So happy to see this work out! We studied when brain connectomes can be used to accurately predict neural activity, and when they can't. Happy to chat more about it, please do reach out if interested. nature.com/articles/s41593-0…

How does the brain balance learning new things without overwriting what it already knows? Our new paper tackles this long-standing stability–plasticity dilemma during active navigation. With @Adrinnenberg from the @KarlDeisseroth lab. (1/8) doi.org/10.1101/2025.10.21.6… @lisa_giocomo

Thrilled to share our latest work showing spatially segregated Ca2 signals of NMDAR and mGluR5 have opposing effects to maintain synapse homeostasis, with implications towards rapid antidepressant action (1/3) pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.25…

Vaccines are not magic. None are perfect. Some work better than others. Some have serious and occasionally lethal side effects. We don’t understand the downsides of vaccines perfectly. Not everyone needs every vaccine. Some are pushed for profit. The regulatory system around them is flawed and sometimes corrupt. And still … VACCINES ARE ONE OF HUMANITIES GREATEST INVENTIONS.

ICYMI: Good news! The House rejected the proposed 40% NIH funding cut. The bill released has NIH funded at $48 billion, almost identical to the Senate’s number of $48.7 billion.

Taxpayers: you reap enormous rewards from your modest investment in scientific research. American science is in grave peril. nytimes.com/2025/08/24/opini…

I'm Jewish. I got my PhD in neuroscience from Columbia in 2014. The biomedical research isn't even on the same campus as the protests. The Joint Task Force to Combat "anti-Semitism" will go down in infamy alongside HUAC. It makes me sick.

Today #NIH is terminating more than $250 million in funding—including more than 400 grants—to Columbia University following directives from the Trump Administration’s Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism. The cancellations are due to Columbia University’s continued inaction in the face of persistent harassment of Jewish students.

As far as I can tell, Khalil has still not been charged & his attorney/family still don’t know where he is. Any Jew who thinks this is going to start & stop with a few Palestinian activists is fooling themself. Our community is not an excuse to upend democracy & the rule of law.
The Trump admin is exploiting real concerns about antisemitism to undercut democracy: from gutting education funding to deporting students to attacking diversity, equity, & inclusion. As we’ve repeatedly said: this makes Jews - & many others - less safe. jewishpublicaffairs.org/news…

LISTEN TO EVERY WORD. YES IT IS 12 MIN BUT HE SPEAKS THE TRUTH
President Trump and Elon Musk’s funding cuts to groundbreaking medical research do NOT Make America Great. That’s why I’m on the Senate floor introducing a resolution pledging support for NIH & asking for immediate passage. Watch. x.com/i/broadcasts/1lDxLzWgw…

Measles is surging in Texas, with the vast number of cases among unvaccinated people & kids—124 cases & 1 child dead. Now, @US_FDA has cancelled a meeting of experts to plan for next year’s flu vaccine. This Admin’s silence on the importance of vaccines is deafening, and—tragically—people will die because of it.
