BREAKING: @delauro.house.gov announces at a House Oversight hearing with NIH director Jay Bhattacharya that OMB approved the agency's apportionment last night.

That means the agency should have access to its appropriated funds — 42 days after its spending bill passed.

Those three downed jets run around $90 million each.

It cost $20 million a year to operate the food kitchens serving 816,000 people in Sudan.

The savings we're getting here by annihilating decades of American science will pay for whole minutes of the operation to create decades of death, immiseration, and chaos in Iran.

Blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol dies in Buffalo. A nearly blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol miles from his home dies in Buffalo after having been missing for nearly a week.

"Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a nearly blind refugee from Burma who Border Patrol agents dropped off at a doughnut shop Thursday and left to find his way home, 5 miles away, has been found dead."

To read the words is to damn all involved, from Trump on down.

The hidden ICE blueprint that should horrify every American | Will Bunch An internal Department of Homeland Security document shows how ICE plans to cram thousands of detained human beings inside a Georgia warehouse.

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses?

Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards

My new column on the camps www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

I'll add that while ICE does not have the manpower to do this everywhere, they don't need to do this everywhere to have the intended effect

We have an unprecedented moment of solidarity between leftists, liberal, centrists, and even non-MAGA Republicans on opposing DHS and after like 3 days Dems completely folded their hand and are prepared to give ICE $10 billion more if they pinky promise to behave themselves

ICE and Palantir: US agents using health data to hunt “illegal immigrants” US immigration agents are using an app developed by Palantir that draws on the health records of millions of Americans to find and detain people they deem illegal immigrants. The revelation comes as ...

🚨Baby Tuskegee 2.0 🚨

The U.S. is funding a study echoing Tuskegee—this time involving babies. (1/6🧵)

📱 CALL/EMAIL YOUR REPS. Today.
(Study may already be underway.)

Faust got the study protocol— it’s unethical, dangerous, and worse than we feared.

Let's dive in 👉

Well it’s been quite a year 🫠 but I’m happy and tremendously grateful to close it out on a personal science high-note - Ill be going to my first ever Cosyne, and I officially received the NOA for my K99/R00 from NIDCD 🙏 thank you Santa ie hardworking NIH staff for the best possible holiday gift 🥹

Americans & Europeans needlessly exposing African babies to preventable diseases just to see if they can find something that would justify their preexisting antivaccine beliefs is not only unscientific and actually anti-science, it is very much reminiscent of colonialist, racist human rights abuses

A figure from our preprint showing ABR data as a line plot for sounds from the left and right at different sound levels.

1/4 New preprint! We designed an open-source system for auditory brainstem response (ABR), a research & clinical auditory test. Costs $400 to build (vs $10K to buy a proprietary one) and works great! All open-source if you want to make one for your lab or classroom. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Taken together, it appears that as RFK Jr. cuts funding and aid to vulnerable countries, he is more than willing to exploit infants in a situation where we already know the HepB birth dose is safe and effective.

This is disgraceful, and it most certainly will not improve trust in public health.

US FDA sends warning letters to Walmart, Target for selling recalled baby formula The FDA said four major retailers continued to sell baby formula linked to a nationwide outbreak of bacterial illness in infants even after the products were recalled.

Reminder‼️ALL ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula is currently recalled due to an outbreak of infant botulism.

As of Dec 12, Walmart, Target, Kroger, and Albertsons were still stocking this formula. Do not buy it.

Estrogen modulates reward prediction errors and reinforcement learning - Nature Neuroscience Dopamine encoding of reward prediction errors naturally fluctuates over females’ reproductive cycles with estrogenic signaling due to reduced expression of dopamine reuptake proteins.

Thrilled to share our new paper, out now in @natneuro.nature.com, uncovering how estradiol, the most potent estrogen, modulates reinforcement learning and reward prediction errors across biological levels. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

#blueprint 1/7

Academics who have advised a graduate student from China over the past years would be banned from federal funding. This would give the federal government one more lever to attack scientists. And how long before they expand the list of "hostile foreign" countries?

at least needing to print the posters on time will save us from ourselves 😅

I thought I would have sent my sfn poster for printing by now but instead I am finding The Best Example Unit to put on the poster. help.

PSA for people with NIH grant periods starting January 1st (including most NIGMS MIRAs): your RPPR is due Saturday, but they haven’t sent out the usual automated reminders, presumably due to the shutdown

Not that he didn’t already know, but now Trump knows for sure he can roll the Dems every time and there’s no need to negotiate for anything

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

Super excited to share the first part of my thesis work!

Perhaps how you might be able to both recognize someone’s voice *and* understand what they’re saying, we find that both social identity and vocalization category can be decoded from gerbil auditory cortex activity👂🧠
