Does anyone know how to get your Bluesky algorithm to show more science related posts/people? I'm dying over here in political content. While important, I am here for learning and networking.

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity.

This is a major win for public health.

🚨 I am pleased to share w/ everyone a new Nature #Neuroscience paper led by Dr. Pablo Gimenez-Gomez from the lab of Dr. Gilles Martin @umasschan.bsky.social

In this paper, we found a specific #alcohol activated neuronal ensemble that functions to suppress binge drinking behavior.

Suppression of binge alcohol drinking by an inhibitory neuronal ensemble in the mouse medial orbitofrontal cortex - Nature Neuroscience
This study demonstrates that high alcohol concentrations during binge drinking activate a small GABAergic neuronal ensemble in the medial orbitofrontal cortex, which subsequently reduces further alcoh...
