I'm at the meeting today, prreparing to leavemy public comment on the document.

Welcome Meiyan!

Heading out now to #standupforscience

How do brains make decisions and why does this matter for human health? @johnfoxe.bsky.social and I discuss this here on the latest episode of his "Neuroscience Perspectives" podcast. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UeC...

Wanna better understand what society has gained from research? This website crowd-sources societal benefits that stem from US government-funded research publicusaresearchbenefits.com

I'm excited to be part of this new call for partners to work with us. Please apply!

My lab members and I were part of this collaboration and contributed many insertions to the brainwide map. It was exciting to be part of a 21-lab team working together to generate such extensive measurements during a visual decision-making task. All data is public so more discoveries will follow!

The federal government’s $1B dollar demand is designed for one purpose and one purpose only: to devastate @UCLA and its critical mission. #StandUpForUC to defend America’s greatest public university system and support this life-saving work. ucal.us/standupforuc

A tough day for UCLA. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Saddened by this article about the US Brain Drain. Nice to see @ardemp.bskyverified.social speak in this issue. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/u...

The recent criticisms on scientific reproducibility hit home with me. I take reproducibility seriously and our recent study uncovered features of ephys studies that enhance it: elifesciences.org/articles/100.... Spoiler alert: standardized instrumentation, open source analysis tools & QC help.

Check out this video from Tom Charmichael, the Chair of Neurology here at UCLA. He explains indirect costs using his lab as an example. Feel free to share broadly! www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJYo...

Oh no. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/08/u...

This week was a lot. Today I’m gonna turn off all devices today and curl up with a book. Thanks to Xiao Jing Wang for spending the time to write this text. www.routledge.com/Theoretical-...

I’m at #standupforscience at UCSD today- a great crowd!

Hope you are all hanging in there. Here’s our science update for today youtu.be/fLQTa-IgMcM?...

Here is our (unplanned) science update for today: how to access nih resources (e.g., era commons) if you are having trouble today: www.youtube.com/shorts/TCoK8...

There is a workaround for accessing era commons! See below and thanks @raphaelwimmer.bsky.social . You might have to google what is needed for your particular OS but this got us through.

Here’s our update for today. We explain in more detail why it has been hard for outsiders (like us!) to understand what’s happening at NIH and also talk about the layoffs. Stay well folks. youtu.be/AYEfY5HbPqQ?...

Hi everyone. Here’s our science update for today. Definitely some progress on NIH study sections but we have a loooong way to go. Also, find out how you can #standupforscience youtu.be/2CDInlMMhnE?...

Here’s our update for today about what’s happening with the NIH funding and study sections. There are some updates today that are a little bit positive so let’s not give up hope folks. Please leave comments either here or on YouTube letting me know what you think. youtu.be/d-lYna4Rl9A?...

I’ve been overwhelmed trying to keep up with everything that’s happening at the NIH. I wondered if others were likewise overwhelmed so I am going to start regularly posting videos with what I know. Pls feel free to leave suggestions and comments. youtu.be/MvgNHWSJtH0

Hi all- I was asked by my department to teach students how to use social media for science. However, the landscape has changed so much I am unsure what to say. Any suggestions for using this platform or others?
