Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..
Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.
This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.
44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.

Happy to share our new study about how cortical and thalamic inputs engage cholinergic interneurons in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) core, all done by my graduate student Emily Jang:β¨www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Weβre excited that the @fens.org Forum 2028 is coming to #Glasgow, with the BNA as host society. We look forward to welcoming neuroscientists from across Europe and beyond to Scotland.
Neuroscience, collaboration, and a Glasgow welcome - and yes, the ceilidh shoes may be required!
Oh, neat. Good thing we're having to deal with complete global fucking chaos because of one insane narcissistic pedo man-baby instead...

We think of white matter as the highways of the brain. But when we followed development along those highways, we were surprised. The journey is more complex than we thought. My final PhD paper, βTwo Axes of White Matter Developmentβ, is now out in @natcomms.nature.com! π£οΈπ§ β¨
