I am thrilled to announce that the Aery Jones lab will be starting in January 2026 University of Maryland, Baltimore! I've accepted a position in the Department of Neurobiology and Medicine Institute for Neuroscience Discovery.

was really trying not to sign up for *another* social media platform but I'm over at the other place now: tararaam dot bsky dot social 💙⛅️

Check out our new paper in the Journal of Neuroscience led by talented co-first authors Anita and Blake Alec Miranda 🔥! We show how the hypothalamic dorsal premammillary nucleus (PMd) controls the acquisition of conditioned escape in a novel task. jneurosci.org/content/45/19/…

Super cool study showing that the estrous cycle modulates spine dynamics, dendritic processing, and spatial coding cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

I’m excited to share a new paper from the lab. The study led by Xiaowei Gu reveals how the mPFC encodes complex emotional memories, using an internal model to infer emotional associations and memories via projections to the amygdala rdcu.be/el19t nature.com/articles/s4158…

🧵1\New Preprint! Social pain, the emotional pain caused by aversive experiences with other individuals, is an umbrella term that includes experiences such as social isolation, social exclusion, social rejection, and social loss and can be used as a signal to drive a need state

I have seen folks waste so much time by not properly planning research. Missed literature, missing controls, ignored hypotheses, etc. Lack of planning also produces bad science (e.g. analysis until significant). So I am writing an app. Looking for feedback.

I don't understand how someone can read this and not think that the American biomedical research system is a modern miracle that should be protected at all costs

After 18 years as an editor at Nature Portfolio journals and Science Magazine , I am now a freelance editor. By being a step away from your work, I can take an objective view and give constructive feedback to improve papers and grant proposals. biosciedit.co.uk 1/n

The NIH notified me yesterday that there is currently no policy that supports applying for a R00 that is associated with a terminated K99. So now, both the postdoc K99 (Harvard, $250k) and the R00 (non-Harvard institution TBD, $750) are BOTH effectively terminated.

E11 Bio is launching Volara: an open-source Python library for block-wise processing of large volumetric microscopy datasets! Built on top of Daisy (a lightweight framework from the Funke Lab at Janelia), Volara features block-wise task abstractions, making scalable image

The way Rumi looks at Blue cuz she knows it's her time to leave and Blue is the one escorting her out 😭

The combination of #artificialintelligence and #socialmedia poses a threat to democracy. Our new paper explains how AI swarms can fabricate grassroots consensus, fragment shared reality, engage in mass harassment, interfer with elections, and erode institutional trust:

An analysis of ~100,000 academics finds that a small subset of academics generate majority of tweets. That vocal minority can skew how the public—and even journalists—infer “academic consensus,” potentially fueling false perceptions.

Without a doubt, the spread of scientific mis/disinformation may be one of the most serious public health threats of our time.

After over a year of incubating, I’m excited to share a new project inspired by a ~decade of in vivo drug discovery experience 🧬 Artemis is a Focused Research Organization (FRO) to establish alternative, naturally physiologically human-like animal species for complex disease

Question: What happens when you elect women to office? Answer: You get higher economic growth as a direct result. Why?: In part, because women are less likely to be criminal and corrupt and are less vulnerable to political opportunism. Source: "Women legislators and economic
