SNAPers are everywhere!
SNAP member Erin Morrow (@erinmorrow.bsky.social, @scipolucla.bsky.social) gave a presentation on the formation of SNAP & initiatives: #McClintockLetters and congressional visits. Thanks to @cnsmtg.bsky.social @cogneuronews.bsky.social for the opportunity! #CNS2026

Great first day at the @aaas.org annual meeting yesterday! Exciting to see @erinmorrow.bsky.social, Dana Center Initiative trainee from UCLA/CDU, as part of this plenary lecture. #neurosociety #AAASmtg

You’re awesome Sneha!

Thanks @mildobserver.bsky.social for taking the time to chat with me, superstar @erinmorrow.bsky.social & others. Our convo was inspired by the McClintock Letters, run by @cornellasap.bsky.social & @snapcoalition.bsky.social, w/ the mission of reconnecting scientists with their hometown communities.

Agree! We don’t live in a vacuum. As you mentioned, the scientific questions we ask are affected by who we are (our humanity!) and the society we live in. How can we separate something that’s already bound?

So cool to see these results out, Allie!

And that work is never done alone!! You rock 🙂

NSF and NIH suspend grants to UCLA Move follows Trump administration finding that school didn’t effectively combat antisemitism

Multiple federal agencies are suspending research funding at UCLA over allegations it didn’t properly deal with antisemitism on campus. scim.ag/4lbLAcx

Thank you Ali! I really appreciate it.

Thank you Dave! 🙂

Really appreciate your support Berna 🤍

So grateful to be one of the 500+ early-career scientists returning to their roots this month. The SNAP team behind this campaign has been such a blast to work with! @snapcoalition.bsky.social

Early career folks, please consider taking *1 minute* to sign our open letter for the future of U.S. science ✍️

@snapcoalition.bsky.social

Researchers have a radical plan to thwart Trump's war on science: Talking to people Faced with federal funding cuts, scientists are learning to communicate about what they do — and why it matters.

Working with and learning from incredible leaders like @isakoditomassi.bsky.social and dozens others @snapcoalition.bsky.social has been the highlight of my year! Read how trainees are taking action: www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

So excited to share our new preprint! We used behavior & pupillometry to examine how reinterpreting negative emotions shapes memory for emotionally charged events.

Huge thanks to my spectacular advisor, Dave, for all his help and support with my first project of grad school!
