We are thrilled to announce that the preliminary program for the 2026 GRC on the Frontal Cortex is now live! www.grc.org/frontal-cort... Registration is now open for both the GRC and our GRS, chaired by @albitc.bsky.social and @jorge-miranda.bsky.social!

Thank you to all who joined us for our first in-person event! 💜 We hope you left feeling inspired and empowered! #WomenInNeuroscience #StoriesOfWiN #SFN2025

Can confirm. I am okay and more motivated than ever to speak up. Nothing scares this administration more. Their power lies in our silence.

Why do brain networks vary? Do these differences shape behavior? If every 🧠 is unique, how can we detect common features of brain organization? @rodbraga.bsky.social and I dig in, in @annualreviews.bsky.social (ahead of print): go.illinois.edu/Gratton2025-... #neuroskyence #psychscisky #MedSky 🧵👇

The Trump administration and its allies have taken several steps to ensure that medical schools in the US dismantle all diversity, equity, and inclusion policies. It is patients who will be the victims of this, write @gavinyamey.bsky.social and @michaeldgreen.com www.bmj.com/content/391/...

Fewer than 1 in 10 of our Congressional races are considered competitive - in a country that's politically more or less 50-50. This is madness. And it doesn't have to be this way.

A huge shoutout to all the dedicated grants management specialists at the NIH who are working around the clock to push grants out before the Sep 30 deadline. And also to the POs responding to frantic emails. Not an easy job under the best of circumstances and right now it's the pits. Thank you!

1: This is a really cool study I was excited to be a part of! I was skeptical that brief unguided single session interventions could be effective in adults with depression as we had two studies in which we found minuscule effects vs weak controls (waiting), one in a large sample, N=828. I was wrong!

I missed the big Alaskan press conference

Remember how FOX had to pay almost a billion dollars for promoting lies? Cane sugar is 50% fructose. “High-fructose” corn syrup is 55% fructose. Unless your body is as stupid as Diana Atieh, it does “know what to do” with that 5% & there’s no different effect on the body at all. It’s still sugar.
