Donating food 🥘

💔💚 It is heartbreaking how heartless, selfish and cruel Republican politicians and their voters behave these days 😡

I just donated to my local food bank. If you can, you should too. People are already suffering but next month, in particular, is going to be so difficult.

Let this sink in…

“At least one expert now predicting this could trigger greatest hunger catastrophe in the U.S. since the Great Depression.”

📌 The Dept of Agriculture posted a notice on its website saying federal food aid won’t go out on November 1.

Finally read the paper and it's worth the buzz.
mRNA vaccines saved 20 million lives in a global pandemic and the technology is opening up new avenues for the treatment of deadly cancers. This is really one of the most impactful scientific developments of our time.

We painted a mural 🤓!

A neural mural of the #hippocampus @ Portland State University 🎨🧠💚🔱⚡️😍👉🏼 nwnoggin.org/2025/10/03/p...

Section of neural mural of the hippocampus at PSU - 3rd floor skybridge between Cramer & Smith Mural signage: Mural inspired by the drawings of Santiago Ramón y Cajal, an artist and founder of the field of neuroscience. These are the cells and circuits of the hippocampus, a brain region essential for creating memories. Your hippocampus links this current moment with related experiences from your past. What are you reminded of as you follow the neural pathways above? What forgotten landscape, what long-lost story, is called home by the beauty of these striking, vital connections?

Image captured at 4X on a fluorescence microscope showing a tissue section through the mouse prefrontal cortex where neurons that project to the locus coeruleus in the brainstem are virally labeled in red and neurons that are activated are labeled with Fos in green.
