We think that all memory is stored in the brain. But our study published today in @NatureComms shows that all cells—even kidney cells—can count, detect patterns, store memories, and do so similarly to brain cells. My first (co)corresponding author paper!🧵nature.com/articles/s4146…

The Toronto Star says only 10 of 3800 med students in Ontario are international. Total gaslighting by @fordnation

All of Ontarios medical schools except McMaster require Canadian citizenship or landed immigrant status to apply. It’s gaslighting on an epic scale and few newspapers bothered to fact check.

In case you're still confused, today's Nobel in physics is actually for mathematics and was awarded to a molecular biologist and cognitive psychologist. Hope that's all clear now.
