Beyond grateful to be selected as a 2026 Sloan Research Fellow in Neuroscience! 🧠🤓
It takes a village, and this wouldn't be possible without my amazing team, mentees, mentors, collaborators and colleagues! Very excited to continue our work on the neuroscience of social learning. #SloanFellow

Democracies are vulnerable to misinformation. Prevailing interventions emphasize truth detection. L. Geay, @carocharp.bsky.social and I argue we ought to strengthen people’s ability to estimate claims plausibility and to calibrate their confidence under uncertainty.

#CPConf2025 looking forward to seeing you at our symposium tomorrow on cognitive map biases across psychopathology.

The design choice is a combination of first-year PI + addressing post-lunch fatigue. Here you go...!

with the inimitable @mgarvert.bsky.social, @carocharp.bsky.social & Matt Nour.

Mostly autistic traits and anxiety, but in the general population rather than disorders per se!

Excited to see this work at CPC!!!

What am I supposed to say to this generation of young scientists? Undermining the future of American science is not a path to accountability — it’s a path to decline.

Gut wrenching essay about trainees by Daphna Shohamy (Director of Columbia's Zuckerman Neuroscience Institute).

"let’s be clear: It isn’t institutions that are being punished. It’s the researchers who are the future of science in this country ..." 💔

Thank you for your service!!!!

And it's worth "plumbing" (pun intended) the depth of our minds! #sans2025 @kevinochsner.bsky.social

And Saturday, Chaebin Yoo will present some computational modelling of ABCD behavioral data to characterize profiles of decision-making in early adolescence, in hope of identifying/predicting clinical symptoms (P3-A-14)

Today (Thursday), Yukta Thyagaraj @yuktat.bsky.social will present her work dissecting cognitive mechanisms of feedback-seeking decisions and how those vary along
internalizing symptoms, particularly social anxiety (P1-D-36)

The Social Learning and Decisions lab is represented at #SANS2025.

The crush of new grant cancellations hasn't let up.

If your grant was terminated (or your app was pulled) please use this Google Form👇 to submit details for tracking purposes.

Multiple advocacy efforts are moving forward, but we must must must know more about what grants were cancelled and why.

'rescheduled at a later date' rather than cancelled, but no information about when that date might be.

Such a shame for all the possibly impactful and transformative proposals...

Upon learning that yesterday would be my last day as a program officer at the National Science Foundation, I shared this parting message with my colleagues. The next few months will be frenetic and stressful for them. Here are some things that you can do to help them with the mission ahead. (1)

Federal Register hold makes ‘end run’ around court pause on NIH funding freeze NIH-related updates to the Federal Register, which are required for the scheduling of study sections and advisory councils, are on hold indefinitely, according to an email reviewed by <i>The Transmitt...

🚨This should be amplified!!
Study sections and council meetings are still being cancelled despite the court order unblocking NIH freezes, effectively halting any new research grant from being funded: www.thetransmitter.org/funding/fede...

‘A gut punch:’ How U.S. neuroscience trainees are grappling with diversity-based funding flux Ten trainees spoke with The Transmitter about how the precarious state of U.S. federal funding is affecting their research and career plans.

Over the past few weeks, science funding in the U.S. has become shrouded in uncertainty. Ten trainees with diversity-based funding share how the changes are affecting their research and career plans.
