A absolute honor to hood Dr. Abbott @abbot167! Keep an eye out for his impressive body of work defining the effect of cerebellar modulation on frontal cortex spines, gene expression, and electrophysiology 🧬🧠👨🏻‍🎓

President Biden’s budget calls for billions of dollars for R&D. @chuckgrassley, will you support this critical science funding to repair the research capacity weakened by COVID-19? #FundScience

I support the strong role for science and technology in President Biden’s American Jobs Plan and @SenJoniErnst, as your constituent, I ask that you do too. #FundScience

Glad I got to hear these ideas in person at the #cerebellumGRC. Some empowering words for those of us that ever feel beaten down by power dynamics. #AcademicChatter
In the latest in the #LivingScience series, Indira Raman asks if – after acknowledging that power differentials exist – scientists can find inspiration to persevere anyway elifesciences.org/articles/5…

Humans are simply unusually smart apes. We have no right to assume we are smart enough to create a fair and just world. But as we strive to just that, let's remember that what is truly odd is not how messed-up things often are, but that some unusually smart apes made it this far.

A national mental health database is one of the worst ideas ever.
Democrats should come together with one clear message on gun safety. The federal gov't must: 1) Outlaw assault weapons and high-capacity magazines 2) Create a mental health database 3) Pass universal background checks 4) Pass a Red Flag Law

We are extremely honored and humbled to announce that our R01 has been funded. This would not have been possible without the years of support from @IowaMed, @UIowaNeuro, collaborators, and amazing mentors. Don't throw out the cerebellum!
Congrats to Krystal Parker @IowaParkerLab who learned over the Thanksgiving weekend that her first R01 has been funded! "Cerebellar Circuits, Timing and Cognition" was awarded just over $2 million for 5 years.

Hello twitter! It's the new neuro/data journal everyone is talking about, or should be. Founded by @KordingLab, @anne_churchland, and @jpillowtime , with a wide editorial board, happy to read your best work once it's on arxiv, and setup open peer review. Oh, and it's ~free!
