Gut wrenching essay about trainees by Daphna Shohamy (Director of Columbia's Zuckerman Neuroscience Institute). "let’s be clear: It isn’t institutions that are being punished. It’s the researchers who are the future of science in this country ..." 💔 www.statnews.com/2025/05/07/u...

And it's worth "plumbing" (pun intended) the depth of our minds! #sans2025 @kevinochsner.bsky.social

The Social Learning and Decisions lab is represented at #SANS2025. Come check out our posters from two amazing first-year graduate students!

Great news: NIH postbac program is recruiting again! If your grad school plans were affected by program cutbacks or admissions freezes this year I highly encourage you to apply, this could be a perfect opportunity. Please repost. www.training.nih.gov/research-tra...

The crush of new grant cancellations hasn't let up. If your grant was terminated (or your app was pulled) please use this Google Form👇 to submit details for tracking purposes. Multiple advocacy efforts are moving forward, but we must must must know more about what grants were cancelled and why.

Upon learning that yesterday would be my last day as a program officer at the National Science Foundation, I shared this parting message with my colleagues. The next few months will be frenetic and stressful for them. Here are some things that you can do to help them with the mission ahead. (1)

🚨This should be amplified!! Study sections and council meetings are still being cancelled despite the court order unblocking NIH freezes, effectively halting any new research grant from being funded: www.thetransmitter.org/funding/fede...

Over the past few weeks, science funding in the U.S. has become shrouded in uncertainty. Ten trainees with diversity-based funding share how the changes are affecting their research and career plans. By @avaskham.bsky.social @claudia-lopez.bsky.social @callimcflurry.bsky.social bit.ly/42Wifxr

Welcome to the Bluesky account for Stand Up for Science 2025! Keep an eye on this space for updates, event information, and ways to get involved. We can't wait to see everyone #standupforscience2025 on March 7th, both in DC and locations nationwide! #scienceforall #sciencenotsilence

From reddit: a letter from a postdoc who survived the Bolsonaro years. This is helpful framing for how to science in this administration. 🧪 www.reddit.com/r/labrats/s/...

Devastating is an understatement. Please take action! This article has a template of what you can write to your representatives: fromthescienceclass.substack.com/p/biomedical...

🚨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.

🚨 Clinicians have noted for decades how planning & anxiety are linked. Yet, computational psychiatry thus far failed to show how. Here, I explain that we need to broaden how we model planning to reveal its *biases* in chronic anxiety. A 🧵 on the framework 1/n authors.elsevier.com/a/1kAJC4sIRv...

Exciting!!!

Come be our new colleague in Computational Psych/Cog Sci/Neuro at UMD Psychology. More details and apply here: ejobs.umd.edu/postings/120948 #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #compneurosky #psychjob #cpsy

A bit late on this, but our new paper is out in Nature Comms: www.nature.com/articles/s41.... In this study, we embrace the noisiness of large-scale online data to characterize heterogeneity in experiential vs observational learning strategies, and its potential relevance to psychopathology.

Crossing all my fingers that NIH takes this seriously, acts fast, and increases both postdoc salary minimums and grant budgets to cover those raises and general inflation! www.science.org/content/arti...

So I guess this is my intro to bsky, and with this comes our new lab website, thanks to amazing lab manager Xiaodi (Sara) Hu: sociallearninglab.wixsite.com/my-site We are also hoping to recruit a PhD student starting Fall 2024! #PsychSciSky #neuroskyence #AcademicSky #BehSciSky #compneuro #cpsy

Vote for our CNS Symposium on heterogeneity in Autism Spectrum Disorder. With the dream team @aniladmello.bsky.social @carocharp.bsky.social and Gabriela Rosenblau! #AcademicSky #PsychSciSky #CogSci #neuroskyence #WomenInSTEM
