@tararaam_ @patrickmineault @NatureNeuro Congratulations Tara!! 👏

Excited to share my postdoc work is out in @NatureNeuro today! We examined how the brain enables social groups to collectively coordinate their behavior in the face of environmental challenge ❄️🐭🐭🐭🐭❄️ : nature.com/articles/s4159…

Congratulations to MBI researcher @DrNancyPadilla, who recently received the 2026 @UFMedicine Rising Star Researcher in Basic Science Award! Learn more about her research by watching this short video. @UFNeuroscience

I used to think of longevity, in the limit, as keeping something static close to its original form. Now it feels more like an avenue into something genuinely unknown, new forms we don’t have intuitions for yet. notebook.ldeming.com/garden/index.h…

@jaycaspiankang Puerto Rico always brings it when US culture needs a transfusion and we do it unapologetically

😂😂😂 please keep on doing this. Turn Bad Bunny into an outlaw superstar. Legitimately did not think liberals could ever be cool again after 2024 but 14 months later here we are. The speed with which the right lost a culture war only they were fighting is just hilarious

@jaycaspiankang Maxey + VJ backcourt is the best in the NBA

Sixers gonna make the finals lol.

A previously unrecognized estrogen-dependent signaling pathway in the gut regulates visceral pain sensitivity in mice, according to a new Science study. The findings provide a pathway toward targeted therapeutic strategies. 📄: scim.ag/4rTYSz4 #SciencePerspective: scim.ag/4j8UAA6

Thrilled to share Milan's & Nimrod's great work exploring the evolution of visual processing🐢📷. Combining neurophysiology with gaze estimation in freely viewing turtles, they identified view-invariant representations in dorsal cortex. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… @ScienceAdvances

@SyedSchemes In Vic We Trust 🦅

It took me 20 years to get a solo museum show in NYC & not only did it sell out many times it proved to be a game changer for @MorganLibrary packing in simultaneously a new & diverse audience. Other Museums should take note esp those seeking engagement beyond an insular artworld

Open Science Accelerates Discovery and is Critical for Trust in Science. Science has been a driving force behind major advances in health, technology, and the quality of our everyday lives. From life-saving medical treatments to innovations that shape our daily experiences, the contributions of scientific research are vast and impactful. We find ourselves at a time when trust in science is being tested. Skepticism around scientific results and the scientific process, along with misinformation, have made it challenging for many to discern credible studies from unverified claims, underscoring the importance of fostering confidence in the scientific process. Ensuring that science and scientific data are trustworthy is a responsibility of all scientists, and a must for society. As a scientist and leader of a scientific institution, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about how we can increase public trust in science. One of the core values that excites me most at the Allen Institute is our dedication to open science. Since our founding more than two decades ago, we have demonstrated that science should not exist behind closed doors but should be shared openly with the world. This approach not only accelerates discovery in an exponential way but also builds transparency and trust. Our commitment to open science goes beyond simply publishing our findings openly in scholarly journals. We share all our data publicly, making vast datasets available for anyone to access, explore, and use in their own studies. But we don’t stop there. We also share the complete set of protocols, tools, technologies, and analytical algorithms that we use in our research. All this information is made accessible via user-friendly online platforms where scientists, students, educators, and curious minds can use the data, perform their own analyses, and draw their own conclusions. Now we’re taking the next step in expanding our commitment to open science. Recently, we introduced reproducibility certificates (royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/epdf/10.10…), which will allow folks to follow and reproduce every step of the scientific process and analyses. We’re also exploring ways to add a digital signature to all data coming out of our scientific instruments, so that there is always verifiable original data.  We’re also interested in detailing the financial cost of our studies, how many people were involved, for how long, and who did what. This openness is a powerful tool for science, allowing everyone to build on top of each other’s discoveries, creating a powerful flywheel in this disruptive age of artificial intelligence. Collectively, these efforts create transparency and make the research generated by the scientific community public knowledge. We are proud to be leading this charge towards openness and collaboration in science with an increasing number of like-minded institutions. We believe that by continuing to make all data and tools freely available, we are not only contributing to disruptive research but also building a foundation of trust. #ScienceMatters

A new @Nature study co-led by Ann Kennedy (@Antihebbiann) finds that the brain’s parabrachial nucleus can block persistent pain when urgent needs (like hunger or fear) take over. Understanding this “off switch” could guide smarter, brain-based therapies for chronic pain—working with the brain’s own circuitry instead of against it. More: ow.ly/K31L50XbeQM
