I’m begging neuroscientists to please decide if “Population Neuroscience” will henceforth refer to groups of people or groups of neurons 😭😭

My best friend was there 🥹👏🏾👏🏾
Why does Delta airlines label me Mrs? Not that they need to know my marital status at all, bc it’s Dr!
What happens if you wear an overnight lip balm in the daytime? Do all nighttime products need SPF to make them safe in the sun?

Whatever ancient secret South Africans have in their music, I hope it never dies. Any genre they touch turns to gold.
I’m just blessed to be on the same planet to hear it 🙏🏾😩
True story bro.
Check me out! Won last year's Young Explorer Award from AAAS/Science and I get to present my work in Switzerland next week 😎 youngexploreraward.nomisfoundation.ch
Sooo everyone else in my F99/K00 fellowship got their termination notices but I didn’t. My work *and* my mechanism are both DEI
What gives?
i cant agree more. let’s get some crunch in there, tf
In a blow to many foreign medical researchers who rely on U.S. funding, the NIH has announced that by the end of September, it will halt what are known as “foreign subawards,” in which U.S. researchers share their grant money with overseas collaborators. scim.ag/42UpRyQ
HOW DO YOU DE-FUND PBS, NPR, NSF, NIH, FDA, CDC, AND PUBLIC EDUCATION??? LIKE WHAT ELSE IS THERE??????????? PUBLIC LIBRARIES AND THE POST OFFICE????
Budget released today:
40% cut to NIH
50% cut to NSF
If enacted, this will destroy academic research in the United States. It will also have a major trickle down effect on the entire academic ecosystem
Time to catch up on the past week’s news about science and medicine in the US. Whew. 1/10
Just thinking about how there's literally a BROADWAY MUSICAL about why we needed to enact the Food & Drug Act.
NIH is ending billions of dollars in foreign subawards, jeopardizing thousands of projects on infectious diseases, cancer and more.
Unless foreign researchers secure funding directly from NIH by October — a tall order for any researcher — clinical trials abroad and other research will shut down.
WHAT (and i cannot emphasize this enough) THEE FUCK
I'm personally working on putting my time where my values lie. I'll be attending. mobilize.us/s/TXzddI
Clocked that too. smh
SfN reversed their decision, THE WORKSHOP IS ON, it will center around communicating neuroscience to non-English speaking communities, see you at SfN 2025!!!!
In our first “Postdoc perspectives” essay, @fleabrained.bsky.social and @maribel-patino.bsky.social explain how grassroots organizations led by trainees are stepping up to provide career and mentorship guidance for neuroscience students from marginalized backgrounds.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name.
It is blatantly unconstitutional.
It’s honestly just another DEI cut. GRFP always had a focus on diversity, outreach, and pipeline strengthening (look up the history and the predecessor programs).
As a 2015 recipient, I’m devastated. First Ford, then DSPAN, now GRFP.
