I often think about what it will look like to rebuild NIH. It's going to be hard, expensive work. And that's if we stop the damage and start rebuilding soon. It's only going to get harder the longer this lasts.

In a first last month, renewables supplied more power to the U.S. than natural gas, a milestone in the shift to clean energy.

Science needs more than funding to prosper. We aren’t going to find the cure for Alzheimer’s disease through hostility, govt sponsored misinformation, banning words, eliminating DEI efforts, and spotlighting fringe conspiracy theories. One party is doing this. One party is fighting against this.

It's never been easy to be trans in the US...this is more true than ever today on Trans Day of Visibility. RFK Jr. et al., are actively attacking trans folks and gender affirming care. You can send a quick letter to your rep: fight2win.standupforscience.net/campaign/153... @standupforscience.net

Stoked to be named "Researcher of the Year" at Western's medical school. A real honour that reflects the hard work of my trainees and collaborators. www.schulich.uwo.ca/about/news-e...

While Trump launches us into a new forever war, he’s quietly preparing to take over our elections at home and rig the midterms in his favor. He knows he can’t win on the merits, so he’s preparing to cheat. We won’t let him get away with it.

In 2025, @blackinneuro.bsky.social celebrated its 5th anniversary and announced the HBCU-MINDS Network, an initiative focused on building neuroscience research infrastructure, expanding graduate training and increasing opportunities at HBCUs. By @jheannellejohnson.bsky.social bit.ly/4sjPW5C

… for my audience of millions: I’ve spent the last 30 minutes trying to add references to my bibliography. They show up, but then keep disappearing, so I’m still unable to complete this biosketch, which I’ve been working on (on on-and-off) for the last 5 hours.

"Filipino role models in psychology were essentially nonexistent for me. On top of that, the articles assigned in my seminars never included Filipino participants. ” Read about how Dr. Vinluan's experiences inspired this research: communities.springernature.com/posts/the-mi...

@seanryanforbuffalo.bsky.social A valued member of the scientific community right here in Buffalo is being held by ICE. What can you as mayor do about this?

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Lol. #bizarroDavid

New year, new era of discovery. Thank you for all of your support this year and we can’t wait to share 2026 with you. Happy New Year from all of us at The Jackson Laboratory!

If you have some time off these holidays have another look at our beautiful review on #LC neuropeptides 🔵🧠

Heads up I will be hiring a postdoc and some techs in the new year! Lots of ephys and fiber photometry. If you've got soon to graduate PhD students or undergrads, send 'em my way!

Happy holidays, from my family to yours.

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

Great news! We are looking for an NHP neuroscientist as the assistant professor level. We have no preconceived ideas -- looking for the most exciting research going. If you have any questions, please reach out. universityaffairs.ca/search-jobs/...

Congrats to all the new Mentees and Mentors. Look forward to meeting you at the annual meeting

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

We are thrilled to announce that the preliminary program for the 2026 GRC on the Frontal Cortex is now live! www.grc.org/frontal-cort... Registration is now open for both the GRC and our GRS, chaired by @albitc.bsky.social and @jorge-miranda.bsky.social!

Six of the nine Nobel Prize winners this year work in the U.S. Three of the six were born outside the U.S., which is the pattern most years. No country has benefited more from welcoming immigrants from around the world. www.nobelprize.org

Good morning, #psycgooddeedday2025 ! Binghamton University is ready to go!!

The court’s three liberal justices – Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson – dissented from the decision and apparently are the only ones upholding the Constitution and protecting the power of Congress. Congress would do well to recognize this.

NEW: I arrived in the U.S. eight weeks ago to report on how the administration’s immigration crackdown was playing out from the front lines. What I saw Thursday was the culmination of ICE’s aggressive behavior. By @tilleckert.com

a lot of our trainees are thinking about going abroad for GS (who can blame them) but they're seeing that Masters Degrees are required for PhD programs? Can folks weight in on this?

Few much-needed reminders: 1️⃣Strive to give your best, recognizing that your best can change daily, and 2️⃣ don’t forget kindness to yourself. It isn’t selfish; it’s essential for success in every aspect of life. #Kindness

I just sent this email to Director Bhattacharya and am sending him a hard copy by registered mail. 1/14

As the chair of a large or complex department, many days start with disappointment that you haven't yet gotten to doing the big, special things that you aspire(d) to...

May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.

URM faculty received 7% more negative votes & were 44% less likely to receive unanimous votes from P&T committees -evidence that P&T decision-making processes contribute to the sustained underrepresentation of URM faculty in tenured faculty positions www.nature.com/articles/s41...

"..NIH remains dedicated to fostering open, competitive, and accountable science and supporting investigators as they pursue innovative, and sometimes controversial, questions grounded in rigorous methodology.".....unless you're study anything related to trans people....then you can just fuck off.
