A very clear video of the societal impact of dismantling NIH and NSF. However, I would not be that US centered. These new breakthroughs may still happen, but the patents won’t be in the US, they will be own by China, EU or any other country, in some cases by scientists that were in the US…

Rajae’s latest work from our lab adds new light on the neuroendocrine mechanisms by which Kiss1 neurons control energy balance🚨

Meanwhile, life in our campus lately... www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/u...

TODAY!

play.rtve.es/pr/1001068/ a must watch series on climate action (in English and Spanish). Fantastic work.

Let’s get the word out about the importance of federal funding of curiosity -driven science We all have similar stories to share

This paper from the lab is finally out! doi.org/10.7554/eLif...

This is the way to do it.

Congrats to our lab member Rajae! Soon to start her own lab!

Drawing the mind, one neuron at a time: A 2022 book walks readers through the life and work of Santiago Ramón y Cajal, the Spaniard whom many consider the founder of modern #neuroscience. Check out the #ScienceBooks Review on #WorldBookDay: scim.ag/3RvHDmQ

While this stand on values and principles at Harvard is needed, it makes the freeze (or termination) of the $9B in federal funding more likely, with the consequences that that would have all of us doing science within the Harvard community. We can only hope for the best.

Here we go. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/31/u...

“If large numbers of academics working in the U.S. do decide to leave, Gold doubts other countries will be able to absorb them all. The end result, he warns, could be an exodus of talent from global science. “My biggest fear,” he says, is that “we’re going to lose a cohort of researchers.”” 🧪

On a request today to my PO for a status update for an R01 application that got a 6%ile in October: “We have no updates or guidance on pending applications/awards. We are awaiting further HHS guidance on how and when to proceed. We will notify you when the guidance is available.” How and when…

Our super talented VPs at PANS!

Time for the EU to increase funding for ERC grants and attract labs from the US. @erc.europa.eu

www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/... Research in the US as we know it today is seriously at risk. I know what brain drain means for a country, I’m a product of it, the same scenario in the US would take generations to recover.

I am excited to share our latest paper @Nature where we construct a hi-res spatial map of the human hypothalamus, the brain region central in appetite control. It is a collaboration between @IMS_MRL @Cambridge_Uni & @MPI_Metabolism www.nature.com/articles/s41...
