Unfortunately the anti-education chuds don’t care about data They hate that the majority of college students are women, so they are devaluing college like they devalued other women dominated fields

Brenda Milner is a hero and 108!! She did a lot more than discover the hippocampus is linked to declarative memory, but that work is the most famous.

Neuroscientist Dr. Brenda Milner is recognized as one of the fundamental founders of modern cognitive neuropsychology. She proved the hippocampus is essential for forming long-term "declarative" memory (facts, names & events). She was born #OTD in 1918--she's 108 years old today! #WomenInSTEM

A color photograph of Dr. Brenda Milner (born 1918), the pioneering British-Canadian founder of cognitive neuropsychology whose landmark work mapped localized memory in the human hippocampus. Seated and facing left, she engages an audience with an expressive, animated posture, both hands raised in gestural emphasis. Her short, silver-gray hair is styled back with soft volume, framing a deeply lined, intent face with a focused expression. She wears a tailored, dark navy and black textured tweed jacket over a simple cream blouse. A multi-strand necklace of dark, polished beads hangs around her neck, and a small, delicate pin is affixed to her left lapel. A flesh-colored over-ear microphone wire curves across her cheek. The dimly lit stage setting shows a blurred equipment in the background under subtle stage lighting, giving the composition a dynamic, scholarly atmosphere that highlights her enduring intellectual passion.

Very excited to share our new manuscript – published today! Why are PIEZO1 and PIEZO2 are tuned to transduce different types of mechanical force? I was lucky to work with some extraordinary colleagues to begin to figure out why. www.nature.com/articles/s41... An overview of the results below ⬇️ ⬇️

The molecular basis of force selectivity by PIEZO2 - Nature

PIEZO2 is intrinsically more rigid than PIEZO1, and disparate mechanical stimuli paradoxically evoke opposite conformational and gating responses in each channel.

So proud of my lab mate @ericmulhall.bsky.social and honored to help with this amazing project he led using MINFLUX to study why PIEZO2 behaves differently than PIEZO1 from the lab of @ardemp.bskyverified.social share.google/2Uln5O5OyqhM...

Of the hundreds of millions of people living with IBS worldwide, about two-thirds are women. Now, researchers have identified a biological pathway in the guts of mice that may help explain this disproportionate toll—a finding that could one day lead to new treatments. https://scim.ag/3YD8H78

When overwhelmed by scope of tragedy, specifics can be important. Here is just one story. Thinking of all those affected by this weekend's tragedies at Brown and in Sydney.

Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov, a freshman at Brown, had a condition as a child that required brain surgery. The experience created an unshakable ambition to become a brain surgeon, his sister said. He died after being shot on campus on Saturday.

Application review launches on December 1, 2025. We want to read *your* application outlining a vision for a research program deciphering how membrane proteins collaborate to enable cell function, their biosynthesis, and the biophysics and structure of how membrane proteins change shape.
