You have to read @kelseytea.bsky.social excellent work on dexterity in deer mice evolved in forest vs prairie habitats. A powerful example of cross species comparisons to study principles of motor control ✅

Kelsey Tyssowski@kelseytea.bsky.social · 10mo ago

🧠🌟🐭 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🧵

wow, I'm proud of PhD student Jake Stephens' work with Tim Cope and me on understanding multi sensory proprioceptive integration on this work.

Experimental Physiology@expphysiol.bsky.social · 10mo ago

🎓EDITOR'S PICK🎓 In this #ShortCommunications Stephens, @lenating.bsky.social and Cope (Emory University and Georgia Institute of Technology) question how can combinations of feedback from multiple propriosensor types signal muscle mechanical state variables for control. 📜 buff.ly/PLi6tYp

New nationwide data links TCE exposure to higher Parkinson’s risk. Trichloroethylene or TCE is a widely used industrial solvent and environmental contaminant that can be found in air, soil and water. New paper: TCE associated w/ increased risk of Parkinson’s in older adults across USA.

Congrats @vulcnethologist.bsky.social on a great paper! This a cool technology that is the future of tracking motion within the body during behavior. @movementscience.bsky.social this might be what we need for tracking muscles and tendon during movement!

Our first preprint has been accepted for publication www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... !! tldr: @ezeyulu00.bsky.social , @amartyapradhan.bsky.social , @dkoveal.bsky.social and I developed a method using injectable nanoparticles to turn mice into…constellations in motion. 🧵⤵️

Sign the petition to restore eligibility of 2nd year grad students to the NSF GRFP. They are being robbed of the opportunities to advance their innovative science. @chubicki.bsky.social

Jeremy Yoder says no war@jbyoder.org · 10mo ago

We've already got hundreds of students and mentors here, sharing how the sudden policy change has derailed plans. We're looking at formally "delivering" results to NSF leadership tomorrow, please do keep sharing and spreading the word: laurenkuehne.github.io/grfpChanges/

My colleagues in BME started a podcast to explain the importance of biomedical engineering research and why we need to prioritize keeping these impactful innovations funded. Go Zach and Erin!

Zach Danziger@danzigerzachary.bsky.social · 10mo ago

Why would I co-produce a science podcast? I think everyone needs to understand, especially now, how valuable the methods of science are to our world. We hope to show the science skeptical and science curious why biomedical science is so amazing. Blog: scholarblogs.emory.edu/danziger/202...

NIH has rescinded its scientific integrity policy. Hard to see this as anything other than clearing the way for shoddy research on things like vaccines. Regardless of the rationale, it's bad news for public health. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...
