Very happy to share my first preprint from @oxexppsy.bsky.social @oxneuro.bsky.social ! We (me + co-first authors @lilweb.bsky.social @mirunarascu.bsky.social + PI @mkflugge.bsky.social + many others) used transcranial focused ultrasound stimulation (TUS/tFUS/LIFU) of the human amygdala ... (1/15)

2 bits of data from new Economist/YouGov poll..... 13% support for cutting research funding to universities. 24% among Republicans. Polling on this continues to be catastrophic for the Rs, suggests Dems should be learning far harder into standing up for science and our universities. 1/

Delighted to share our latest review in Nature Reviews Neuroscience! We examine the growing evidence that vascular dysfunction plays a key role in cognitive decline in ageing and dementia, and argue that preserving/restoring CBF should be central to future therapies. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Posting this 1967 Birmingham News editorial cartoon for all the people who don't realize that this is how MLK was viewed by a big chunk of white America.

“We urge you as NIH Director to restore grants delayed or terminated for political reasons so that life-saving science can continue.” Over one hundred NIH employees publish a letter of dissent to Trump administration attacks on medical research, the “Bethesda Declaration.” 🧪

South Florida meteorologist @johnmoralestv.bsky.social told his viewers live on air that he can no longer accurately predict hurricane season, due to federal government cuts.

The Trump regime’s Executive Order about “Gold Standard Science” distorts & weaponizes the principles of open science to intimidate scientists and reshape scientific production to support the political goals of Trumpism. Stand Up for Science is asking scientists to sign an open letter pushing back.

n=19k patient study finds that "current antidepressant use was associated with faster cognitive decline; furthermore, higher dispensed doses of SSRIs were associated with higher risk for severe dementia, fractures, and all-cause mortality." 🧪 Curious what AD scholars make of this paper.

Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic, according to an analysis by the chairs of a dozen of the boards.

Exclusive: Weeks after President Donald Trump’s administration ordered NIH to pull $250 million in biomedical research grants to Columbia University, the agency is freezing all remaining grant money owed to the university until further notice. scim.ag/4if5Rg1

Finally an article focused on these grant losses that scientists from underrepresented backgrounds EARNED, including my own grant (MOSAIC K99/R00). Generations of scientists from these groups will disappear. Will those with less to lose and from more privileged backgrounds advocate for us?

it’s honestly incredible that republicans in Congress, the Supreme Court, elite universities, and top law firms have all bought into this conception of Trump invincibility when he’s on the precipice of completely blowing up the economy and neutering his entire presidency

“We see real danger in this moment,” the letter states. “We hold diverse political beliefs, but we are united as researchers in wanting to protect independent scientific inquiry. We are sending this SOS to sound a clear warning: the nation’s scientific enterprise is being decimated.”

Breaking news:

Collecting my thoughts at the end of one of the worst days of my life... At NIH, > 1300 people were RIFed. These range all across the board from institute directors to low level administrative staff. Communication staff and procurement appear to be hardest hit as anticipated from the HHS plan 1/n
