I haven't seen people here mention this letter from the mayor of Illinois' 2nd-largest city (Aurora, 40+% Latino) to the Aurora Police following egregious attacks by immigration in Aurora and related protests So here it is!

A Cornell University researcher has been developing an artificial heart for children for more than 20 years. Now, his research is on hold and his lab is shut down.

So touched by this wonderful thank-you video from Dr. Rhoades and the Thriving Families team celebrating the success of our recent fundraiser! 💫💛 #communitysupport #gratitude #thrivingfamilies

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

This Radiolab episode is one of the most beautiful and moving pieces of science communication I've come across in a long time.

I’m thrilled to share this preprint with a brilliant co-author team. We describe several crises mental health science faces in the current sociopolitical context, as well as new and previously-overlooked opportunities to make non-incremental progress. https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/nz42x_v1

Look at these cuts that will devastate med/behavioral health research, severely limit mental health services, & end educational programming. YOU help STOP these cuts by flooding Congress using the link below. This is for ANYONE to do, so please spread the word!! www.votervoice.net/APAAdvocacy/...

🚨 A new rule would let career scientists like NSF/NIH program officers be replaced by political appointees Already 14,000+ public comments, deadline is Friday 📣 Comments can be short. Courts consider them—and scientists with NSF/NIH experience are especially impactful Speak up! shorturl.at/WKuBj

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

Our university’s NIH CTSA (Clinical and Translational Science Award) was just cancelled for having some keywords that just mean it will serve ALL people in Utah. This funds research that moves discovery science into clinical therapies. This is literally the mandate of the NIH! 😰 🧪

JUST dropped! Neuron review with Matt Birnie on the evolving neurobiology of early-life stress. Where is our field? what are our challenges? where and how do we move forward? www.cell.com/neuron/fullt... would love your thoughts🧠🧪 @cp-trendsneuro.bsky.social @cate-cholamine.bsky.social

I received one of the 232 NIH grant "terminations" sent to scientists at Columbia last night. My research focuses on improving maternal and child health in the US. Also affected: ongoing clinical trials, research training programs, and research centers that aim to improve the health of Americans.

The cost of child care now exceeds the price of college tuition in 38 states — Utah among them — and the District of Columbia, according to a new analysis conducted by the Economic Policy Institute. Read more from @stateline.org

Let's be very clear: Gutting science/education sectors and calling it 'cost-savings' is manipulative and false. The truth: People in ALL states will lose jobs, cures for your diagnoses will be delayed, tuition costs will spike. The world depends on US Science and Ed and both will suffer severely.

Young children make sense of the world by connecting new experiences with prior knowledge. Take this little one, who has opened her cheeseburger only to find that it is unexpectedly covered with small, white, rectangular objects. (Thread 🧵)

Happy New Year!! So thrilled to share this preprint (Kara Weisman, Lucy King, and I worked on this for 8+ yrs): "Beliefs about the development of mental life" Read to find an interesting story on how people perceive different domains of capacities changing from birth to age 5 yrs. osf.io/kq4j7

During pregnancy moms brain changes weekly. This supports the idea that pregnancy is a period of high neuroplasticity—the capacity of networks of neurons to adapt and reorganize. www.nih.gov/news-events/...

Your toddler wants nothing more than to be like you. To walk like you. To talk like you. To emulate your every move. And sometimes they can get pretty creative about their approach. I just love this video shared to TT by h3yitskaylee. (Thread 🧵)
