The Trump administration is a fascist administration, but the United States is not yet a fascist state.
Total state capture takes time. Every obstacle we can present as individuals, groups, communities, and institutions helps slow that process.
Everything we do to resist matters. It ALL matters.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

So cool!
🧠🌟🐭 Excited to share some of my postdoc work on the evolution of dexterity!
We compared deer mice evolved in forest vs prairie habitats. We found that forest mice have:
(1) more corticospinal neurons (CSNs)
(2) better hand dexterity
(3) more dexterous climbing, which is linked to CSN number🧵

Hello, I am interested in getting into animal tracking and pose estimation (etc...). Does anyone who is regularly doing this have any camera recommendations?
Thanks a bunch!

It’s postdoc appreciation week and a recent study found postdoc depression & anxiety rates are rising. Why?
- underpaid
- underutilized
- overworked
- unappreciated
- lack of funding
- competitive atmosphere
Postdocs are seen as “trainees” as a way to exploit cheap labor, despite expertise.

FlyBase, a Drosophila database, will lose a third of its team in early October because the Harvard grant that covered the employees’ salaries was canceled. Scientists warn that losing FlyBase could devastate fly research.

Being an academic right now feels like riding in a car that has the check engine and low fuel light on, and you know you there isn't a gas station for at least the next three years.
How long before it stalls in the middle of the rode?
How long before you get off?
How long before we all get off.

came across an email i sent a friend 2 years ago: "anytime i break form, i find there’s almost zero tolerance for anything different/innovative. i trust the audience enough that they’ll see what i’m trying to do, but the editors do not."
cheers to breaking form and making shit happen your own way.

Switching from VC to I=0 before going to IC solved all my problems
Need some ephyz advice so please repost:
I am using a multiclamp 700b and clampex. I keep having an issue where my cells die after I transition from the membrane test in clampex to current clamp in the multiclamp commander.
Does anyone have any recommendations for making this transition.
