Tuesday was an amazing day, which culminated in an event focused on “Music, the Brain, & Wellbeing” with @LaviniaMeijer !She also met with neuroscientists and was guest in my “Neuroscience of Wellbeing” course.

At some point we have to ask ourselves: what are we doing here? I am old enough to remember when an R01 was sufficient to run a mid-size lab. Now it's effectively a postdoc fellowship. I don't think that is healthy for science. At some point, we have to make some hard decisions.

@BarakRotblat @anshulkundaje An R01 is around $250k (modular) to ~$500k. I just wrote an R01 that included NO FACULTY SALARIES (or we only asked for about ~1 month effort each) with 2 other PIs and we each had about 1.5 students on it.

In other news, today the NIH proposed caping the maximum of grants at 2 per research lab, including collaborations. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/n… We're living in the upside down.

Lila Sciences may raise about $2 billion at an $8.5 billion valuation. That number looks incredible if you treat Lila as a normal AI biotech. It makes a little more sense (maybe!) if you treat it as a bet on a new R&D operating system. Lila’s pitch is AI Science Factories: AI systems connected to automated labs that generate hypotheses, design experiments, run them, learn from the results, and repeat. In other words: model, robot lab, experiment, data, repeat. The whole shebang. Or “scientific superintelligence” and “operating system for science," as Lila calls it. (3/7)

Is it just me…or does ChatGPT suddenly feel like AI from the 90s after using Claude?

@CraigBrockie True: most serotonin is made in the gut. Missing context: gut serotonin is produced mainly by enterochromaffin cells to regulate digestion. It doesn’t cross the blood–brain barrier. Mood-related serotonin is made separately in brain raphe nuclei neurons. False equivalence.

Craig Brockie@CraigBrockie·
If you have ADHD, brain fog, anxiety, or depression — conventional medicine is looking in the wrong place. Your gut produces 95% of your body's serotonin. Your gut has 100 million neurons — more than your spinal cord. The brain is downstream of the gut. Always has been.

@PeterDiamandis And it fixates on technology for technology’s sake over the quality of the question.

The science funding system is BROKEN. PhDs and professors are spending their days writing grant proposals rather than conducting research that could transform millions of lives. And the worst part? The system REWARDS predictable, safe, incremental science. It PUNISHES radical ideas and moonshots.

Last week: attachment & regulation. Together, a small monkey shows how brains find ways forward under challenge to meet emotional needs. 🔗 @jguzowski312/a-baby-monkey-a-stuffed-orangutan-and-the-biology-of-connection-4d0635b44138" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@jguzowski312/…

Punch, a young macaque in Japan, walks upright while clutching a stuffed orangutan- his surrogate for safety . Not trained — just a🧠 improvising and adapting under constraint. This week: motor plasticity, adaptation & resilience. 🔗 @jguzowski312/punch-the-bipedal-monkey-what-a-strutting-macaque-teaches-us-about-the-improvising-brain-c9cfd23c0515" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@jguzowski312/…

This week, I explore motor plasticity and adaptation: how Punch’s nervous system stabilizes upright walking while holding his surrogate. Real-time resilience in action. 🔗 Latest article: @jguzowski312/punch-the-bipedal-monkey-what-a-strutting-macaque-teaches-us-about-the-improvising-brain-c9cfd23c0515" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@jguzowski312/…

Punch the macaque went viral for clutching a plush orangutan. But this isn’t just cute — it’s biology. Our brains & bodies evolved to regulate stress through contact. Digital likes aren’t a substitute. 🧠💛 Read the science of connection in my article:@jguzowski312/a-baby-monkey-a-stuffed-orangutan-and-the-biology-of-connection-4d0635b44138" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@jguzowski312/…

3) When we pay attention, we notice the gap between the sensory signal and the meaning our brain automatically assigns. Mindfulness doesn’t turn off prediction—but it shifts the balance, letting us respond with clarity instead of autopilot.

1) Your brain does not record reality. It builds it. Every moment, your perception is shaped by predictions from the past and assumptions about the world. 🧵

You don’t experience the world as it is—your brain builds it. Colors, sounds, emotions—even your sense of self—are actively constructed. Learn how perception, emotion, and mindfulness tie together in my latest neuroscience piece. 🔗 @jguzowski312/the-world-you-experience-isnt-the-world-that-exists-it-s-the-one-your-brain-makes-d34b17a2572d" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@jguzowski312/…

This isn’t self-help. It’s applied neuroscience. Reply “interested” and I’ll tag you when the first article goes live.

I’m dropping a 3-part series starting Jan 27: 1️⃣ How your brain constructs reality 2️⃣ Why negativity bias dominates 3️⃣ How small signals of safety reset a threat-locked nervous system

Every moment you experience is constructed—from evolution-shaped predictions + personal history, refined by sensory input. It decides what you notice, how you interpret ambiguity, and whether you feel safe.
