The absence of food activates the brain's "hunger neurons" even before there is an energy deficit! We discovered a new hypothalamic circuit that enables the brain to predict and prevent deviations from homeostasis. Published in @cp-neuron.bsky.social www.cell.com/neuron/abstr...

A hypothalamic circuit for anticipating future changes in energy balance

Walker, Lowenstein, et al. demonstrate that hunger neurons in the mouse hypothalamus are rapidly activated not only by actual energy deficit but also by environmental cues predicting future fasting. T...

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Great thread summing up the PhD experience!

Joel Boerckel@jboerckel.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Defending PhD student, looking over their thesis: “If I knew then what I know now, I could’ve done all of this in like 9 months.” A thread about my favorite pioneering cave explorers and why I don’t think AI will ever “solve” biology.

CBS didn't run the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT, but over here at @propublica.org we've been working on the story since March, including finding out who each and every man sent to that maximum security prison was. You can see our reporting here: www.propublica.org/series/depor...

This hasn’t been reported as much in the media, but this attack on international scholars at Harvard seems to also affect postdocs: ~40% (3/4 of international postdocs) are on J visas (based on FAS postdoc association data) www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

RFK Jr. said multiple times during his house and senate hearings today that no scientists have been fired from federal agencies. Our reporting has shown that hundreds, if not thousands, of scientists have been let go from NIH/CDC/FDA

This is not good...

Sometimes I get imposter syndrome but then I remember this guy is in charge of healthcare in the US and feel better
