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.

Busy bookworm or targeted hunter? Check out this amazing work on using computational modeling for exploring #curiosity in book selection!

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!
