Insecure people strive to prove their intelligence. They're quick to assure us that they have the answer—they're determined to be right. Secure people aim to improve their intelligence. They're quick to speak up when they have questions—they're focused on getting it right.

@iamhans @NatureNeuro Congratulations Sung! 🎉 So proud of you! 🫶🏻

Excited to share our story about a top-down slow breathing circuit just published in @NatureNeuro! Congrats to all co-authors for their hard work, especially Jinho Jhang for his incredible contributions!! nature.com/articles/s4159…

Bravo! Continuing force of nature for humanity 🎉🫶🏻

Exploring the future of newborn screening with genome sequencing, we highlight how the lessons learned from GUARDIAN and other studies are shaping a pathway toward universal and equitable genomic screening. To learn more: rdcu.be/dX9FB #GUARDIANStudy

The hallmark of expertise is no longer how much you know. It's how well you synthesize. Information scarcity rewarded knowledge acquisition. Information abundance requires pattern recognition. It's not enough to collect facts. The future belongs to those who connect dots.

Congratulations Fenna!! 🎉

Really excited that @NatEyeInstitute is participating in this program! Having run a summer program for a number of years, they are highly rewarding for everyone involved. Would love to see (and support!) a number of vision summer programs around the country!

There will never be anyone quite like Jim. I am profoundly sad.

To everyone who has been shocked and depressed by the staggering 40% cut to the BRAIN Initiative: we have a voice! Outside Witness Testimony (aka written testimony) for the FY 2025 appropriations cycle is ongoing. Deadline for the House side is Friday May 3 and the Senate side is Friday May 24. Let's all write in with our thoughts about what this cut means for scientific progress and for medical advances to help patients suffering the most devastating neurological and psychiatric illnesses. Please see instruction links and more information here: House Outside Witness Testimony: appropriations.house.gov/sites/evo-subs… Senate Outside Witness Testimony: appropriations.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/… Please RT @SfNtweets @MichaelJFoxOrg @alzassociation @alsassociation

It was a tremendous privilege to spend some time in DC telling our elected officials about the impact of our BRAIN Initiative project on depression DBS and stressing the critical need for robust research funding.

Quick, what have we learned from the BRAIN Initiative? One sentence or less please.

This is a landmark achievement that will open the door for many future investigations of the brain’s function, development and evolution. Congrats to everyone who has contributed to this monumental effort. Big thanks to the @NIH #studyBRAIN Initiative for supporting this project.

What makes the human brain unique? Most diseases of the human brain are only seen in humans. By understanding what makes the human brain different, we can understand more about these unique diseases. #studyBRAIN #BICCN

What makes us human? Today in @ScienceMagazine, a large research consortium funded by @NIH #studyBRAIN initiative shared new insights on how human brain cells differ from other humans and our closest primate relatives. 🔗alleninstitute.org/news/what-make… More on some of the papers. 🧵⬇️

@vancityflyguy @kalhorlab @jasonyilab Not too shabby! Hanging in there! 😂 Warms my heart to see you all thriving! 💙👏

@AliceLClayton @kalhorlab @jasonyilab Thanks Alice! Hope you’re doing great :)

New research funded by the @NIH #BRAINInitiative reveals the genetic, cellular, and structural makeup of the human brain and nonhuman primate brain. These detailed brain cell maps help develop new therapies for people with brain disorders. go.nih.gov/JSO51yx #studyBRAIN

Wow! Another landmark batch of papers from NIH BRAIN Initiative Cell Census Network! Congrats to all!! 😍👏🎊🧠#studybrain braininitiative.nih.gov/news-events/bl…

Aww! Great to see my former BTI peeps finding new successes! @vancityflyguy @kalhorlab @jasonyilab 👍🥳
