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. 👇👇

Honored to receive the @pennstateuniv.bsky.social Nutrition and Dietetics Outstanding Alumni Award. I got my own Nittany Lion! It was a great short trip and I got to see some of my favorite people, including @katkellerlab.bsky.social #WeAre Also, TSA was not a fan of my Nittany Lion Statue 😂

chatgpt has fully broken-through to every facet of the corporate environment. I'm spending a not-insignificant amount of my time every week now explaining to people that just because chatgpt told you that something was possible doesn't mean that it a) is or b) even exists

There are days in life that shake you. I’m shattered 💔 to share that I just found out that the US Government terminated my 2024 NIH Director’s Early Independence Award (~$2 million), threatening my long-promised assistant professor job at Columbia University & academic career... 1/🧵

Just got notice that my first senior author paper was accepted!! 🥳 celebrating the small wins these day. Paper coming to your desk soon!

From an NIH source re. grant terminations "These searches are pulling in things based on 'other support' sections and biosketches, so science may be held up just because someone mentions that they serve on a DEIA committee, or has a completely different grant that uses a 'problematic' word. (cont)

Might save a life.

UNC-CH is searching for a new Chair of Psychiatry. Please share. www.nejmcareercenter.org/job/863298/c...

The National Cancer Institute (part of NIH) released new guidelines for "controversial, high-profile or sensitive" keywords that require "review prior to publication" if included in a product or materials. Keywords include abortion, obesity, and peanut allergies.

Thinking about naming the lab “The FAFO Lab” That’s, food, appetite, and functional outcomes …. 😂

Science is still cool! So, come hang out with some hip foodies and make new friends at the Annual Meeting of the Society for the Study of Ingestive Behavior July 28–Aug 1 in Oxford, UK. Submit your abstract by Mar 14 and register by Jun 18. #SSIB2025! #science Details: www.ssib.org/2025/

I created a brief spreadsheet of reductions I've heard of so far. Any additions you know of (especially if you have the links/receipts) would be great: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Almost all grant-review meetings under Trump 2.0 remain suspended at the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), preventing the world’s largest public funder of biomedical research from spending much of its US$47 billion annual budget. https://go.nature.com/4gM6oW4

Hearing on NIH indirect cost cuts today (2/21) at 10am (EST). Judge Angel Kelley of U.S. District Court in Boston — Courtroom 8. Register for hearing audio here👇🏻 forms.mad.uscourts.gov/courtlist.html

There are currently three open faculty positions (all levels) in my department (Psychology) Oslo is a lovely city, modestly sized (600k) but a capital, surrounded by forest and the fjord We're also a stable democracy with high support of and trust in science www.sv.uio.no/english/abou...

I lost my job at the National Science Foundation yesterday, along with 167 of my colleagues, including some dear friends. This was the best job I've ever had, and I thought it would be my last. The PI community has been sympathetic and supportive, without exception. I will miss working for you.

Yesterday was a good day. My Y3 finally came in and we got very minor revisions on a manuscript. Celebrating the small wins right now and the ability to stay afloat for a little longer

Especially for talents who have been fired by the U.S. NIH or other universities/institutes.

It’s been buried in all the news today, but every scientist in the US should pay attention to this: Mike Lauer went out on a limb for us all, sending out a memo saying institutes should start awarding grants. And it looks like Trump/Musk fired him for that. 🧪

I just left work 😭 not b/c today was particularly bad, well, we know it’s been a 🎢 since Jan, but b/c a group of parents were outside our hospital in 55 degrees & ☔️ asking us to protect trans youth. & many are 🤐 in fear of what is. I’ve always used my voice but not sure what to do. I feel helpless.

In case folks are interested in contacting their congresspeople about the NIH indirect cuts with some estimates of what they would mean for institutions in their state, here are some estimates based on published F&A rates and funding ... let me know if you want a particular state

Ingestive / obesity journal club will meet this Friday from 9AM-10AM PST. We will discuss a paper on metabolic healthy unhealthy obesity. JC is drop in format: come once or when you can. Email/DM for zoom link and article #obesityresearch #ingestivebehavior #eatingbehavior #science

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

I'm old enough to remember when Super Bowl ads got to focus on soda and chips instead of desperately trying to convince Americans that basic human kindness is still a thing.

CV format ❓: do you prefer publications separated by year to showcase yearly productivity? Yes or no ? #academicsky #phdsky #edusky #academia #phdlife

I was searching Google drive for something and “grad school application” folder popped up. In there was an excel spreadsheet with all the PIs/programs that I wanted to work with. Now, some are my colleagues and friends. Here is the list 🧵 #academicsky

NINDS just launched a $50K prize competition for early-career scientists championing research rigor beyond their normal duties. Do you organize workshops, journal clubs, or do work to try and shift culture? This could be you. www.challenge.gov?challenge=ni...

How the year ended and started. Let’s go 2025

Finished off the year with the first Adise Lab holiday party. Looking forward to many more

I promised my undergrad class that we could have a potluck for our last session tonight. Life has been hard — too many deadlines this week and I’m struggling. Help me out and tell me a good and easy VEG/VEGAN potluck dish that I can make quickly!!!

The next ingestive behavior/obesity journal club will meet on Dec 13. We will discuss a paper looking at effort and high fat food in mice. Reach out for the paper/link and share with others who may be interested. This JC is drop in format: come once, come when you can.

I realized that being a reviewer has actually made me a better writer. Semi-polite-plug as an editor to not ignore my review requests 😂

As we learn to navigate through this new era, where y’all getting your news from so that we can have a finger on the pulse of what may be of research interest to the new admin? Trying to stay in the game and not up to date on daily conspiracy theories

The basic principle is that reviewers are tired, they're rushed, they're reading your and 10 other grants on top of their normal workload. Anything you can do to make it easy for them will help. Here's a list of my suggestions.

Dear mentees, I’ve come to the realization that we are all just humans, trying to figure it out: how to be CEOs, therapists, and scientists. We make mistakes. There is no handbook. We ask for help when we need it but no one has all the answers. I’m learning to be less judgmental and have humility.
