Check out our new work in JSLHR where we consider ethical issues in collection of daylong audio recordings in children with language delays and disabilities. This work was part of a bioethics supplement from NIDCD. @dmessinger.bsky.social

Using automated, digital data collection -- e.g., daylong audio recordings of children's language environments -- is yielding important insights for research in CSD. But ethical issues have yet to be thoroughly explored. This study does just that. on.asha.org/45hnjh5 @sigperspectives.bsky.social

Barack Obama@barackobama.bsky.social · last yr.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

From a piece of tissue 1*1*1 millimeter: the largest wiring diagram and functional map of the brain to date, containing more than 200,000 cells, four kilometers of axons (the branches that reach out to other cells) and 523 million synapses (the connection points between cells).

Scientists complete largest wiring diagram and functional map of the brain to date

From a tiny sample of tissue no larger than a grain of sand, scientists have come within reach of a goal once thought unattainable: building a complete functional wiring diagram of a portion of the br...

There's a protein craze. How much protein should you eat? In Outlive, Peter Attia's recommendation of 1 g/pound/day is without evidence and may be harmful "Dr. Attia declined multiple requests for comment" @nytimes.com by @alicecallahan.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/w...

The More Protein, the Better? (Gift Article)

It’s a common refrain on social media. We fact-checked this and five other big protein claims circulating online.

Rumeysa Ozturk must not be deported. You can't kidnap someone off the street for their political views — this isn't Moscow. She has every right to speak her mind. I've contacted the Administration. I want answers.

Rumeysa Ozturk, aTufts human development PhD student, was kidnapped by ICE in broad daylight on the streets of Somerville today, presumably because of pro-Palestinian activism. No info has been shared with her attorney about her whereabouts or alleged charges. www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...

“Nobody feels like their job is safe. Everyone is on edge,” said Kim Hasenkrug, an NIH scientist emeritus… “Even the top people can’t keep track because they’re hiring and firing so much. Direct supervisors of those who were terminated didn’t even know that it was happening.”

At NIH, ‘everyone is on edge’ as they brace for deep cuts and more centralized control

As the NIH braces for cuts of up to 5,000 of its 20,000 positions, “people are scrambling and freaking out,” a researcher said.

This isn't going to get the attention of Columbia, but it's at least as bad: the University of Maine is having its funding cut off because the governor of Maine dared to challenge Trump.

Congresswoman Chellie Pingree@pingree.house.gov · last yr.

I'm appalled by the USDA's decision to pause funding to the University of Maine System. This will hurt our farmers, halt critical research, and impact students throughout Maine. Once again, our state is being targeted for retribution—all because our officials are standing up for the rule of law.
