Talk is done! Many thanks to Peter and Carolina for organizing such a stimulating session on glia and sleep! ✨ Also thanks to the insanely bright (blue) mood lighting in our room for being wake-promoting as I navigate a 12h time difference. ✈️ #WorldSleep2025 😴

Hey! That’s us! #WorldSleep2025

Just arrived in Singapore for #WorldSleep2025!! Also, Go Blue!!

🚨JOB ALERT🚨 Come join me and my supportive colleagues at The Ohio State University! The Department of Neuroscience 🧠 is hiring a tenure-track faculty member (open rank). We will begin reviewing applications on 9/14/25. Apply here👇, and please share! careers.wexnermedical.osu.edu/search/jobde...

One glazed, one dry rubbed; both smoky and juicy!!

First attempt at smoked pork loin. 🤞🤞

I have a first serious attempt to estimate the consequences of multi-year funding for July. For new R01s, the amount of additional expenditure was $135 M The number of additional R01s that could have been funded is 182 1/9

Congrats to Katelyn on a successful poster presentation sharing all the hard work she did during her summer internship! Happy to have had her as part of the team. 🧠😴🌟 And kudos to grad student Andrew for being such a great bench mentor for Katelyn!

🌮 Taco Tursday 🌮 to celebrate Katelyn’s final week in lab for her Explorations in Neuroscience Research High School Internship! 🧠

Grace Winstel is joining us for her first lab rotation with the Neuroscience Graduate Program. 🧠 She comes to us from Northern Kentucky University where she majored in Neuroscience & Psychological Science. Welcome, Grace!! 👋

A warm welcome to Katelyn! 👋 Katelyn is a talented high school student working in the lab this summer through the Explorations in Neuroscience Research Internship 🧠👩‍🔬 @osuwexmed.bsky.social. Excited to have her join the team!

Now on bioRxiv! Astrocytes in one brain region (cyan) communicate in expansive networks (magenta). Through tool development, tissue clearing, and many hours on our @zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social Z1, we now know these networks are repeatable across mice, plastic, and specific. doi.org/10.1101/2025...

I am instantly intrigued.... grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

Congrats to grad student Emily Stephens for making & presenting her very first poster!! 👏👏👏

Exciting talk by Diego Fernandez about the effects of light💡💡 on brain regions beyond the SCN #SLRCH2025

Rounding out the Basic Invited session, Ashley Ingiosi @ashleyingiosi.bsky.social describes the role of astrocytes 🧠 in 💤sleep-wake💤 regulation #SLRCH2025

Just landed in Boston for #SLRCH2025!! Grabbing a beer & a burger next to Fenway. ⚾️

Even though I lived in Washington for 12 years during my grad and postdoc training, it always felt temporary. But being back in Seattle feels a bit like home. 🌲🗻☕️ #SLEEP2025

First R01 submitted! 😅

I did a duet with an M&M that dropped across my tile floor to the intro beat of “Poison.”

Our Research Reveals How MECP2 Deficiency (associated with Rett Syndrome) Alters Sleep Patterns is out!. From our team at @wsunews.bsky.social Sleep and Performance Research Center, supported by @simonsfoundation.org Autism Research Initiative www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I’ve had this mug for over a decade and only recently clocked the actigram. ⏰

Welcome!!!! So excited to have you here! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Finally getting to do our rescheduled lab ❄️holiday❄️ outing! A night out Land Grant Brewing 🍻 for trivia. Team name: Fund NIH!

NIH just posted a Notice with the new Terms and Conditions... grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

🧪 Our Terminated NSF Grant Tracker is live 🧪 🔴 114 NSF grants listed so far 🔴 Cancelled grants focused on → Training scientists → Misinformation → AI → Climate change Credit to @noamross.net for all the work to build this & to all PIs who submitted their info. Link: airtable.com/appGKlSVeXni...

Ah yes. It’s Friday evening, isn’t it?

Many thanks to @sdissel.bsky.social for the opportunity to speak @umkc.bsky.social! Love catching up with my sleep fam. 😴

The lab had the the privilege of spending the afternoon with some very curious & engaged 3rd graders at Eastgate Elementary learning about microbiology 🦠🧫 & heart anatomy 🐑🫀!! #gwiscentralohio #STEMeducation

🚨 Not a drill: NSF GRFP results are NOW OUT!!!!! But...good news and bad news. 👍 I'm *thrilled* for the grad students for whom getting this award will be life-changing, esp now. 👎 # of fellowships went down by 51% (1000 this year vs. 2036 last year) See here: www.research.gov/grfp/Awardee...

In other bad news, PREP was officially terminated today. Our highly successful post-baccalaureate research education program, associated with almost 50 PhD or MD/PhD graduates and counting, was NIH-supported for 18 years. Future American scientists have been lost in this hostile government takeover.

Booker sets a record and then starts talking about funding for postdocs and grad students ♥️♥️♥️

✨ Good news! The abstract submission deadline for the 36th Annual Meeting has been EXTENDED! ✨ ⏳ New deadline: 22 April 2025 (Same for Early Bird registration!) 📢 Don’t miss this chance to share your research with a passionate audience! 🔗 Submit & register here: slrch2025.exordo.com/login

First attempt at pulled pork tastes like a success!

Our lab manager Caroline crafted this gorgeous astrocyte in her ceramics class! 🤩

After an incredible @sleepneuroscience.bsky.social workshop, we got to experience Holi!

After 24 h of travel, I’m excited to be in India 🌺 for the @embo.org @sleepneuroscience.bsky.social workshop!

Joined fellow scientists and science enthusiasts at #StandUpForScience in Ohio sporting my Science Rules shirt! 💪🧬🔬

Just look this adorable little blood vessel expertly constricting & dilating in a sleep/wake-dependent manner. 🥹 (16x speed)

Emily’s keeping us going with her delicious king cake!

Happy Pączki Day from the Ingiosi Lab!!!!! I made raspberry and custard filled pączki this year. 🤤

#Pubmed etc. seem to work again. DNS servers all over the world can resolve nih.gov subdomains again. (Please do not forget to remove any temporary workarounds from your hosts file). dnschecker.org#A/nih.gov

Just don't forget removing these lines again once the DNS problem is resolved. Otherwise, your browser will always look for PubMed at this specific IP address, even if the server has moved to a different IP address.

eRA Commons still inaccessible, but this does work! Was finally able to submit my grant reviews.

Try this 👇 to access era commons, and view the rest of the thread for access solutions to PubMed, etc.

For all of you who cannot access pubmed, here is a good alternative: europepmc.org

If you're in the US, considering Europe for your PhD, and you identify as a minority, I will chat with you and review any application documents you need 🧪

These grants survived intense scientific competition and scrutiny by expert peer scientists. It’s a sham to suggest they are unworthy. Pure bigotry to revoke them.

Yes! Grad students, ask your friendly institutional PI about using a reference manager. You don’t need to type up your bibliographies from scratch.
