made a mini-game for events: find pairs of matching brains, the Allen mouse brain & a macaque brain are smuggled in to make it easier. meanwhile, we can talk about brain structure, cortical folding, twins, individual differences, & etc. 🙂💗🧠

I should be in study section right now talking about cool science but it’s cancelled due to the government shutdown. It sucks as a reviewer, but it sucks more for all the applicants who worked so hard on their grants- spending long hours crafting ideas. Relying on this to keep their labs going. 1/

I’m hiring at all levels and accepting graduate students through Psychology and the Graduate Program in Neuroscience. Reach out if you’re interested in joining a collaborative, fun, creative, and supportive team in beautiful Vancouver! 🏔️ ⛷️ 🏖️ 🌆

Come be my colleague! Lots of exciting science, fantastic students and supportive colleagues. Emory University Biology Department tenure-track assistant professor position in neuroscience. share.google/945Jko4W1MTA.... Please feel free to retweet and share widely.

My department at Emory is a hiring a tenure-track neuroscientist! Anyone who's talked to me in the last 4 years knows I cannot say enough good things about my dept and the neuroscience community here. My colleagues are so wonderfully supportive. Postdocs, please apply! apply.interfolio.com/174371

FIGHT FOR SCIENCE RALLY ✊🌏 ⏰ WHEN: October 17th, 2025 📍WHERE: 200 Independence Ave SW, Washington DC! RSVP to JOIN THE FIGHT IRL: zurl.co/LayiM ‼️ 📲 Join us Virtually!: zurl.co/Um47l

Neuroscientists! This is a great opportunity to recognize excellent colleagues for a prize and linked to give a talk at the FENS Forum in 2026! Nominate or apply directly! Deadline: Oct 29th! ALBA-Elsevier Award for Neuroscience - @network-alba.bsky.social

Every faculty job solicitation in the biomedical sciences should come with a link to a robust University policy on dealing with current and anticipated future NIH / NSF etc funding issues. Including removal of any hint of a major award being required for tenure.

Our current NIH director complaining about carrying papers in 2020. The supreme court just said it's ok for ICE to ask for your papers.

Ishaan and Violet are science superstars 🤩 I was so impressed with them all summer! I look forward to hearing about all the wonderful things they will accomplish in the future.

It's #FluorescenceFriday, so I wanna show off the gorgeous RNAscope images from our recently published paper on the mineralocorticoid receptor in area CA2 of the hippocampus 🤩🧠🌀 full paper here --> rdcu.be/evGGh

Understanding how MR makes CA2 weird...using spatial transcriptomics! 🧠🧬 Huge thank you to Serena and Basak for getting this across the finish line - I'm so happy this work is published! #keepCA2weird @commsbio.nature.com

Not feeding into the Bluesky debate but I would love to see more academics sharing papers on here. Revive the ‘ol “here’s a thread about this paper” thing. I think it’s good for the information ecosystem.

Job is up, consider joining us! psu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/PSU_St...

When invited to review a manuscript, I decline. Then I am asked why I am declining. Seems like personal information and I need to add this meme.

Have recent changes led to uncertainty in your future scientific career? Wonder it's like in Australia? Good news! Monash's is seeking to hire talented EMCRs from other countries. Come join a wonderful community of brain mappers & modellers! www.monash.edu/research/eme...

US science is being taken apart brick by brick.

🚨Wee ooh wee ooh 🚨 Less than one week to get these shirts guaranteed in your size and color choice! @franzanth.bsky.social designed ‘em! They support science communication work here in Philly! Screen printed on 100% cotton next level tees. Get ‘em Squidfacts.bigcartel.com RTs super appreciated!

My lab is hiring 2 postdocs on an NIH-funded grant characterizing molecular & cellular changes in the human brain across menopausal transition. Other neuroepigenomics projects are also available. We plan to hire a wet lab scientist and a bioinformatician. Please RT! kundakoviclab.com More info 👇

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

Tis the day for opinion pieces! This one in eLife by my favorite person who is not on bluesky, Nick Gilpin at LSU. Here he lays out why NIH is a great investment for taxpayers. elifesciences.org/articles/106...

If you are on the editorial board of a journal and they don't have an SABV policy, try to make them implement one. If you are a peer reviewer, demand it when you review papers and grants. The NIH is ceding its leadership, the community has to step up.

Over 10 years after its founding, the BRAIN Initiative program has led to incredible leaps in our understanding of the brain. Look back at its biggest accomplishments: www.braininitiative.org/achievements... #BrainAwarenessWeek #studyBRAIN #Neuroskyence

🧠 International Brain Awareness Week is being celebrated these days, and it is a good opportunity to share again a series of articles on neuroscience research and other resources from Knowable Magazine on these topics. You can find everything at this link: knowmag.org/4bQY2LS

Breaking news: Thousands of researchers and their supporters, including recently fired federal workers, have gathered across the U.S. in response to layoffs and funding cuts ordered by the Trump administration. scim.ag/41zlPv4

Tomorrow, I'm joining thousands of Americans marching to defend scientific research. Recklessly cutting science funding puts our country's health, economy, reputation, and environment at risk. @standupforscience.bsky.social #StandUpForScience (1/2)

💯 I have news for a lot of people about where those tech companies and news forecasts get their data (they may be using their own expertise/algorithms to interpret the data and thus make predictions, but you can't interpret data that doesn't exist)

YOUR FAVORITE WEATHER APP IS JUST A PRETTY DISPLAY OF NOAA DATA Ppl seem to think that "NOAA weather forecasts" means climate-, boat-, or "in addition to my app"-weather. But the weather forecasts *we all use* are made from the NOAA data *we all paid for* Make that part clear when you ⬇️
