Feels like a good time for a little reminder: Countries aren't supposed to be run like businesses. Countries are supposed to spend money to support and serve their people. This means spending to support those living below the poverty line, the disabled and historically 1/

Everyone says “Today’s PhD students are so accomplished I wouldn’t have gotten in today” as if it’s a good thing. It’s not. There are amazing young scientists out there today. But grad admissions is ignoring wide swaths of them because it’s been infected with the same credentialist bullshit of faculty hiring and grants.

Pretty crazy after reviewing the applications of some Stanford PhD applicants and feel like they can graduate right away after the admission 😄

Excited to share our new paper out now @Nature, where we identified neural signatures of stress susceptibility and resilience in the amygdala-ventral hippocampal network to enable control of anhedonia! <nature.com/articles/s4158…> Thread below:

Programming worm behavior with optogenetic stimulation sheds light on working memory and has evolutionary implications. Wait, C elegans’ 185 neuron brains have working memory? Crazy. Check out the preprint by Raymond Dunn, Saul Kato and others. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The UCSF Palestine Solidarity Encampment is launched! Health students & workers demand that @UCSF divest from genocide. UCSF worse than silent while over 35,000 Palestinians killed, over 450 healthcare workers murdered, & HCW kidnapped & tortured. @ucsf4palestine on IG

New paper from the lab out today! @jeremy_biane, @max_ladow and team describe how neural population dynamics in dorsal and ventral CA1 evolve with associative learning and outcome expectation. Full text here: rdcu.be/c83t3
Nature Neuroscience@NatureNeuro

Tracking the same hippocampal dorsal CA1 and ventral CA1 neurons during odor–outcome learning shows that initially odors elicited responses in dCA1, whereas odor responses in vCA1 emerged later and represented the outcome New from @mazen_kheirbek et al. nature.com/articles/s4159…

But regardless of how you vote, we hope there’s one thing you can take away from this strike: Screw the UC and screw the neoliberal capitalist, racist, ableist, heterosexist, nationalist model of education. Regardless of the contract vote outcome, this fight isn’t over.
