Excited for our new study to come out that suggest that clinical genetic testing should perhaps be considered as part of the standard diagnostic evaluation for schizophrenia.

Circulate this widely! We need to know which NIH grants have been terminated. It goes beyond the list that HHS has released. Send to every scientist you know. @scott-delaney.bsky.social @noamross.net

1/7 Our paper on individual variability in decision-making is finally out in @nature.com! Inspired by the classic work by Mante and Sussillo, we trained many rats to solve context-dependent decision-making, and we found that different brains use different neural mechanisms to solve the same task!

I was happy to #standupforscience2025 yesterday. And of course, I have been thinking about things I didn't have a chance to say. Like because of the chaos at NIH (and the freezing of funding), how my team has been waiting for NOAs for two non-competing renewals since mid-January. 1/

What an incredible turnout to #standupforscience in Los Angeles today!! So proud 💪🌎🧬 @katiekarlsgodt.bsky.social @yuenhuo.bsky.social @darbysaxbe.bsky.social @standupforscience.bsky.social

Seattle showed up to #standupforscience today. It has been really lonely in science lately. We've been facing flurries of changes, cuts, censorship, and all kinds of bad news and rumors of worse. And no clue what to do with all of it. 1/2

Amazing to see so many scientists AND citizens #StandupforScience in Seattle!!

Will you be standing up for science tomorrow? If there isn’t an official rally near you, join the nationwide campus and workplace walkout at 12:00 PM local time on March 7th. Learn more here: standupforscience2025.org/local-event-... @standupforscience.bsky.social

STAND UP FOR SCIENCE SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT! ☀️ Dr. Francis Collins will be speaking at Stand Up for Science in D.C. on March 7th! More speaker announcements coming soon, stay tuned! 👀☀️

“It’s extremely alarming that grants that have been vetted by the scientific community and deemed important and impactful to understand the world are now being cancelled because of political ideology,” says @lkfazio.bsky.social. “This is direct censorship of scientific research.”

It's nearly 5am and Republicans just rammed through their pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint. In order to pass massive tax giveaways for billionaires, they're going to defund Medicaid, slash veterans benefits, & force kids to go hungry. Make sure everyone knows it.

🏠📉 New research in @jama.com (JAMA Network Open) highlights the impact of housing instability on children's mental health. We explored how stress about eviction or housing loss affects child depression, anxiety, ADHD, & behavioral problems. #HousingInstability jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... /1

Welcome to the Bluesky account for Stand Up for Science 2025! Keep an eye on this space for updates, event information, and ways to get involved. We can't wait to see everyone #standupforscience2025 on March 7th, both in DC and locations nationwide! #scienceforall #sciencenotsilence

Someone at the American Bar Association ate their Wheaties this morning.

If you are on a study section that will not be reviewing diversity fellowships but will be reviewing "regular" fellowships, your next move is clear. Do not participate in the review unless all submissions can be reviewed together. Reclassify diversity grants as "regular" grants & review them all

Get in Dorks, we are going protesting. STAND UP FOR SCIENCE. MARCH 7th 12-4pm. DC AND YOUR STATE CAPITALS. More information to come.

Can’t believe I’m typing this but… FUCK IT IM PLANNING A STAND UP FOR SCIENCE PROTEST IN DC. If you want to be involved, be dm me. I’m nervous, I’ve never done this before, but we gotta be the change we want to see in the world.

This leads to the very troubling question. Did the acting NIH director approve this to be sent out? (Bad) or Was this sent out without his knowledge or against his recommendation? (Worse) /fin

"Indirect costs" just means paying the full cost of the research. That's it. Some costs are for one project, like lab equipment. Some are shared by many, like buildings and utilities. Grants that don't pay shared costs are a net negative. The fact that Harvard used to turn them down drives that home
