Another great #SfNHillDay in the books!

Thank you @slotkin.senate.gov , @peters.senate.gov , and @debbiedingell.house.gov —and their staff—for your strong support of steady, predictable, and robust funding for #neuroscience research.

You don't have to be on Capitol Hill to advocate for neuroscience!

Whether it's reaching out to your representatives or engaging locally there are many ways to make your voice heard.

Contact your members of Congress on FY27 neuroscience priorities: vist.ly/4vcxc

As a science communicator, I’m hoping I can be a resource for anyone at #SfN25 #NeuroAdvocate session. #SciPolicy #SciComm #Advocacy #AmEditing #Research

As a science communicator, I’d love for #SfN25 to know there are science writers and editors who are excellent at shaping complex info for the broader public. Put the “so what” first. #Advocacy #NeuroAdvocate

Learning how to become a #NeuroAdvocate at #SfN25. How will you #StandUpForScience? #Research #Neuroscience

Young brain researchers ponder other careers amid federal funding cuts Cuts and disruptions to federal research funding are causing many young brain scientists to reconsider their career choice.

On NPR's nationally syndicated radio program "All Things Considered," three SfN members speak about the funding and career challenges facing the neuroscience community.

Beautiful day on Capitol Hill with @americanbrainco.bsky.social and @acnporg.bsky.social meeting Rep. Neal Dunn, Sen. Bill Cassidy & LHHS Approps staff to champion NIH & BRAIN Initiative funding for neuroscience research. 🧠 💪

So wonderful to get to chat with Maggie McPherson from
@senkatiebritt.bsky.social's office! We talked about how important it is to maintain research stability, and how recent administration actions have destabilized it. It was a great conversation! #neuroadvocate #sfnHillday

Protect F&A Research Funding Behind Every Breakthrough The future is shaped by those who push beyond what is known. At UC San Diego, we don’t just navigate change — we create it. Every breakthrough, every discovery starts with the courage to explore, to challenge, to redefine what’s possible. But even the boldest ideas need a foundation. Research requires resources, collaboration, and investment to turn possibility into reality. Without it, the unknown stays unknown. With it, we change the world. ucsd.edu/research

🔬 Scientific breakthroughs need proper infrastructure to happen.

This video from @ucsandiego.bsky.social explains why F&A funding is essential for researchers turning ideas into lifesaving discoveries.

Protect the future of research. Contact your representatives!

It was great talking with Megan Medley from Rep. Aderholt's office today. We discussed how incredibly important it is to maintain stability for the US research enterprise, and how recent actions by the administration have destabilized it. Don't destabilize the US!

I had so much fun talking with Caleb Alford from Senator Tuberville's office. We discussed how important it is that fundamental research discoveries continue with US support. #neuroadvocate #sfnHillday @neuronline.sfn.org #neurosky

From New Baltimore to neuroscience: Why science funding matters Federal science funding is more than just a line item in the budget — it drives the growth, innovation and services communities rely on.

As part of the @sciencehomecoming.bsky.social project, I wrote an opinion piece for the New Baltimore, MI Voice News on the importance of scientific funding.
