Robert F. Kennedy Jr. might be our next HHS secretary. We really are about to trade the Cancer Moonshot and Alzheimers research program for a focus on why seed oils and fluoridated water are bad. This truly is the darkest timeline.

We're hiring post docs to support our new P01 project on astrocytes and AD/ADRD! Experience in 2 photon imaging or ephys is a plus! If interested, email [email protected] and send a CV!

Thank you so much, Drew! We are so grateful for the awareness you bring and for everyone's support (and of course, your face!) 🧡

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at BlinkingGuy.com
