Hard to believe, but things could worsen further at NIH. Call your congress people and ask them to support Rep. DeGette’s bill.

Lunchtime for one of Stanford’s great blue herons. Not positive about the menu but guessing pocket gopher.

Quick reminder that things are not going great on the domestic front either. If a single headline could sum up everything that is wrong with the MAGA movement:

My brain’s semantic network has two very distinct nodes, separated by a sizable path length, for « bird » and « owl ». Owls seem closer to some unnameable third thing than they do to birds.

Saw a varied thrush this morning—an obvious, auspicious omen for the year to come. All robins of late and then this visitation. May all your robins turn out, on closer inspection, to be varied thrushes or, better still, may you see the varied thrush in every robin (photos from Merlin app).

Walter Koroshetz was a steady hand at the helm of NINDS over the last decade (and especially over the last year which must have felt like a decade to him). I'm sorry to see him go and shudder at the prospect of a Jay Bhattacharya-endorsed replacement.
