30 days to the launch of Elusive Cures! I learned so much writing it, and I want to share it.
For the next 30 days, I'll post brain & mind research breakthroughs on odd days, and highlight unmet needs on even ones. #ElusiveCures30
First breakthrough: /1

This time-lapse captures 17 hours of axonal growth from a chicken dorsal root ganglion explant, visualized through the actin cytoskeleton using live confocal imaging.
I just submitted this video to the Nikon Small World in Motion competition. Today is the last day to upload yours! 😉

THIS IS ONE NEURON! Jaw dropping.
It distributes a particular neurotransmitter (norepinephrine) across the mouse brain; it’s a locus coeruleus neuron.
@jeremiahycohen.bsky.social and colleagues at the @alleninstitute.bsky.social are using new biotech to see things never seen before.

This is what NIH-funded research leads to. Cures for disease.
A two-and-a-half-year-old girl shows no signs of a rare genetic disorder, after becoming the first person to be treated for the motor-neuron condition while in the womb.

If you care about science & higher ed in America right now, your world has changed.
We have been forced into a battle we didn’t choose.
Whatever our titles, our jobs now also includes emergency response, psychological first aid, organizing & many other things we weren’t trained in

Maryland: In 2024, 4 schools received more than $10 million in grants from the NIH for a total of $1.13 billion. Of that, $699 million went directly to research and $431 went to facilities and administration. The new rate would bring that to $105 million, a loss of $326 million.
