.
A Nature poll found that 75% of U.S. researchers are considering leaving the country.

Guyz, even the *historians* are leaving or contemplating / likely to go. Including, at least 3 historians that I know of in my subfield. 😢

Talking about spooky stuff…try to do awake mouse fMRI.
Oh, you want it spookier? Try to add simultaneous Ca2+ imaging.

Now, do it all again, longitudinally….

So proud to finally have this out!!!

Transfer learning via distributed brain recordings enables reliable speech decoding - Nature Communications
Speech brain-computer interfaces face challenges scaling across individuals with different brain organization. Using minimally invasive recordings from 25 patients, the authors developed transfer learning methods that enable robust speech decoding even with incomplete brain coverage.
