C’est l'été 🌞 ! On retourne à la fin des années 2000, le lycée qui se termine, les potes, la campagne, les champs et les feux de camp. Dernière BD avant les vacances –je vais me reposer, il vous aura pas échappé que l'année a été un peu rude :D

Merci encore et toujours de vous approprier mes bêtises/mon taffe/mon art/mon cul, merci pour vos mots gentils.
J’espère que vous allez, ou que vous irez bien,
La bise ❤️

Wow. This looks great. If it had been available 2 months ago my summer holidays would look a bit different!
Next time...

stefanlindbohm@mastodon.social - Today we’re quietly (and finally!) opening up Railfinder to the public! This is our beta version and - hopefully - the first step towards that one booking site for trains across Europe that we all dream of.

Lots of work has gone into this and equally lots still to do before reach that vision, but if you’d like to try what we’be built you can now just go to https://www.railfinder.eu and have a go!

Any and all feedback more than welcome 🙏

Wikipedia picture of the day for June 17 - Wikipedia

Yes, we are made of stardust. But so is garbage.

It's publication day for 📘Elusive Cures. What a moment!

This is my 1st book & my 1st time on Mindscape (one of my favorite podcasts).

Here, @seanmcarroll and I have a wide-ranging conversation about the brain, including: Why are brain and mental disorders so hard to understand and treat?

The podcast: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2025/06/09/317-nicole-rust-on-why-neuroscience-hasnt-solved-brain-disorders/

My new piece in Nature Human Behavior: "We need to fight for the next generation of US researchers"

All trainees need 3 things to thrive. In the US, those things have been ripped away. Let's brainstorm and fight to get them back.

NIH scientists publish declaration criticizing Trump’s deep cuts in public health research

Some quotes:

"The NIH that I'm working in now is unrecognisable to me. Every day I go into the office and I wonder what ethical boundary I'm going to be asked to violate, what probably illegal actions am I going to be asked to take"

"It's particularly frustrating when we are being sold this lie that this is being done in the name of efficiency. Because when we terminate these studies, when they're 50, 60, 70, 80% complete, we're not saving the 1 or 2 million dollars left at the tail end of the study, we are wasting the 3 or 4 million dollars that have already been invested."

NIH scientists go public with criticism over Trump cuts

President Donald Trump’s National Institutes of Health director says some employees’ critical letter to him has “fundamental misconceptions about the policy directions the NIH has taken.” Monday’s letter from NIH researchers and staffers says the Republican Trump administration’s policies waste public resources and harm people’s health. NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya in his confirmation hearings pledged openness to views that might conflict with his, saying dissent is the “essence of science.” The NIH employees’ letter says, “We dissent.” Bhattacharya says ”respectful dissent in science is productive.” The White House says it’s ”restoring the Gold Standard of Science” for federal research instead of pursuing “ideological activism.”
