Friends, please help spread the word about our microbiology REU program at Montana State University. www.montana.edu/mbi/reu/ Each student receives a stipend ($7000 for 10 wks). Travel compensation, room, and board are also provided. Details in the attached pic--Feb 14 deadline 🧫🧪🦠#microsky

Alex Pretti was a scientist.

Day of action on NIH funding, call Rep. Aderholt (202) 225-4876, chair of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor–HHS–Education. Aderholt is AL-04 but subcommittee chairs take calls from all. Call script 👇 went out to as AL Daily Action. Let's create momentum today. @jeremymberg.bsky.social

Congressman Aderholt from Alabama is the chair and he is apparently willing to help OMB here, adding report language (which is toothless) rather than including this in the law. If you are from Alabama, please contact his office and your Senators and share your thoughts. 2/3

President Donald Trump’s administration has declined to reappoint Walter Koroshetz as head of the NIH’s neuroscience institute—even though the agency’s director had backed his renewal. https://scim.ag/4pZD0kq

I had a great time talking to @jenvanalstyne.bsky.social von The Social Academic about overwhelm in academia and how to get out of the vicious cycle of having too much on your plate.

Not cool: Getting a "this 6 hour assignment is due on Monday" reminder from your society during a Holiday weekend. Either send the reminder before the Holiday or trust that it will be done by your deadline. Monday morning would be another automatable possibility.

“There were no cervical cancer cases diagnosed in women aged <25 years in 2021 – the first time that this has occurred in data going back to 1982. This remarkable achievement is almost certainly due to the impact of HPV vaccination.” From report.cervicalcancercontrol.org.au #vaccinationsaveslives

One reason why elite schools (Columbia, Brown, Cornell) caving to Trump’s illegal impoundment and extortion is so galling — a betrayal, really — is that they would have won had they fought. By giving up, they guaranteed every other school will have to fight harder.

Our lab is looking for a postdoc! We have interesting projects and cutting-edge techniques such as Neuropixels Opto, Light Beads Microscopy and more. We would be delighted to receive your application. Deadline is 25 November 2025. More info here: www.ucl.ac.uk/cortexlab/po...

Another excellent position at UT Dallas, this time in the Biological Science Dept: jobs.utdallas.edu/postings/30702 Our Neuroscience and Biological Sciences faculty are closely intertwined and collaborative creating a great place to launch your independent lab!

Between grants getting politically targeted and my lab’s building getting literally fucking bombed, 2025 is going great thanks

When we push students to always choose the highest-ranked programs, we make it easier for those programs (or their faculty) to get away with treating students badly. Since that push sends the message that students should just be grateful to be there, no matter the cost.

The energy at the #NIH rally today was amazing and contagious. Huge turnout, huge pro-science energy. 1/ 🧪#NoKings

U-Miami has a postdoctoral mentored research training program in Alzheimer's / neurodegeneration, with 2 years of funding for fellows. If you're interested in my lab and applying cognitive neuroscience and precision neuroimaging methods to studying AD, please reach out! mbi-umiami.org/training/

During your PhD you learn to do science...but not to lead people. And later, you're too busy, so just keep going on autopilot. Join us in a FREE class with @glia-leadership.bsky.social + @stefanierobel.bsky.social all about lab leadership & team success. 👉 buff.ly/AzDWf09 #NewPI #TenureTrack

As hard as it sounds...Not every lab member is a good fit 😅 Learn how to spot red flags, raise standards, and lead your research team without burnout. We're hosting a free class with @glia-leadership.bsky.social + @stefanierobel.bsky.social 👉 buff.ly/AzDWf09 #NewPI #TenureTrack #AcademicSky

I’ll be riding an endurance race in Mississippi on No Kings Day. So I made a shirt. Hope everyone is planning on showing up on 10/18!

Looking forward to this session on cultivating great teams. Thanks @anapineda.bsky.social for hosting us!

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

148 clinical trials have been impacted, with 138k patients due to be enrolled or already enrolled. Once research stops, some won't pick up where they left off. Even when terminated funding was reinstated, things do not go back to normal. There is so much waste happening. 🧪 archive.today/Rii7f

We’re hosting @anapineda.bsky.social from I Focus and Write tomorrow at noon ET. Join us for a walk through 4 mistakes grant writers make.

Last chance to join us today at 1pm ET. Link in thread.

I invite you to let your #NewPI & #FuturePIs know: Tomorrow I’m running a short session on building a lab that can hold up in “winter”—the season when paylines are tight, rules keep changing, and hiring/approvals slow down.

Have you are a New PI and recently thought: "This isn’t the dream I thought it would be." Been there, done that! And you have it way harder right now. But you don't have to do it alone! 📅 Oct 3, 1:00 pm ET From New PI to Tenure: 3 Moves to Launch a Research Program That Survives 🔗 below

🔬 New PIs: this one’s for you. When I started my lab 10 years ago, I thought I knew what I was getting into. I had the training, the passion, the drive. But the reality hit harder than I expected.

When I was a kid, due to either neglect, trust in the tv, precognition, or a combination, my parents left me alone to watch 1954’s animated version of “Animal Farm.” I was six. I consider the experience of watching Animal Farm alone as if a Disney cartoon it was, a keystone of my upbringing.
