HAPPY 75th, NSF! We’re celebrating this milestone by highlighting some of NSF’s most transformative accomplishments—innovations that have shaped our world and continue to drive progress in health, technology, the environment, and beyond. Read on 🧵(1/11):

How bad will it be? Catastrophic. Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come. But, this is the WH's *proposed* budget. Speak up now before it is too late. (inflation adjusted $-s below)

Here’s how Trump’s war on science is going. NSF funding is at the lowest level in decades. We’ll lose knowledge, generations of scientists, and US competitiveness. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Despite everything going on, I may have funds to hire a postdoc this year 😬🤞🧑‍🔬 Open to a wide variety of possible projects in social and cognitive neuroscience. Get in touch if you are interested! Reposts appreciated.

🚨 New Paper 🚨 Excited to share our work investigating how prenatal descriptions of babies relate to prenatal care visits AND how these descriptions relate to later child outcomes. With @klhumphreys.bsky.social a 🧵

I’m so excited to be at #SRCD25! I’m presenting Friday from 11:30am-1pm (209AB) in the symposium “Methodological Insights for Analyzing Children’s Diverse Language Environments and Development with Daylong Audio Recordings” & have a poster on Fri from 4:40-5:40pm (#206) w/ @klhumphreys.bsky.social!

In the past month 4 trainees in my lab lost: NIH diversity supplement, MARC, & STEP-Up funding. NSF SBE meeting (incl. ECRs) indefinitely postponed. Pipeline cuts disproportionately affect underrepresented scholars. Individual lives & our collective future impacted. #ScienceMatters

Ok so yeah, this has quickly become the #1 misunderstanding about the canceled grants the grants are not “subsidies” or “entitlements” to Harvard or Princeton or whatever they aren’t going into universities’ endowments they are competitive contracts won by these universities to do research

Senator Cory Booker on the economic value of the NIH and what we stand to lose with the Trump administration destroying scientific research

Just found out NIH has officially canceled our grant, a longitudinal study of Alzheimer's disease in Black Americans. I cannot even put into words how angry I am. The truth is they are canceling it because it has Black in the title. That's it, there is no other reason to do this.

I just completed this survey and it was so validating to write out my thoughts. I'll admit that I scrolled past the last time I saw the link so, if that happened to you, here's the link again below.

not paying indirect costs for research is like only paying the players in the Super Bowl. can't have a Super Bowl without coaches, referees, security, janitors, announcers, stadium staff, and a stadium - and you can't have research without supporting people and facilities

Kari Kretch, John Franchak, and their son lost everything in one of the fires in So Cal. If you can, please consider supporting them by donating or sharing the link. Every bit of support makes a difference for their rebuilding. gofund.me/4ac26174

Happy New Year!! So thrilled to share this preprint (Kara Weisman, Lucy King, and I worked on this for 8+ yrs): "Beliefs about the development of mental life" Read to find an interesting story on how people perceive different domains of capacities changing from birth to age 5 yrs. osf.io/kq4j7

Anyone here familiar with T32 applications? What's the typical PI effort % (presumably cost-shared) and institutional support provided for managing these training grants? Looking for examples of admin support structures that work. #NIHfunding

Data on this is likely deliberately hard to find, but anecdata from my spouse (pain medicine specialist) is that a large number of his patients are having their pre-authorizations denied and are missing out on procedures he recommends to treat chronic pain. wapo.st/3OXSB36

It’s painful not being able to connect those seeking therapy to therapists covered via insurance. Propublica helps explain how health insurance companies undermine the process for profits. projects.propublica.org/why-i-left-t...

Do you need educational and psychological item response data to do your research? The IRW has 600 item response datasets (more coming!), distributed in a standardized format and ready for analysis.

“NIH produces an astounding return on investment to the American taxpayer. In Fiscal Year 2022, NIH research funding supported 568,585 jobs and generated $96.84 billion in economic activity — that’s $2.64 of economic activity for every $1 of research funding.” www.researchamerica.org/2023-oped-us...

I was VERY skeptical of GLP1 drugs as a treatment for alcohol use disorder, but looks like that might be real (there is now solid evidence for T2D, CAD & obesity, observational for AUD, phase-2 for Parkinson’s). This being observational (but within person) ideally there would be trials next…

Trying to be generous, but a view from Trump supporter land is that cruelty toward others is minimally “acceptable” and potentially more feature than bug. Maybe obvious, but I hoped that it was mostly a misguided belief that grocery costs were within the president’s control.

Anyone have an idea on the paylines for T32s apps to NIMH? No percentile provided and I don't see anything published online....

Hi again bsky! Hoping this attempt sticks — glad to see new people here too! I’m planning to post some recent work from my lab (all led by trainees who hopefully will join here soon)!

Hellooo Bluesky! I am trying to grow my tiny lab at Vanderbilt and am recruiting 1-2 postdocs who will help me tackle addiction heterogeneity. Please reach out if interested! All reposts are appreciated! www.vanderbilt.edu/postdoc/posi...

I’ve been reading “On the Night you were Born” to my kids for nearly 9 years now and still can’t figure out what this brown and black object is. Anyone else know?

Established PIs, can you share your policies about lab work around the holidays? Does is vary by job type/funding source/whether members are international? Is there a max length away or staggered coverage for participant sessions? Our participants are born 365d/yr so can't allow all to work remote.

Hey, be safe out there tonight. Don’t drink and drive, and don’t drive if you don’t have to, because other people will drink & drive. Don’t mix guns and alcohol. Or guns & kids. Don’t shoot into the sky. If you’re feeling depressed and need support, text or call 988 in the US. You’re not alone.
