(1/10) We’re excited to share our new preprint (doi.org/10.1101/2025...), which uncovers the spatiomolecular landscape of the human nucleus accumbens (NAc), by integrating snRNA-seq with Visium spatial transcriptomics across 10 control donors. 🧠 #NAcLIBD #snRNAseq #10xVisium

From yesterday: I talked with a bunch of NIH employees about what it's like inside the assault on government science, and how they feel about the potential for a shutdown. Spoiler, they're basically for it. Please subscribe, it's free!

The 2024 SSIB Special Edition of Physiology and Behavior is now available! Check it out: www.sciencedirect.com/special-issu... Over the next few days we will be highlighting articles from this issue. Let us know which one you want to see covered first.

Everybody who fell for the Harper's Letter or all the hand-wringing about "uncivil" students on the left, congratulations. You built this. You own this. And fuck you for being the useful idiots these fascists needed to launder their dismantling of academic freedom.

When Campus Reform and Turning point came after professors and created the professor watchlist, administrators didn't pay attention..Now they are being fired and attacked. Maybe institutions should have done more to protect academic freedom....

This point cannot be over-emphasized enough. When I left the FBI in June, I said that if the destruction stopped that day, it would take a decade to repair. Talking now to friends still there, I think I was being too optimistic. We are witnessing the self-immolation of a great country.

UC Davis is hiring! A tenure-track assistant professor of psychology, in human cognition or cognitive neuroscience #psychjobs recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF07300

One of my favorite things right now is when my 10-yo tells me something he learned at school, I act like I’m not really familiar, and then he teaches it to me. He just gave me a great lesson on prime vs composite numbers. At some point he’s going to wonder how I can possibly be a science professor.

I’ll be blunt: no respectable media outlet should be providing a platform for Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo. He is nothing but a factory for anti-science propaganda. He has nothing of worth to convey to the public.

This should be a bigger story. A government official had the YouTube channel of a private citizen shut down bc he didn’t like what that citizen was saying. This administration’s version of free speech is a joke.

Felt like a pie chart was in order. Number of mass shooters since 2018: 4197 % of mass shooters since 2018 that were transgender? 0.095% % of mass shooters that were cisgender: 99.905%

What if scientists hadn’t waited until this point to speak about politics Every time I see a headline like this, my brain just shouts Like what if scientists hadn’t sat around silently watching everyone around them get attacked Maybe the fight on campus would have gone differently

Dear people who are saying that the CDC directors who quit yesterday should have “stayed and fought”, With all due respect, you do not grasp the magnitude of the problem of RFK Jr. He is asking them to do unethical and immoral things that will actively harm the people of the United States. 1/3

We have finally navigated the endless red tape and gotten the donation site to support the US FlyBase groups up and running. bsky.app/profile/flyb...

Read this. In this political climate, it is our duty as scientists to collectively mobilize, reveal the deceit & the malicious misrepresentation of science happening here. This is why we have op-eds, letters of dissent, petitions & public statements. #Pinks 🧪 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

“This is a bad day for science,” said Scott Hensley, an immunologist at the University of Pennsylvania who has been working to develop an mRNA vaccine against flu…With this move, the department is “undermining our ability to rapidly counter future biological threats,” said Rick Bright, a flu expert”

How do animals decide if they should forage for food or stay home to take care of newborn offspring? Whose needs come first? For my PhD work now out in Nature, we examined how hunger and parenting neurons interact and are reshaped postpartum in mice 🧵⬇️ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

BREAKING: Trump wants to illegally cut off $15 billion in lifesaving NIH research. Research to cure cancer, Alzheimer's, and so much more is on the line. These people are LYING about waste, fraud, and abuse at NIH to justify attacking medical research—we all need to say so. My full statement. ⬇️

College freshman son just played me a death metal song he wrote about gruesome injuries. His inspiration? Lab safety training. ☠️

NIH staff are literally being asked to screen candidates' social media for negative sentiment aimed at the administration. This is *not* government efficiency.

Every single story you are hearing from the Everglades Concentration Camp has been and is already taking place in hundreds of prisons and jails in the U.S. That's what PIC abolitionists have been trying to get the public to understand for decades.

You have about 24 hours to voice your opinion, please do! 🧠📈

4 U.S. citizen children, with their mother, held in a detention facility for 2 WEEKS. Denied access to lawyers and even communication with family. Disappeared. Held Incommunicado. No charges have been filed.

🚨BREAKING: Cal State LA just moved classes online and let faculty work remotely, not for a storm, not for COVID, but because ICE is in the area. Let that sink in, an entire university is treating immigration enforcement like a public health crisis.

IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT Please watch the workshop video and COMMENT by 5:00 Monday 7/14 This is the source of the "no more model organism only grants in NIH-funded research" decree.

"Alligator Alcatraz" is wrong and media should not use it. It's propaganda. Alcatraz held people convicted of crimes, particularly violent crimes. The Florida camp holds people *not* convicted of any crime. If they had been, they'd be in prison elsewhere. The site is a textbook concentration camp.

Karolinska is looking for 20 (!!) assistant professors and offering 6 year appointments with ~1M USD startup packages. ki.se/en/about-ki/...

SCOOP: NIH appears to be disregarding last week's court order to stop screening grants using a process a judge ruled illegal. This has many NIH staffers confused and worried about the legality of their actions.

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

🚨URGENT RESPONSE CALL🚨 🌪️23 LIVES WERE LOST OVERNIGHT AS TORNADOS HIT KY. KY has one of several regions in the US without 24/7 National Weather Service coverage, due to DOGE cuts. W/out overnight monitoring, ppl don't receive weather warnings. THIS is how science cuts cost lives. shorturl.at/JgTjU

Job opening in my department: 50% vivarium manager (it’s a small facility!) and 50% teaching lab coordinator. This will be a good position for someone who appreciates lab animal research, has lab animal care experience, and enjoys working with undergrads. Happy to answer any questions! 🧪🧠

92 years ago today, the Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld Institute for Sexuality, where the first study of trans people was conducted, and burned all of its contents. Fitting that today is also the day SCOTUS greenlights the project of the eradication of trans people from society in the US.

Just had my last class meeting of this academic year. In all the stress and uncertainty of our current political situation, the attacks on science and education, working with these students was a real bright spot. So grateful that I get to do this job.

🧪 If you had your NSF grant terminated, I'd *highly* recommend going to this Friday's webinar. Friday May 9 at 2-3 pm ET Will talk about both the appeals process, in addition to allowable closeout costs. Share widely. Register here: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Nerd version: I met legendary neuroendocrinologist Mary Dallman at a conference when I was a grad student and she was so cool. She treated me like a colleague and asked insightful questions about my data in a supportive way.

My baby went to senior prom last night! Here he is, on the right, with his date.

The Spencer Foundation is offering rapid response bridge funding for those who lost NSF research grants. www.spencer.org/grant_types/...

A science communicator launched an effort to pair artists with scientists whose jobs were eliminated or whose research funding was halted by the Trump administration. The result? Powerful portraits of researchers and their work. ⚛️🧪 doi.org/10.1063/pt.f...
