Trying to explain your PhD project to your family.

The University of Toledo has teamed up with Purdue and Ohio State on a nearly $500K project funded by the Dept. of the Interior to control wild horse populations. Dr. John W. Turner, Jr. will lead lab work and on-site management in Oregon, focusing on a new contraceptive vaccine.

Fantastic advice from @MoeNeuro on chalk talks. Take her up on her offer of a recording!

I can no longer responsibly support this platform with my participation. Many of my best colleagues are still here, please find me at vasopressin334.bsky.social. For the algorithm, here's an article about how my lifespan is 7 years shorter than I thought. doi.org/10.1192/bjp.20…

Today is a day for writing. For thinking. For creating. For pulling together a thousand spun threads and stitching patches into a quilt. For watching the wild geese outside my window, inside their umwelt, reminding me of my place in the family of things. youtu.be/A9PRwVVqqH0?si…
