"So let me say two things immediately about the now-published results for lecanemab, the latest attempt at anti-amyloid antibody therapy for Alzheimer’s. I think that both of these are true: the numbers are the best that I have yet seen for such an antibody, and at the same time I doubt if the drug will actually make a difference in the treatment of #Alzheimer’s."

#introduction I am an evolutionary biologist interested by the origins of life and evolutionary transitions in individuality #ETI. I do #theory inspired by #ExperimentalEvolution.
I'd like to understand how living systems emerge and change scale.
I enjoy various approaches such as #Math #Models (#StochasticProcess, #DynamicalSystems, and #AdaptiveDynamics in particular), #PhilosophyOfScience, #Bioinformatics and #Dataviz.
I am a #FOSS and #OpenScience enthusiast. Nice to meet you all !

👋 I am a #neuroscience #PhD student at UPenn, working with @annaschapiro and Brett Foster studying how our #memory changes over time and during #sleep 🧐😴🧠
Outside of lab, I love playing soccer and printmaking (current project is screen-printing images of my brain on any fabric I can find!)

Excited to get started here with an #introduction!
I'm currently a PhD candidate in the Neuroscience Graduate Group (NGG) at the University of Pennsylvania. My work sits at the intersection of systems and computational neuroscience, exploring how environmental volatility affects decision-making behavior and its neural correlates.
In addition to collecting and exploring data, I love #writing, #sciencecommunication, and #teaching. Finding ways to build a common understanding of concepts brings me so much joy.
Outside of work, I love #hiking, #biking, #yoga, and absolutely anything involving my dog, Moe.
I'm looking forward to engaging on here!

In #JapaneseFolklore there is a belief that objects can develop a spirit or soul once they reach advanced age. This usually happens around their 100th birthday and it can be seen as a reward for their years of service. The objects are thereafter known as #tsukumogami, a type of #yokai which basically means 'tools that have acquired a spirit.' If they have been neglected or treated badly they may not be much fun to have around.

This is the first time I see the subject of my studies - #telomeres. Thanks to my colleague and friend Sara Sandin’s team, telomeres were captured by cryo-EM in human cells as little spheres of chromatin lying just under the nuclear membrane. Science is wonderful! https://academic.oup.com/nar/article/50/9/5047/6576360

“We might have lost a fight, but we have not lost the war.”
I talked to Philippe Barboza at the WHO and others about the massive surge in #cholera cases the world is witnessing and why the #vaccine stockpile is falling short...

'Blood-sucking mosquitoes have their uses. An innovative approach analysing their last blood meals can reveal evidence of infection in the people or animals that the flying insects feasted on.
Scientists say that the method, presented at an infectious-disease conference in Malaysia last week, could be used to study people’s and animals’ past exposure to a range of pathogens, while avoiding the ethical and practical issues of testing them directly.'

The myth of Elon Musk as a genius building a better future for everyone is falling apart — and it’s about time!
As I wrote in Time a few months ago, we need to realize he hasn’t just taken a bad turn in the past few months. He’s always been selling us a lie, and nothing shows that better than his fake transport projects that distracted from real solutions.
His downfall can’t come soon enough.

✨Have you ever seen a bird fly without its head moving?
The Eurasian Kestrel has a natural ability to stabilize its head, allowing it to stay focused on its prey as it moves. 🪶
Look at this slow-motion close-up of a kestrel hovering.

"Nature has been publishing curiosity-driven research for more than 150 years, and readers will not need convincing of the work’s value. But we implore colleagues in the wider science ecosystem — the policymakers and those in science-funding agencies who expect to see direct benefits of research investments — to resist the temptation to push for quick returns.
