I am not a political pawn. I am a living, breathing human being who has dedicated her life to a scientific problem that I believe matters for human health. The article below tells our story; I hope you will read it and share it www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/m...

Those of us doing medical or other types of scientific research already knew this. It's long past time for the press to reveal the tremendous losses to the public that have already happened and will continue to happen as the next generation avoids choosing a research career. wapo.st/4cjuZRN

I'm co-organizing a free, 2-day Zoom workshop from the NAS & hope you'll consider attending! 📅 April 23-24: Discuss how we can enhance scientific integrity in the social and behavioral sciences REGISTER: www.nationalacademies.org/projects/DBA... PROGRAM: www.nationalacademies.org/cdn/material...

Two weeks until the Registration closes for the 1st German Fish Meeting! 🐟🧪 Reminder I will be chairing a session for Postdocs in the Job Market. If that's you, apply and tell everyone why fishes are the best and why they should be shoveling $ at you www.germanfishmeeting.org/from-postoc-...

Celebratory dance in Hungary

You can cut your water use (shorter showers, less lawn watering) — and it still likely won’t be enough to keep your city in a desert from running short in the long run. Climate change is moving faster than water savings can keep up.

Hungary has chosen Europe. Europe has always chosen Hungary. A country reclaims its European path. The Union grows stronger.

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Indirect Costs (But Were Afraid to Ask) I have been working on this post for some time. Lots of data, analysis, and some policy recommendations. goodscience.substack.com/p/everything... Questions and comments welcome.

Just watched the NIH Strategic Planning input session... Some observations: (1) I am glad that NIH is doing this (although I do remain skeptical about how seriously they will take input which challenges their existing intentions). PEOPLE SHOULD STILL COMMENT! grants.nih.gov/news-events/... 1/4

Fountain of youth? Cognitive rejuvenation through partial reprogramming of engram cells: Neuron www.cell.com/neuron/fullt...

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

I will say this again: Science isn’t just something that nerds do, it’s the foundation of the modern world. It’s why this app exists. It’s why child mortality rate isn’t 50% anymore. It’s how we’re able to launch people to the moon. It’s how we’re able to grow food that feeds half the world.

I was fortunate to hear all 3 of them give a lecture in a symposium when I was a grad student at Cornell. Now all 3 are gone. 😢

Heated rivalries don't just happen on the ice. One early rivalry shaped modern neuroscience, but a new discovery suggests that the "loser" might have been onto something. Learn all about it in this week's post by Stephen Wisser: pennneuroknow.com/2026/03/24/t... #PsychSciSky #SciComm 🧠🟦 🧪
