of mych nerd challenge. we need to invest in basic science, right? there s a shrimp on a treadmill drama. someone said how shrimp responded. images of shrimp on a treadmill and this was emblematic of science gone wrong. a lot of times you re doing these small tiny, seemingly irrelevant things but the shrimp guy one of the most important tools in mapping the friend was a protein that came out of a jellyfish out of puget sound. proteins that s it s the kind of tool that makes possible to start imaging the brain circuits in action. these things may seem distant to everyday concerns, but who do you want putting the shrimp on the treadmill, congress doing that or scientists, nerds with their classes saying well, let s see how animals walk?
