Another cool paper from Iran: nature.com/articles/s41... Prenatal stress makes mouse offspring more anxious, hyperactive, forgetful, and more drawn to morphine while laterodorsal tegmentum cholinergic neurons become hyperexcitable. From Kerman, a city with reported violent crackdowns on protests.

Chris Murphy is very good here. Disappearances for political speech violate our core principles. Of course they test the waters with pro-Palestinian speech on the hope that people won’t protest, and then they can move on to everyone else. Call your congresspeople to demand that Khalil be released.
