Anti-vaxxer and presidential candidate #RFKjr quoted saying #COVID19 may have been “targeted to attack Caucasians and black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese.” nypost.com/2023/07/15/rfk-jr-s

'For the convenience of human experimentalists and caretakers, and to decrease costs, mice are generally housed at environmental temperatures below their thermoneutrality. Our comfort and fiscal frugality come at costs that may include inappropriate interpretation of findings and even compromised translatability of experimental findings to human physiology and disease.'

What are the foundational principles of #neuroscience? By which I mean: beliefs or assumptions that animate our study of the brain across topics. Things like a belief in a structure-function relationship or the neuron as the base unit.

The only flaw I feel #Mastodon has is the lack of a tool to search content, otherwise imho it is a *true* social/public media platform :blobcatheart:

You can get notifications when anyone you are interested/like posts stuff, you can follow hashtags, you are not spoonfed content you never requested, you can edit your posts, you can send DMs, add cool emojis :apartyblobcat: and we have #Caturday!! :ablobcatheart:

I have *no* idea why some people find it alienating or difficult 🤔

I’m in full support of the SAG/AFRA and WGA and I love Ron Pearlman’s comment here.
As a jobbing actor my residuals for the last year for all the shows I’m in that have made a LOT of money for the streaming platforms they’re on came to around £35. my annual residuals from one of the most popular shows on Netflix came to the same price as I’d have got for 1 DVD box set sold.

Faites vos jeux:

'I would love to see how the French respond to this book, which so far has only been published in English. Will they resent his American presumption to explain France? Or will they acknowledge that Mr. Bonné, like a modern-day Tocqueville, has presented an insightful mirror to their culture?'

Remember that abysmal attempt at creating a fake paper detector that #Science magazine trumpeted? The one that just looked to see if you used your institutional email address, had international collaborators, and were (not) affiliated with a hospital?

The one that instantiated the authors biases and then they turned around and used as evidence for those biases?

Science has just published the letter that Brandon Ogbunugafor and I wrote.

@domhenri

I am very skeptical of that claim, and eLife assesses the evidence as incomplete.

When earlier work along similar by some of these authors was published 6 years ago, I expressed my doubts here:

most of these concerns still stand.
