@skinnylatte I remember, as a child in the early 60’s, going to Palo Alto from our home in Midwest university town. My dad had fellowships at #Stanford. Palo Alto was much smaller and not memorable. Mountain View? Did it even exist? No silicon fabs. Much of the peninsula was dominated by orange tree orchards. There were no highways so to get there we had to drive on the single lane roads through the endless oranges. It was boring, but the smell was intoxicating. In recent years, the only orange grove I know of is a small plot adjacent to San Jose city hall. Some experiences are gone forever, but unforgettable.

“Moolenaar, a Republican who chairs the House Select Ctte on the Chinese Communist Party, wrote to 6 US universities - incl. #Stanford & Carnegie Mellon - requesting their policies on Chinese nationals, an attempt to curb the flow of Chinese students to USA over national security concerns.” #trump

#China accounted for about 1/4 of the total of foreign students, the 2nd-largest group in the US, after #India.

‘We Are Witnessing a New Brain Drain’ as Scientists Flee America for France

Aix Marseille University put out the call to American scientists on March 7 as news continued that the Trump administration was pulling funding from many universities and putting heavy restrictions on research topics. “We are witnessing a new brain drain”

Il corpo umano nasconde la sua versione personale di Ozempic: una molecola di soli 12 aminoacidi chiamata BRP. I ricercatori Stanford l'hanno isolata tra 20.000 geni e funziona esclusivamente sul cervello, dimezzando l'appetito senza effetti collaterali. Nei test animali? Perdita di peso senza nausea o complicazioni. Niente farmaci sintetici: la prossima svolta anti-obesità è già dentro di noi.

Structure of the U.S. “industrial-censorship complex”



In January 2017, Obama's outgoing Homeland Security Secretary Jay Johnson made protecting election infrastructure part of his agency's mandate.

And right behind that:

The Department of Homeland Security created a Foreign Influence Task Force to focus on “disinformation about election infrastructure.”

The State Department's Center for Global Engagement expanded its interagency mandate to counter foreign influence operations.

The FBI created a Foreign Influence Task Force to “identify and counter malicious foreign influence operations directed against the United States,” with a particular focus on voting and elections.

These were key components of what later became known as the censorship industrial complex.

In 2018, the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee requested a “Study on Russian Interference in Social Media,” a study that has become the rationale for pressuring social media management companies to stop being indecisive about content moderation.

The committee also commissioned Graphika, a social media analytics firm, to co-author a report on Russian interference in social media. Interestingly, Graphika cites DARPA and the Pentagon's Minerva initiative, which funds “basic social science research,” as its key partners. And Graphika's report “on Russian interference in social media” was the rationale behind the creation of the Stanford Internet Observatory-led “Election Integrity Partnership” - a key element of the government's censorship police during and after the 2020 election.

The Atlantic Council's Digital Forensics Research Lab is the organization that joined the Stanford-led quartet. Partially funded by the State Department - including through the Center for Global Engagement - and the Department of Energy, the think tank counts among its directors CIA executives and defense secretaries. The lab's senior director is Graham Bouki, former top aide to President Obama for cybersecurity, counterterrorism, intelligence and homeland security.

The third of four organizations to later join the Election Integrity Partnership was the University of Washington's 2019 Center for an Informed Public. Stanford alumna and visiting professor Kate Starbird co-founded the Center. The National Science Foundation and the Office of Naval Research provided funding for Dr. Starbird's social media work. The Observatory is a program of Stanford University's Center for Cyber Policy, which includes former Obama National Security Council staffer and Russian Ambassador Michael McFaul, as well as other prominent individuals with security backgrounds or affiliations .

In the run-up to the 2020 election, the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), which took on the task of protecting election infrastructure, expanded its scope to include combating disinformation perceived as a threat to election security. This eventually came to encompass any political speech by Americans, including speculation and even satire to the extent that it questioned or undermined state-approved narratives about unprecedented mass mail-in elections.

Congratulations to Laramie Duncan and #Stanford collaborators on publishing "Mapping the cellular etiology of schizophrenia and complex brain phenotypes" in @natureneuro !

Combining brain-wide genetics and transcriptomics analyses implicated different cell types in #schizophrenia (e.g., retrosplenial excitatory and striatal MSN) versus other disorders (e.g., D2 MSN in alcohol consumption). Excited to explore and learn more with this promising new approach...

www.nature.comMapping the cellular etiology of schizophrenia and complex brain phenotypes | Nature NeurosciencePsychiatric disorders are multifactorial and effective treatments are lacking. Probable contributing factors to the challenges in therapeutic development include the complexity of the human brain and the high polygenicity of psychiatric disorders. Combining well-powered genome-wide and brain-wide genetics and transcriptomics analyses can deepen our understanding of the etiology of psychiatric disorders. Here, we leverage two landmark resources to infer the cell types involved in the etiology of schizophrenia, other psychiatric disorders and informative comparison of brain phenotypes. We found both cortical and subcortical neuronal associations for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and depression. These cell types included somatostatin interneurons, excitatory neurons from the retrosplenial cortex and eccentric medium spiny-like neurons from the amygdala. In contrast we found T cell and B cell associations with multiple sclerosis and microglial associations with Alzheimer’s disease. We provide a framework for a cell-type-based classification system that can lead to drug repurposing or development opportunities and personalized treatments. This work formalizes a data-driven, cellular and molecular model of complex brain disorders. Duncan and colleagues link specific human brain cell types to schizophrenia and other complex brain phenotypes, providing mechanistic insights and a cellular taxonomy for psychiatric disorders.
