Reminder that the US military budget is larger than the military spending of the next nine largest countries combined.
Over half goes to private defense contractors.
This is the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned of — on steroids.
Two neurobiologists who helped decipher how the somatosensory system detects touch and pain have won this year’s Brain Prize, the largest award in neuroscience.

I had a great time talking about the importance of storytelling our science at the @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social President’s Symposium today! Always extra fun with my little fan club tags along 🩷

Earlier this year, I was selected as a ‘26 Frontiers of Science Fellow by @nasonline.org, which led to my participation in the 2026 FoS Symposium. The meeting was such a fun and unique experience! I’ve never been to a meeting where people from such differing fields were convened to share ideas.

Love it!
Really cool talk on the power of storytelling from @doctheagrif.bsky.social at #bps2026. I can't wait to try out her storytelling strategies and check out her stories!
Scientists at this meeting came from all backgrounds: astrobiology to neuroscience to ecology to evolutionary biology, and even folks studying heat exposure on different populations, including those incarcerated. It was very intellectually stimulating. The venue wasn’t too bad either 😉☀️🌴
