Had this nagging feeling that what’s going on in the US had a familiar tone. I think I’ve got it. The entire US has been turned into a colossal version of Zimbardo’s Stanford Prison Experiment.

If the abstract I'm reading tells me Drp1 was "upgraded" I stop reading. If a journal isn't rigorous enough to request the correction of a simple grammatical error in the abstract then how do I trust their rigor elsewhere?

I NEED to tell you the story of Tae Heung “William” Kim.
He's a graduate student at Texas A&M where he's working on a vaccine for Lyme disease.
He's a *legal permanent resident* of the United States.
And he's been in ICE detention for 12 days & counting, transferred Tuesday to South Texas.

After a hiatus of several years (while not producing research output) I just reviewed for Springer Nature and noticed that emails were signed with "Journal Name" or "Editorial Assistant" not the name of the editor or editorial assistant. Is this common practice now?

Individual bioenergetic capacity as a potential source of resilience to Alzheimer’s disease - Nature Communications
Bioenergetic capacity, the ability to maintain energy balance under stress, can be monitored using blood acylcarnitine profiles. Improving this capacity may slow Alzheimer’s disease progression.

My favourite example: before the law prohibited it pubs in England would salt the beer to make people want to drink more. (Now they have worked out that they can even sell you the salt, in the form of crisps and peanuts.)

they’re treating medical research as some kind of favor to bestow, rather than what it is — arduous painstaking and unprofitable work done for all Americans

I cannot think of a single scientific or justifiable reason to suddenly cut research on brain regions, other than revenge on Columbia. I think many of us have to realize that we are likely next
