Assistant prof neuroscientist studying TBI in headbutters 🐏🐂🐐🪶 at U of Alabama CVN lab. Science correspondent for DTNS. I'll happily ID the random bone you found in the woods!
I talked about restoring hearing with 3D printed ear bones on DTNS yesterday 👂
Daily Tech News ShowDTNS for Tuesday August 4, 2026 with Jason Howell, Tom Merritt, and Dr. Niki Ackermans Project Helix Might Support the Full History of Xbox Games Listen here: shows.acast.com/dtns/episode...
Technical Tea, 100% artisanal podcasting :p
Huyen Tue DaoAs much as I could (especially as just an engineer), I did not use AI to make this. Did download some vector art, the background texture, and polaroid frames from Motion Array but @nicoleackermans.com and I doodled on our own avatars and I artisanally typed all the text.
Go follow Technical Tea now so you get the first episode as soon as it launches 😍
Technical TeaWe are getting up to some shenanigans on Episode 1... Coming soon to a podcatcher near you!
Alabama is the most biodiverse state in the US, and one where the biodiversity is the most at risk www.vox.com/climate/4814...
This US state has become an unexpected epicenter of the global extinction crisisAnd it reveals a big problem with the nation’s approach to saving endangered species.www.vox.comI've been repeating this since the banned words list initially leaked. Its likely not restricted to California either

Loot drop after defeating me: - Phone with Merlin app still recording - Roller derby crop top (+5 charisma) - Orthopedic insoles (+3 acrobatics) - Bag of holding containing exclusively useless animal facts - Witch's ring (grants "speak with animals" but the animals don't speak back)
Kingfisher & WombatLoot drop after defeating me: - bird guide - 1 pair masterwork binoculars - Hat of Magnificence (+1 to Intimidate and Performance, -2 to Stealth) - Wondrous Item: Author Copies* - Book Contract (cursed) - random cheese - cat hair (also cursed)

Goats love to bash heads—but it might give them brain damageThree headbutting goats showed signs of neurodegeneration similar to those in humans following head injurieswww.science.orgI saw "sourced from zoo" and I knew this would be a Chet paper :p Looks very cool. This is the type of neuroscience I'm all about
The TransmitterBrains sourced from a zoo, a brain bank and research labs tell the evolutionary story of a cell central to coordinating movements, social cognition, emotion and language in humans. By @siddhantpusdekar.bsky.social www.thetransmitter.org/cerebellum/p...
So excited to listen to this 3 parter! Thank you for doing this Alie!
