Embodiment is the concept that the function of the brain is inexorably shaped by the body, a lens that is often neglected when neuroscientists study specific brain subsystems, write @bingbrunton.bsky.social and @tuthill.bsky.social. #neuroskyence #neuroai www.thetransmitter.org/neuroai/brea...

Congrats to the 2025 cohort of McKnight Scholars! www.mcknight.org/news-ideas/2...

Congratulations to Adrienne Fairhall, Prof. of Neurobiology and Biophysics, Adjunct Prof. of Applied Mathematics, and Adjunct Prof. of Physics, who has just been elected to the National Academy of Sciences! 🍾 🎉

Congratulations to Dr. Adrienne Fairhall on being elected to the @nationalacademies.org of Science! Dr. Fairhall is a Professor at @uw-nbio.bsky.social, Director of the @uw-cnc.bsky.social, and a member of our Neural Dynamics Scientific Advisory Council.

The National Institutes of Health, the largest funder of biomedical research in the world, has fired 1,300 employees and cancelled more than $2 billion in federal research grants. https://cbsn.ws/4daiCrv

(1/2) Breakthrough study just dropped by the Allen Institute for Brain Science (@alleninstitute.bsky.social). Major shoutout to our brilliant NBIO trainees Leila Elabaddy and Sven Dorkenwald whose exceptional contributions helped make this possible! 👏

Cuts to science research funding cut American lives short − federal support is essential for medical breakthroughs theconversation.com/cuts-to-scie...

Our brilliant NBIO trainees are bringing cutting-edge research to #Cosyne2025! Will you be in Montreal this week? 🤝 Come support our emerging scientists! Full list of NBIO posters + talks 👇

Many families including mine have been impacted by Alzheimer's disease. NIH funding delays and cuts could set research back by decades, including key funding for Alzheimers's disease research centers across the US. Almost half of these centers are up for renewal now! www.kuow.org/stories/how-...

I'm pleased to report that the board has now heard from NIH that the appointments of these three investigators and similarly situated folks are being extended. Thank you NIH! Delighted that the stellar work there will be continuing!

We must learn to showcase the practical significance of basic research, demonstrating how seemingly arcane investigations yield transformative applications, writes @tonyzador.bsky.social www.thetransmitter.org/outreach/how...

Proud to be a constituent. Thanks Patty Murray! It makes me feel like all my emails are having the intended effect.

GOOD - MacArthur Foundation moving to emergency footing for nonprofit funding w/ increased giving, flexibility & trust www.macfound.org/press/perspe... I especially value them highlighting “flexible, trust-based models” that cover indirect costs at 29% & less onerous administrative requirements.

National Academy of Sciences announced it will award its 2025 Public Welfare Medal to Mary-Claire King @uwdeptmedicine.bsky.social @uwgenome.bsky.social @uwmedicine.bsky.social for her pioneering genetic research & its transformative application to human rights. #NASAward tinyurl.com/ycxew6zn

🚨Amidst all the uncertainty at NIH Welcome Leap just launched an important new $50M program in Women’s Health👩🏻‍🔬🧠 CARE focuses on the link between Alzheimer’s and perimenopausal hormonal changes wellcomeleap.org/care/ Note: full indirects! Please share widely to support women’s health 🙏🏼

Neuroscientists - your society has a call to action for you and a page for tracking action alerts. It's built to take your location & give you specific support on what to say and who to say it to. www.sfn.org/Advocacy/Adv...

So pleased to see Anne Churchland be honored with the Pradel Research Award! urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=htt...

I'm delighted to share this special issue on scientific histories of hippocampal research in the journal Hippocampus - lots of interesting stories and a great resource for trainees. Huge thanks to Mike Hasselmo and Lynn Nadel for their vision and leadership! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/toc/10.1...

Klingenstein Fellowship Awards in Neuroscience applications are open! This is an excellent opportunity for early career investigators in neuro. Learn more at klingenstein.org/esther-a-jos... APPLICATION ARE DUE FEBRUARY 1, 2025
