I’m pleased to share our new review article, “Attending to Remember: Recent Advances in Methods and Theory”, written with Haopei Yang (HY), Alice Xue, and Anthony Wagner, now out in Current Directions in Psychological Science. 🚀🧠 A brief thread 🧵 doi.org/10.1177/09637214251339452

#CNS2025 was such a blast! It was a delight to work & present our symposium on how VR can be leveraged in neuro/psych research! Make sure to check out the cool research being done by my fellow speakers @tammyish.bsky.social & @manusmad.bsky.social & Birgit Peña Häufler! Excited for #CNS2026 !

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

Just received notice that our grant was terminated. 5R24AG066599-03 TheRiseRegistry.org

Many US students don’t know how to seek opportunities outside the US. With some help from our colleagues in EU and Canada, we could put together a consolidated website of PhD opportunities and scholarships outside the US, organized by field. There might still be time for this year in some places.

If you're in the US, considering Europe for your PhD, and you identify as a minority, I will chat with you and review any application documents you need 🧪

Excited to see this review of tau and TDP-43 come out, great to work with @lemwisse.bsky.social @relajoie.bsky.social and Bill Jagust 🤩🎉 alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

In case you were wondering how the Trump admin was still freezing NIH funds, despite court orders, this is how. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

To all people who value science as a source of truth, cures for diseases, and hope for our climate and future, here are 2 hard truths: 1) our current research ecosystem is already strained and very fragile; 2) If it gets broken it will take a generation or longer to repair. Here’s why: 1/n

I'm so proud of my postdoc Dr. Uyen Vu for her hard work on this thoughtful paper on trauma and resilience in the #Vietnamese population. academic.oup.com/psychsocgero... @ucdavishealth.bsky.social

APA is compiling stories of how researchers are impacted by the executive orders. Share your story here to help them advocate for you! www.votervoice.net/APAAdvocacy/...

BREAKING On Monday, Popular Information broke the news that the NIH had frozen virtually all grant funding in violation of 2 federal court orders On Wednesday, NIH leadership distributed a memo, acknowledging that its funding freeze was illegal and directing staff to resume issuing grants.

1/19 I’m thrilled that my postdoctoral work, with John Widloski and David Foster is now out in @science.org, along with a wonderful preview by Daniel Bendor!

8. It is difficult to overstate what a catastrophe this will be for the US research and education systems, particular in biomedical fields. It is deliberate and wanton devastation entirely out of scale with any concern about DEI activities on campuses. The goal is destroy US universities.

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%. I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

This is the end of science as we know it if it stands—15% IDCs for all NIH Grants. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

🚨RED ALERT for 🧪: The Trump NIH just gashed indirect costs. This is a direct attack on universities. “Pursuant to this Supplemental Guidance, there will be a standard rate of 15% across all NIH grants for indirect costs.” 😮 Just a devastating Friday night news dump. #scicomm #academicaky

@tammyish.bsky.social presenting her work on memory in different spatial contexts at the #Stanford #KnightInitiative Winter Symposium ❄️🧠

The #MorminoLab is now on Bluesky! 💙 We'd like to dedicate our first post to highlight the fantastic work by our lab at our favorite conference, #HAI2025. We had poster presentations by Joe Winter, Karly Cody, Isha Sai, and Jintao Sheng, and an oral presentation by Beth Mormino. 🧠

📌 Here’s something to put a pin in: ping @nicolecrust.bsky.social about what you are up to in science advocacy to receive a Science Advocate pin! 🧬 The pin has a picture of DNA on it. This helps you cover your bases without being too stranded!

If you can go, go. 5pm today. Last night's cutoff of federal funding by 47 doesn't just mess with the recipients, it violates the Constitution and seizes powers that belong to Congress. It's a dictatorial attempt at consolidation of power in the presidency. www.mobilize.us/climateactio...

"Health disparities research" is a field of study where researchers look at how things like race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status can influence health outcomes. Now any gov't website about this says "page not found". This is a dystopia that I did not imagine that we'd be living through.

Today, the NV Attorney General and members of the legislature came to campus to speak to faculty and staff about immigration and ICE raids on campus. I am thankful that we have elected officials advocating for our community but also WTAF is this reality right now.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

Trump admin through 1 week: - Pauses all federal grants & loans - Purges Justice Department career staff, halts civil rights cases - Purges at least 15 inspectors general - Suspends USAID staff while halting foreign aid - Threatens Colombia, Denmark, Mexico, Canada & many more w/ tariffs & sanctions

Academic workers across the country are organizing to call on our congressional representatives on Thursday, 1/30, at 3pm ET / 12pm PT to demand these restrictions be lifted immediately. There will be a training over zoom at the beginning of the event. Join us! form.jotform.com/250226137228...

Is perceptual novelty important in your research? We created, standardised, and validated a database of truly novel perceptual stimuli (matched to BOSS objects on size, contrast, luminance & colourfulness) so you don't have to! www.nature.com/articles/s41... #cogpsy #psychology #EEG #neuroskyence

#Neuroimaging crowd, hear me out! 👀 Did you ever want to add #EyeTracking to your #fMRI study but found it too much hassle? Got existing data you’d love to add eye tracking to? Consider trying out *MR-based eye tracking* (i.e. inferring gaze from eye voxels)! Here is a 🧵 with a few options!👇 1/9

It was a joy to read this in a lab journal club. A really nice study with important implications for both event processing and decision making. And such a clever design! Top marks for all involved! "Visual event boundaries restrict anchoring effects in decision-making" #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky

Happy Friday HSGers, 🧠 A recording of the Marcus Wallenberg Symposium "Activities of the Hippocampal Subfields Group - a progress update" is now live on YouTube!     Check it out if you weren't able to join live or just to take the updates in again. 😊 Link here: youtu.be/7X2ZnKDyZWo
