Incredible new altas of the developing human brain out now in @nature.com, funded by the NIH BRAIN Initiative!

Full speech here. Is...is that hope I'm feeling this morning? I'd forgotten what that feels like youtu.be/JC1h6rJQBvs?...

Super proud of the amazing coven my lab put together for the BCAS Halloween on Fri. Let's hope our spell to Protect NIH and Save Science starts working soon....🎃🧠👻

Annual lab pumpkin carving as fun as always🎃🎃😭🎃🎃

October highlights.... PHCO retreat featuring an impromptu science themed game of codenames, a talk by Sarah Mott, and poster by Mia Keller.

Nothing like a good cry over my morning coffee as Wei heads out 💔. The US is crazy to not do everything possible to keep and treasure people like her. I know she will do wonderful things where ever she lands - this is our loss

ATTN: Two faculty positions are available in my department (neuroscience) at the University of Minnesota. This is a general search with no topic focus. November 20th application deadline. Apply here: hr.umn.edu/jobs/Find-Job Assistant Prof job code: 364920 Associate/Full Prof job code: 364921

People outside of science think this is nothing that concerns them. "Oh, it's harder to get grants now? Big deal." But everyone deserves the rapid pace of advancements in science, medicine, and technology that our parents enjoyed. The Trump Administration's actions are taking that from everyone.

yes a million times yes

Why is Scott so mad at me? 🤣🤣🤣🎃🎃🎃

Very proud of Dr Tracy Bale’s @thebalelab.bsky.social induction into the National Academy of Medicine yesterday evening! A brilliant impactful scientist, a champion of women, and a tireless advocate for global neuroscience at @ibroorg.bsky.social! Congratulations!

🚨 New science alert! Our cross-species study, now in Nature Neuroscience, demonstrates psychedelics distort how we should interpret functional brain imaging. 👇🧵 nature.com/articles/s41... #Neuroscience #Psychedelics #BrainImaging

Excited to share recent collaborative work led by Hayley Thorpe published in Molecular Psychiatry: Genome-wide association studies of lifetime and frequency of cannabis use in 131,895 individuals www.nature.com/articles/s41...

My friend and colleague @nabarund.bsky.social !!!! www.npr.org/2025/10/08/n...

This is a fantastic program and a great opportunity 👇👇👇👇👇

This moment from our latest episode with science writer @edyong209.bsky.social is 🔥 We asked Ed — how do we talk up the benefits of science in the face of government cuts? He told us that's the wrong approach. 🧪 Listen wherever, or watch on Spotify 👇 open.spotify.com/episode/7Evh...

@deffinger.bsky.social and @melissaherman.bsky.social argue that, though many human psychedelic clinical trials are underway, preclinical studies remain our best bet to answer fundamental questions about the neurobiology of psychedelics. #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/psychedelics...

So excited for this piece by me and @deffinger.bsky.social to be out! It was inspired by science and discussion from many venues from @sfn.org to #GRCPsychedelics 🧠

Nothing has disappointed me more than watching institutions cave to ending programs they KNOW have an impact and bring in talented and qualified scientists from different backgrounds. Someday we will have to face what was done here and what we lost.

I would not be here without the programs (like PREP) and the mentors that cheered for me and helped me to understand the climate. Yes, I was smart, but when you come from places with almost no exposure to STEM careers, that’s just not enough.

We are in this odd climate where people are pretending no barriers exist to careers in science for some groups, but this conversation with 2 outstanding emerging scientists highlights that is just not true. youtube.com/watch?v=u850...

Interested in bridging the translatability gap between mice and humans, specifically with regard to psychedelics? Have I got an opportunity for you! Join us for an interactive and stimulating pre-meeting before #SfN2025. @theborislab.bsky.social @bita37.bsky.social @fredbarrettphd.bsky.social

The daughter of an English professor and a teacher, Ms. Vincent received a master’s in public health while battling addiction. That year she helped start the North Carolina Survivors Union, among the first organizations in the country to offer safety rails for addicts who were struggling to quit.

Don't make me tap the sign Large language models are slot machines that pay out in confidence, not information If the information is bad (it often is) no one cares But if the confidence was bad no one would use it 🤔 Luckily for the compulsive use companies want to promote, it's always confident

The Snell lab is seeking a Postbaccalaureate researcher and Postdoctoral associate to join our team. More details here: www.snelllab.org/contact-2

Science is still suffering from the current chaos, but in tough times community matters even more. Had a blast at the @bcas-outreach.bsky.social retreat today. Super proud of lab members Sarah Mott and Mia Keller who crushed their posters/talk 🧠✨🧠✨

Got my gorgeous #GRCPsychedelics soap today! Thank you @cllantz.bsky.social for this visual treat and scented stunner ✨✨✨

Nice paper from @superkash.bsky.social and team in @npp-journal.bsky.social comparing the contribution of CRF and GABA release from the same BNST neurons to ethanol self-administration. Tom you know I am obsessed with co-transmitter release this is really elegant work! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Sad but fun farewell to iconic lab member Sarah Magee. We'll miss you, please keep in touch and come visit anytime ♥️

No. Stand up. Never stop resisting hatred, lies, cruelty, assaults on truth and knowledge.

Yesterday's Supreme Court ruling means that HHS does not have to restore $783M in terminated NIH grants. I explore the misguided, implicit assumptions in the decision and the repercussions for America's science and research landscape in a new post. joshuasweitz.substack.com/p/restoring-...

Hi, are you an academic biology lab in the Boston area? I am a lab manager at a local biotech and I will be getting rid of a lot consumables in the near future (as will many of my colleagues, unfortunately). If you would be interested in free consumables, please reach out to me!
