By committing at least $400 billion to care work, he sent a strong message that care is the essential infrastructure that makes all other work possible. From allowing parents to join the workforce full-time to supporting the dignity of aging adults and the independence of people with disabilities, care jobs are the jobs that power the rest of our economy.

His jobs and infrastructure plan will create over 1 million care jobs that pay a living wage, provide basic benefits and include the right to join a union. After decades of figh
Tracking activity at near cellular resolution could reveal how different regions of the brain interact
WASHINGTON – Researchers have developed a head-mounted miniature microscope that can be used to image activity from the entire outer part of the brain, or cortex, in freely behaving mice. When combined with implantable see-through skulls, the new microscope can capture the brain activity of mice for more than 300 days.
Mice are often used to study the brain because they have many of the same brain structures and connectivity as humans. The new microscope, known as the mini-mScope, offers an important new tool for studying how neural activity from multiple regions of the cortex contribute to behavior, cognition and perception.
