Hey #neuroscience people, I am working on a Nature Medicine submission and wanted a graphic displaying the relationship between locus coeruleus tau and amyloid pathology and memory. Where can I find free assets that I could use? Also, what software you recommend for that?

I like Alex O'Connor (formerly the CosmicSkeptic, but softened since his militant atheist days), but as a biologist I was disappointed by this interview with Iain McGilchrist, a psychiatrist who takes an evo-neuro theory too far.

Introducing a divide of focussed vs wider attention of the left vs right brain, he says this is seen in science/logic vs religion/wonder.

I started researching this topic with unbridled (and apparently unfounded) optimism, hoping to highlight an example of a public health problem that we handled so well. Instead, I found a bit of a mixed bag: we made quite a bit of progress in handling lead pollution and still managed to fall short.
