Here, @seanmcarroll.bsky.social and I have a wide-ranging conversation around: Why are brain and mental disorders so hard to understand and treat?

You have FOUR (4) more days to order a Biology is Bigger than Binaries shirt, designed by the lovely and talented @franzanth.bsky.social.

Our R01 was part of yesterday's "mass termination" at Harvard; 1 of ~1000 NIH grants in Trump's "fight". The irony of how many Jewish (& non-Jewish) researchers/scientists/physicians/patients/students will be harmed in the name of "fighting antisemitism" is sickening.deliberately cruel. #AcademicSky

Last weekend, I had the incredible experience of sharing the science of adolescence with 3000 curious, engaged listeners at TEDx Portland. The day was filled with amazing talks and performances that opened minds – and brought tears to many pairs of eyes. It's hard to put into words... 1/
Amazing news! So well-deserved! Congratulations!

LIVID and horrified (but not surprised) to learn that our R01’s diversity supplement was terminated. This is just idiotic and cruel.
Opinions / experience on submitting an appeal? I know it is very unlikely to result in funds being reinstated, but I wonder if there is still some use in submitting?
Excited to share our new study:

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.
