For example, consider this excellent 33-post 🧵 from @jeremymberg.bsky.social, who used to lead NIGMS
Written from the perspective of a scientist, it describes the long chain of discoveries needed to produce this week's release of an exciting new, non-opioid pain reliever onto the market

Bluetorial: The path to a new pain medication with little potential for addiction
Perhaps a good story to share with folks who want to learn about how biomedical research works and where advances come from.

Since I have way more non-academic followers than I ever would have imagined: a short explainer.
TL;DR: Substantially cutting indirect costs will either mean raising tuition and fees, or laying off a bunch of mid- and low-salary staff and students.

Good blog post on describing why the NIH drop in IDC would have such negative effects. It is clear, non-technical and has things that can be done by everyone www.kateringland.com/the-hidden-b...
The Hidden Backbone of Research: How a 15% Cap on Indirect Costs Will Devastate Universities
So, if we’re serious about keeping research alive, it’s time to push back. Because 15% isn’t just a cut—it’s a death sentence for academic institutions as we know them.

New paper out in #Neuron: A general theory of sequential working memory in prefrontal cortex and RNN/SSMs with their exact neural mechanism. Plus unifying this new mechanism with the alternate mechanism of hippocampal cognitive maps! (1/9)

In Jan 2022, over 🌮s, Jason & I kicked off a project on sequential media selection. A theory article (doi.org/10.1093/hcr/...) laid the foundation. Now, a new preprint using real-world data, careful experimentation, & computational modeling shows how curiosity modulates exploration. Way to go Jason!

Interview with Daniel MacArthur
This is an interview with Daniel MacArthur, whom I first met when he was at Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital, and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard in Boston.
