The U.S. government has lost more than 10,000 STEM Ph.D.s since Trump took office. A Science analysis reveals how many were fired, retired, or quit across 14 agencies. Read more: https://scim.ag/4boPkq8

Back in the lab and reflecting on all of the amazing science at last week’s Alcohol and the Nervous System GRS and GRC! So excited to co-chair the 2028 GRS with @katiegbry.bsky.social!

UAB is recruiting neuroscience faculty at two different levels - come join our vibrant neuroscience community!

Proud to have our work on tau, metabolism, and sleep highlighted by the University of Kentucky! Thanks again to the NIH, CART Fund, and @brightfocus.bsky.social for supporting our work. uknow.uky.edu/research/uk-...

We're back with another run down of what's new #ThisWeekInNPP See below for the latest on continuous theta burst stimulation, transcriptional signatures from a mouse model of TRD, and a precision pharmacotherapy for late-life depression 👇 #TWiNPP

Manuscript peer review is not 1) journal club 2) dissertation committee meeting 3) zero sum grant award 4) mortal kombat

Some shit is about to go down with NIH study sections, friends. Keep your eyes peeled for change that may affect your grant submissions.

Here are the Alcohol GRC awardees-Congrats!

But Joao, aren’t you afraid of being scooped? No. It’s an ultra-rare childhood epilepsy. If you scoop me and the kids get help from it, I will help you scoop me and then move on.

I can highly recommend the NIH Outstanding Scholar in Neuroscience Award Program (nice backronym for OSNAP)! Need to be 2 years before/after PhD, due March 23. Great opportunity to visit and present at NIH and meet some amazing colleagues. www.nimh.nih.gov/research/res...

Nice article on how alcohol impacts your body. I spoke to author about alcohol and brain. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/w...

Artic blast? Not at NPP! As always, our #TWiNPP lineup is hot hot hot 🔥 See below for what's cool #ThisWeekInNPP 🥶⤵️

Very happy to share a new paper in @npp-journal.bsky.social I thought I knew what would predict escalation of cocaine use. Well, I was wrong. After tracking behavior daily for weeks, the answer turned out to be the opposite of my prediction, and it changed how I see addiction.

Thinking about whether you should promote your next research paper on X, Bluesky, or *Reddit*? Stop by @brittonrae.bsky.social’s poster #1 tonight at #ACNP2026 to learn about how these 3 platforms differ in terms of engagement and online attention driven by posts about DPN articles.

Can confirm the swag is cool!! Go check it out!!!! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

1. Visit @brittonrae.bsky.social's poster at #ACNP2026 2. Learn about @dpn-journal.bsky.social 3. Get very special swag

Hello #ACNP2026 attendees👋 Our Editorial Intern @brittonrae.bsky.social will present a poster highlighting DPN's social media initiatives and special projects. Stop by her poster in the advocacy affiliate section on Tues-Thurs to chat with Britton. First few visitors will get SWAG 😮😆!

If you are submitting an NIH grant in February, you will be required to use SciENcv to prepare you biosketch. IT IS MUCH WORSE THAN YOU CAN POSSIBLY IMAGINE. Set aside *at least* 4 hours just to transfer an existing an biosketch into SciENcv.

Excited to share our new GLP-1 receptor agonist study! Chronic semaglutide potentiates motivation for small food rewards and associated cues, but reduces intake when food is freely available—surprising twist! #GLP-1, #behavior #neuroscience #pharmacology 1/ 🔗 www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

🎉DPN is now indexed in PubMed Central🎉! This expands our accessibility and helps our research reach a global audience of clinicians, researchers & scholars. We’re deeply grateful to our editors, authors, and reviewers whose work made this possible. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov?term=npp-dig...

We're looking forward to telling you what we've been up to at #sfn25. Flagel Lab posters are all on Monday. Come say hi and speak to these amazing trainees about their research!

🎉 Congratulations to our Social Media Editor, Dr. Leah Mayo, on being named to Avenue Calgary’s Top 40 Under 40! Her research on stress, cannabinoids, psychedelics, and mental health continues to make an impact - in and beyond the lab. 🔗 www.avenuecalgary.com/top-40-under...

Its Halloween season 🎃 and since the world is hellfire, what better way to distract ourselves then with horror movies! The 2020s have already proven to be one of the best eras for horror ever. To fill your October with some viewing ideas, this is my list of the top 30 horror movies of the 2020s.

Fresh off the press! @selinsch.bsky.social discovered some really cool features of mouse frontal cortex pyramidal cells that co-vary with dopamine receptor expression. D3R+ cells appear very responsive to AP bursts, producing Ca transients across dendritic arbors. www.jneurosci.org/content/earl...

acnp.org/annual-meeti... Promising Targets at @acnporg.bsky.social ! 💊 This a great way to ensure your late breaking pharmacology - clinical trial unblinding, drug study or preclinical pharmacological study gets attention! Was a very hot session last year. 👏
