Chimpanzees in Uganda are in a ‘civil war,’ and researchers are unsure how it will end www.cnn.com/2026/04/20/s...

How a group of chimpanzees started a ‘civil war’ in their once close-knit community | CNN

A once large and peaceful group of chimpanzees in the western forests of Uganda has now split into two, causing a rare “civil war” among the primates.

HHS and OMB have stopped them. They have mandated the new NOFOs also be written in “simple” text. While NOFOs are being reduced, IC staff are working to get topics in place for parents. NOFOs are being written but they’re being rejected or just sitting in HHS & now OMB offices….

More on the NIH funding opportunity graveyard from Liz Ginexi. NIH has stopped the vast majority of funding opportunities. Some were officially terminated. Others are many months overdue, a death by delay, including congressionally mandated programs. elizabethginexi.substack.com/p/inside-the...

Today, we remember the fourteen young women whose lives were stolen at Polytechnique Montréal 36 years ago. Their names are a solemn reminder of the devastating toll of gender-based violence — and the responsibility that comes with our remembrance.

We are grieving our friend and brilliant colleague Natalia Duque-Wilckens. A creative scientist, artist, caring mentor, and force for change. Words can’t describe the impact she had on lives at UC Davis, MSU, NC State and beyond. I feel lucky to have known her and wish her time didn’t end so soon

Happy to share my lab's first review article! We outline how the lateral habenula is a critical regulator of almost every type of social behavior, from pro- to anti-social behaviors, in both sexes, and across the lifespan. Hopefully this can serve as a useful reference! rdcu.be/eLWPw

I am thrilled to share our latest work: we identified a population of central amygdala neurons that promote the earliest and perhaps most important social behavior: pup suckling!... We also developed new tools for pup neuroscience Work by @Jeff Moore now at USC, a collaboration with @Sam Pfaff lab

Excellent framework to understand the processes favoring health vs disease based on the Energy Resistance Principle. Makes me wonder whether the shape of this inverted-U curve, or linked parameters, are trait-like across individuals. Congrats @martinpicardenergy.bsky.social & @msahsorin.bsky.social

This morning I felt a little sadness when I remembered that many of the colleagues I wished to share something dear to my heart with, had departed from X. @msahsorin.bsky.social and I would love to know what people think of the Energy Resistance Principle (ERP) authors.elsevier.com/a/1luVK5WXUl...

I sent this to my undergraduate students earlier today; it's a fun way to show them how AI hallucinates, by having them break the system. Simply ask “is there a seahorse emoji?” futurism.com/chatgpt-hayw... it works, well, until it doesn’t…credit goes to my dad for this one!

ChatGPT Goes Completely Haywire If You Ask It to Show You a Seahorse Emoji

Asking OpenAI's ChatGPT if there's a seahorse emoji causes the AI chatbot to suffer an epic, existential meltdown.

So, with Jane Goodall passing, I am reminded of a very fun incident where her institute sent a furious complaint over this cartoon on her behalf, only to have Goodall herself find it hilarious and go on to write the introduction to the collection it appeared in. A fantastic sense of humour.

Jane Goodall, who died on Wednesday at the age of 91, spent decades teaching about the intelligence of chimpanzees. She left behind powerful lessons about aging — and living well — too. nyti.ms/3IS8XuH

My friend Steven Parton interviewed Adam Zeman about #Aphantasia — something he and I both have. Interestingly, we both seem to have the more pronounced form, where even our dreams lack imagery. youtu.be/TdSwDUONWLg?...
