The psychiatrist who helped popularize attachment theory says much of the conversation about attachment styles has drifted away from the science. Here's how they shape our interactions with others, and how to change them:
Scientists say this is the reason some relationships flourish and others flop
How attachment styles influence our interactions with others — and how to change them.

El viernes pasado estuve en el programa #LaSociedadDeLaCiencia en Radio USACH, participando de una buena conversa transdisciplinaria sobre resiliencia. Mi hipótesis de trabajo es que tras las respuestas resilientes siempre hay un mecanismo de flexibilidad. Acá el video: youtu.be/kASttZIzCx4?...

The end of an era for experimental psychology and emotions research. Hopefully his legacy and intellectual influence will keep his work alive far beyond today.
Este viernes 21 desde las 9.30 am en FACSO, @uchile.bsky.social. Estaré hablando de organización y autonomía biológica, en el contexto de la cognición humana.
This may be an unpopular thing to say today, but Venezuela deserved a much better political opposition — and now it’s harder than ever for them to get one.

La democracia liberal patas pa arriba: un comercio no puede ponerle a sus clientes una regla de convivencia básica, como no portar armas visiblemente en el interior del súper, porque viola sus derechos constitucionales. ¡Jolín!
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 10mo agoFloridians will be able to openly carry firearms while shopping at Publix, the largest supermarket chain in the state, the company said on Thursday. The announcement came after a state appeals court ruled that a Florida ban on people openly carrying firearms was unconstitutional.
Excited to share our latest manuscript by @saikat2025.bsky.social and an international team, reporting variants in the EARP- and GARP-interacting protein EIPR1 associated with a neurodevelopmental disorder. Will send you the PDF if you can’t access the article: academic.oup.com/brain/articl...
EIPR1 variants cause a neurodevelopmental disorder with endolysosomal and dense core vesicle defects
Abstract. EIPR1 (EARP-interacting protein 1, formerly known as TSSC1) is a WD40-domain protein that interacts with the EARP (endosome-associated recycling

Random chat last night... — Dad, I'm not vaccinating. They say the HPV vaccine is the most painful one! — Do you know what a papilloma is? — No... — A cause of cancer — x___x — A type of cancer that use to cause a lot of trouble and now you can avoid just getting vaccinated. — Ok
Tengo que hacer algunas clases este semestre. Afortunadamente son algunas de las cosas que más me entusiasman en el mundo, así que simplemente espero poder transferir algo de ese mismo entusiasmo. ¡Se viene el segundo semestre!
I've been culturing intact explants of embryonic mouse basal forebrain. It's a pretty cool way to model interactions between the different BFN populations in vitro, both in physiology and disease, specially in Alzheimer's where these neurons are particularly vulnerable. [Confocal— DAPI+Phalloidin]

Coming to London on a summer Saturday—when Pride celebrations were in full swing, and everyone was out with friends in all sorts of playful attire—has been absolutely vivifying!
I grew up one little bit today. I'm going back to the lab in London in a couple of weeks, and instead of booking a bed in a noisy backpackers' hostel as usual, I evolved to booking myself a room in a proper family-run hotel next door. Yeahp... getting old.

True that the promising story about jacifusen still requires more data to weight its impact in the real world, but I can't help thinking about the 16-y.o. kid with ALS that after a year of treatment is breathing again and recovering movement.
