1/ We discovered something totally unexpected about the neural structure of consciousness that overturns decades of thinking on its biological basis and brings us significantly closer to the recipe for generating conscious awareness.
New preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.64898… (led by @HesseJanis, with @FrankLanfranchi, @_conor_mcgrory, @Yuelin_Shi, and @EngelTatiana)

Job alert! My lab is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to study biophysical mechanisms of ion channel regulation and/or discover novel pharmacological modulators. DM if interested

And here is one of the most pressing ones from today’s Stand up for Science in Trenton: “what do we want ? - Peer review !!! - when do we want it - Now !!!”

Fine, here we go.
First let's start with some baseline expectations. Pancreatic cancer is scary, 5y survival is ~10%.
So if you see a trial with an apparent survival asymptote at ~50% then certainly *something* is happening, right?

Today marks the 10th anniversary of the Charlie Hebdo attack, where Islamist gunmen killed 12 people in response to the magazine's controversial cartoons.
So, naturally, we should all share the cartoons on X, highlighting the importance of free speech and the right to satire.

🚨🇺🇸CNN SELECTIVELY EDITS ELON-TRUMP EXCHANGE ON NUCLEAR ENERGY
It seems mainstream media really doesn't want to show the truth anymore.
Thankfully, with X, we still can see the truth.
CNN Reporter:
"So that was more Elon Musk than Donald Trump, suggesting that what happened almost 80 years ago—the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki—is now okay, trying to downplay the impact of that."

Training for future scientists?
"Fabricating data, throwing academic shade at other scientists, publishing a mountain of papers that receive a towering heap of citations...
are [all] goals for players of ‘Publish or Perish’ — a new card game"
