🎉 Excited to celebrate the 2025 NeuroData Discovery Grant recipients and honored to be part of this effort! Community, standards, and #OpenData together can transform ideas into discovery! #DataReuse #OpenScience 🧠💡

One of the best parts of working at Kavli is seeing bold ideas become reality, even when they're not neuroscience (shocking, I know 😉). Huge kudos to my colleague Greg Mack, the program officer who steered this effort. These new instruments will unlock discoveries in planetary & stellar space. 🔭✨

We’re proud to celebrate Nick Spitzer as the incoming President of SfN! Dr. Spitzer, former founding co-director of the Kavli Institute for Brain and Mind & professor of neurobiology at UCSD, has made significant contributions to our understanding of brain plasticity. Congrats! #KavliNeuro #SfN25

This week the Trump CDC attacked science — and our health, and our kids’ health — by twisting the truth on the CDC website. There’s things to say about the playbook they used, and that’s helped by a little explanation about scientific truth in practice. New vid explainer from me: 🧪 part 1/
