The NSF GRFP is an amazing opportunity for students in the first two years of a PhD or those applying to a PhD right now. Below, check out our special episode with advice for both applicants and those who write letters of support!! 🧐 Please help us spread the word 📢

One of my all-time favorites is Dr. Huda Akil's story www.storiesofwin.org/profiles/202...

Reflecting on my journey with @mfranch.bsky.social, from how I chose my mentors and topics (excitement!), what inspired me to write a book (befuddlement) & then shift to mood research (opportunity). Also: how I interpret my own emotions (lean in). Thanks for having me, @storiesofwin.bsky.social!

This interview is an absolute delight!! Don't miss it. From how Dr. Rust got started in neuroscience to her recent research topic shifts and book! And if you haven't yet filled out this super short form about our first symposium please do: storiesofwin.org/win-symposiu...

Thanks to Nicole for the highlight!! 🥹 this has been such a rewarding a labor of love for the last 6 (!!) years with @cprofaci.bsky.social and @drnancypadilla.bsky.social and our whole team of amazing volunteers!!! Always grateful to hear that it’s reaching a wider audience and having some impact ❤️

I recommend the podcast. I was tickled that supermoms @evfedorenko.bsky.social & @lintianphd.bsky.social answered the Q "What are your hobbies?" the same. Paraphrased, "Hobbies? My life is so full! But that's OK - really!". www.storiesofwin.org/profiles/202... www.storiesofwin.org/profiles/202...

I’ll also share a few of my favorites. One was w/ @marlenecohen.bsky.social. I’ve known Marlene forever and I didn’t know about the dolphins! www.storiesofwin.org/profiles/202...

“Newer generations of scientists are pushing back against this dominant culture by cultivating a more modern one—one that encourages its members to share their unique stories and perspectives. Importantly, this new atmosphere also places value on all voices …” www.storiesofwin.org/our-mission

Let’s talk @storiesofwin.bsky.social. I’m flattered to be among their profiles (coming soon) & I want to elevate the team behind this terrific effort. /1 www.storiesofwin.org

Together with my colleague @freddysonj.bsky.social I wrote a review about how dopamine shapes our social world. Learn more here: bit.ly/4m7Hkwf @ufmbi.bsky.social

Big data won't solve anything if it's crappy data. 😒 We need to 1) train people to inspect datasets before using them and 2) ensure that openly shared data is good data. www.thetransmitter.org/spectrum/poo...

It’s finally happening 🥹 save the date for our very first in-person event!! Fill out our interest form if you’ll be in SD for #sfn25 or otherwise, or fill it out even if you won’t be able to make it - we’re also gathering interest in a virtual streaming option!! Stay tuned for more details to come!!

We are so thrilled for this first Stories of WiN in-person event. We are gaging interest of topics to discuss and the demand for an online streaming option. Please fill out the form if you want to provide feedback on this. If you are all in no matter what, just save the date!!

5-HT-mediated depolarization of OFC PV neurons occurs via activation of 2A, not 2C, receptors. And 2A antagonism works similarly in males and females www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A great interview of Eve, who is a remarkable person; a deep commitment to the pursuit of truth and scientific integrity, passion about mentorship of the next generation of scientists, and advice that's always direct, unabashed and insightful!

I really enjoyed listening to this interview from force-of-nature postdoc in my group @sashalfulton.bsky.social.

New Stories of WiN profile. Writing about Melissa's journey was so fun. I love hearing about scientists who are having a blast doing research and it's a gift to pass along their enthusiasm!

Another great conversation @storiesofwin.bsky.social 👏🏽😍 This podcast has become one of my main ways to learn about #interesting questions in #neuroscience 🤓. I also really like how most profiles are so different from each other and different people’s journeys are! #neuroscience

For the past 3 years, I've taught a course on Machine Learning for Climate Change to undergrads. At times, people have asked if the course lectures could be made available online. While I can't offer that, I have decided to start making "5 Minute Papers on AI for the Planet" videos. Hope its useful!

What does a 40% NIH budget cut mean for funding chances (now ~15%)? You might think “60% of the money left = 9% success” ❌ NOPE!!! 1-3% because 80% of the budget is for existing grants New science? Starved Ongoing grants? Slashed 😢 #FundingScienceSavesLives

New work from my lab looking at how dopamine neurons are affected by stress and males and females! This paper comes to you through three rounds of major building construction, a pandemic, six months that we could not get TTX, some animal facility shenanigans and now is here on your internet!

I wanted to show support for these brave public servants and to allow others, including the scientific community, to join me. In partnership with @standupforscience.bsky.social‬, we have a way for you to do that... www.standupforscience.net/bethesda-dec...

Out now in @nathumbehav.nature.com: Cuts to NIH funding will impact the economy and employment nationwide. We visualize these losses and advocate for a theory-driven approach to communicating local, self-relevant impact. w/ @joshuasweitz.bsky.social + SCIMaP team: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A very special 150th episode - I got to interview the one-and-only Eve Marder! Check it out to learn more about her life and science, and highly recommend listening to the interview to hear her many fabulous stories and her words of wisdom, my personal favorite being about how she found her ‘voice’

This interview with the neuroscience legend Dr Eve Marder is absolutely worth your time.

For those who don't know, NIH's IDeA program is a highly successful effort to jump-start & support biomedical research in the states where historically less research has been funded. Many are exactly the states that gave the President his strongest support. www.nigms.nih.gov/Research/DRC...

Letter from an alliance of scientific organizations asking congress to intervene in the federal cuts. "We request the immediate public release of these plans and robust public and expert consultation before any irreversible actions are taken." 🧪 unitedsciencealliance.org/united-call-...

I nominated a terrific, well-deserving Rising Star. You should too! (Nice video, @franciscorr25.bsky.social!)

While Trump crows about supporting mothers & kids, remember... -His FDA suspended one of its quality-control programs for milk -He’s trying to repeal limits on lead exposure and cancel grants that protect kids from chemicals -Car seat and stroller prices are up due to tariffs

Because we must build good things while we scream about the bad, I have started a "Data for Good" team @data-for-good-team.bsky.social that partners with organizations needing short-term data science help. We have three projects ongoing & will add more as our capacity grows. data-for-good-team.org

Are you an organization in need of data science help on a project for societal good? Are you a data scientist who wants to volunteer your time on good projects? Connect with us! data-for-good-team.org

This was me. Terminated from #NIMHBSC with no explanation. Complete gov interference in the #NIH intramural research program oversight and review - telling NIH researchers what science they can do and who can do it. Not a positive outlook for scientific discovery, innovation, or health. 👇👇
