Psyched to share the first results from a ~7yr journey, from an email I sent to @Nancy_Kanwisher in 2014 about an idea to develop lang(uage) 'localizers' for as many of the world's langs as possible to having fMRI data from native speakers of 45 langs. tinyurl.com/b5xv7e32 1/n

Join us tomorrow to hear from one of the greats in the mechanistic genetic study of human #obesity!
Join us on Monday with Prof. Sir @StephenORahilly of @CamMetaboNet, to explore the cutting edge of the #genetics of human #obesity and energy balance, and the role of GDF15 in sensing somatic #stress.

Academic writing is wild bc you’ll read four articles just to write one sentence.
Anyway, here’s a thread of resources I’ve been using to speed through this review I’m working on:

told my kids they were allowed to hit each other once per day so they should really think it through and not waste their one hit and now they’re calmly discussing when might be the best time to hit each other (but the actual hitting has stopped, I’m a genius)

Vietnam did not get "lucky".
It was prepared, acted quickly and appropriately early in the pandemic. A response that many countries in the world can learn from.

Vietnam prided itself on successfully containing the coronavirus. But the country’s luck may be running out as it faces an outbreak in Ho Chi Minh City and the emergence of a new variant. nyti.ms/3g4L80i

If you are interested in the intricacies of phototactic behaviors in all animals, and in particular in those of larval zebrafish, you should check out Alex Chen’s (@alexbchen) paper that recently came out in JEB.

Expand your zebrafish 4X with Whole-ExM.
Great protocol @jaebyumchang combining multiple fluorophore NHS esters, dapi and expansion microscopy to visualize cell structures (look at the cilia!) at 60 nm resolution (imaged with Eclipse Ti2-E @NikonInst)
