It 100% harms AHSS, but as a bonus, it also harms STEM. Curiosity driven, investigator led research drives innovation where there isn't a more immediate commercial incentive, and industry already pursues research where there is. Universities exist for the public good, not to subsidize industry.

How does the brain decide how much of the past to use when making decisions? In rapidly changing environments, recent experiences matter more; in stable environments, longer histories are useful.

The final research chapter of my PhD is published! 🥳🥳🥳🥳 It shows how the ability of spider venom to paralyse prey scales isometrically with its ability to cause prey mortality! It is published with open access in Toxicon: X. You can check it out via the following link - doi.org/10.1016/j.to....
Anyone else feel like we should arrange another meeting?

Historically, venom potencies have been assessed using measures of lethality, such as the median lethal dose (LD50). However, venoms may be selected p…
