It's 2023, and scientists receive death threats from anti-science pundits when their findings confront war propaganda in America.
Two scientists who are coauthors of a 3-year-old article on the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic faced down Republican lawmakers today in what might be the most in-depth discussion ever of a scientific paper in the halls of the U.S. Congress. science.org/content/article/…

Investors are excited about the opportunities provided by the abandonment of #ZeroCovid in #China and the expected wave of mass death. Money is pouring into funeral stocks. In the most literal sense of the word, the #pandemic has enabled capitalists to make a killing.

The conclusion that masks work, and that better masks are needed to address the DOMINANT airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is the consensus of almost 400 international experts in the major DELPHI study led by @JVLazarus in @Nature:

Tomorrow morning at #SfN2022 I will be presenting some of my work. We performed wide-field calcium imaging in freely-behaving mice while they solved a spatial navigation task. Poster number is XX10

We have a packed SfN this year. 5 posters from our group, three more along with collaborators. Details in thread 👇

Wednesday morning. #XX10. Spatial navigation involves many disparate brain regions in the brain. How is activity coordinated ? @DanielSurinach @mathewrynes present on brain-wides states identified using mesoscale calcium imaging during spatial learning and navigation.
Mixed feelings about this. On one hand, they can be useful to understand how a particular study was scrutinized by the community. On the other, the review process is not public, and public commentary should be separate from this. Some reviewers tend to be very harsh as well
Wow... From Nov 1st @nature is publishing reviewer reports and author responses for ALL research articles. Do you think it's a good step?

They've even spelled out their interpretation, in case readers can't understand the findings.
After 5d isolation, 2/3 patients are still infectious.

Looks like we may start reporting the experimenter's sex. This has definitely been a topic of discussion among my colleagues.
WOW!!
'Our data show that exposure to male versus female experimenters’ scents induces differential behavioral responses and alters responses to antidepressant-relevant doses of KET in mice.'
