NEW: Starting May 5, NSF will implement an across-the-board 15% indirect cost rate (mirroring policies at DOE, NIH) Also, NSF staff expect 341 additional terminations today, bringing the total number of terminations to ~1,380.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

A nice little summary of our new paper out in PNAS. link.growkudos.com/1q2uuiaw16o

First semester at UGA was a blast! I’m incredibly lucky to have had the pleasure of teaching and getting to know this amazing group of students. Happy holidays and #GoDawgs!

Excited to share our novel white matter ICN template and preprint from 100K+ fMRI scans, revealing 97 ICNs and novel WM-GM insights. Preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.1... @vcalhoun.bsky.social

We're excited to release new versions of our BIDS-Apps for processing and analyzing #dmri data, QSIPrep and QSIRecon! Our team has been working hard to prepare these pipelines to process infant data and bring them in line with the @nipreps.bsky.social ecosystem. #neuroimaging #nipreps #bids 1/10

VertexWiseR: A package for simplified vertex-wise analyses of whole-brain and hippocampal surfaces in R direct.mit.edu/imag/article... (I'm selfishly interested in this... so posting it here as a personal reminder... also it looks cool for #Freesurfer analyses in R)

Our paper finally appeared on modelling the effect of age on the BOLD fMRI response, one implication of which is that many age effects previously reported may be vascular rather than neural… onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

📣 🧠 I’m recruiting 1-2 PhD students interested in disadvantage-related brain development & neuro-immune crosstalk to join my new lab at the University of Georgia. Application deadline is December 1st. Please feel free to contact me with any questions! #neuroskyence #psychscisky #academicsky

📣Excited to announce our new manuscript published in Translational Psychiatry investigating socioeconomic disadvantage & maternal inflammatory biomarkers during pregnancy in relation to neonatal white matter microstructure 🧠 #academicSky #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky www.nature.com/articles/s41...

WashU Neuroprep is now accepting applications! this 2yr postbacc program is geared toward individuals who had limited opportunity for research experience as undergrads to prepare for graduate training in neuroscience. apps due 2/16/24! neuroprep.wustl.edu

New paper+package combination for linear estimation with nonlinear inference (LENI) - methods to obtain the results of a nonlinear model without the hassle of nonlinear estimation. Presented this at Flux this fall and really excited to see it out! osf.io/preprints/ps... github.com/E-M-McCormic...

New preprint 🚨🧠 from Michael Myers, Alyssa Labonte, Chad Sylvester & team at WashU! Functional parcellation of the neonatal brain, developed from a dataset of resting-state fMRI from 261 neonates #neuroskyence www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🚨We have a new perspective out today in @natureclimate called “Leveraging neuroscience for climate change research” shorturl.at/dyN35 where we call on #Neuroskyence researchers to help combat #climatechange 🧠

Just got my K99/R00 impact score. I've officially entered level 2 of the waiting game. 😅

Many researchers in cognitive neuroscience and deep learning seem to assume that inference in the brain is hierarchical.  Our new Nature Reviews Neuroscience paper questions this assumption and proposes the shallow brain hypothesis. #neuroskyence #brain www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Great goal for all of us!

I’m accepting a grad student to work in my lab on LGBTQ health and development research! Very excited to see the Queer Development Lab grow 🌈 Interested applicants can attend our virtual Open House on November 7 @ 6:30pmET.

Looking for a funded postdoctoral position in the neuroscience of learning, affect, & pain? Join my lab at NIH Intramural! You'll lead multimodal projects in an environment full of experts in methods, clinical science, & basic science. Pls spread the word. www.nccih.nih.gov/about/jobs/p...

Hi! I’m Ashley Sanders, a postdoc at #WashU. I study the impacts of childhood socioeconomic and environmental disadvantage on brain development. Looking forward to learning and connecting with other developmental neuroscience researchers! #HiSciSky
