What are some questions you'd like to ask our editors? ❓ 📝 ✨ 🧪 💡

Anyone have recent experience applying for an O1? Would love to hear about what the process was like!

Preprint is now published: doi.org/10.1002/hbm.... Special thanks to co-authors @twktan.bsky.social @kimnganngt.bsky.social @csabaorban.bsky.social

If I got a grant rejection today, but I'm submitting an application for a different one tomorrow, do they just cancel each other out?

My therapist told me to find a new hobby so here we are…

Proud to have helped shape this policy. DCN will now evaluate studies with a new section: "Design Considerations", rather than simplified sample size criteria. This will allow for precision neuroimaging studies and require more nuanced discussion of reliability, effect sizes and power.

Living in 2025 is quite an adventure because my chest hurts and I don’t know if it’s because of COVID, anxiety, or the leg wrap & chest solidcore class I did today. 🤷🏽‍♀️

broke my keychain this morning and I feel like the world is trying to send me a message 🙃

Wow. Harvard nuking its PhD programs - Science PhD admissions reduced by more than 75% - Arts & Humanities reduced by about 60% - Social Sciences by 50–70% - History by 60% - Biology by 75% - The German department will lose all PhD seats - Sociology from six PhD students to zero

Btw for those interested in figuring out how many NIH study sections are being cancelled, the Federal Register announcements are useful www.federalregister.gov/documents/se...

Excited to share our new paper entitled Multisystem Environmental Factors Elucidate Shared and Distinct Associations With Brain and Behavior in Adolescents. Link: www.jaacap.org/article/S089.... @kavliatyale.bsky.social

I’m trying to get into using Goodnotes to track research projects - any suggestions/tips on the best way to go about doing this?

Can someone please explain to me how in a company of 100K+ employees, there is a single IT person who can provide tech support for Apple devices?

In this scoping review, Melcher and colleagues find that adverse, geospatially defined early-life social exposome exposures are consistently linked to altered structural neuroanatomy from infancy to late adolescence, emphasizing their impact on brain development and disease risk.

Excited to share recent collaborative work led by Hayley Thorpe published in Molecular Psychiatry: Genome-wide association studies of lifetime and frequency of cannabis use in 131,895 individuals www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New lab paper in DCN! 🧠 We conducted interviews with adolescents to better understand their perceptions of neuroscience research and barriers to participation, w/qualitative data that is shaping how we design lab studies & efforts to increase representation. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

We're a month further into the job market - how are things looking? The good news is that the market does seem to have been delayed: ~150 new listings have appeared since my last post. The bad news is that the total is still substantially lower than what it was during the covid dip.

New paper in Nature Mental Health where we show that macroeconomic income inequality is associated with brain structure and function over and above individual-level SES and other state-level factors. These alterations may serve as pathways to mental health problems. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

I'm reviewing textbook chapters and I think this is the first time in my life I'm reading textbook chapters in their entirety. I never really read them as an undergrad or when I was teaching undergrads so this is quite an interesting experience.

In this review, @lucinauddin.bsky.social and Hugh Garavan examine how task and resting-state fMRI can reveal brain-behavior relationships in youth, highlighting current controversies and challenges, outlining solutions, and proposing future directions in developmental neuroscience research.

Excited to share that I'm joining WashU in January as an Assistant Prof in Psych & Brain Sciences! 🧠✨! I'm also recruiting grad students to start next September - come hang out with us! Details about our lab here: www.deckerlab.com Reposts are very welcome! 🙌 Please help spread the word!

My department at Emory is a hiring a tenure-track neuroscientist! Anyone who's talked to me in the last 4 years knows I cannot say enough good things about my dept and the neuroscience community here. My colleagues are so wonderfully supportive. Postdocs, please apply! apply.interfolio.com/174371

We will have an NHP position open at @westernu.ca this year. Posting is coming soon. If you're interested about our setup and the opportunities here, feel free to get in touch.

Awesome stuff here from @annierhcheng.bsky.social g.bsky.social and @yiplab.bsky.social using predictive modelling of fMRI connectivity data to find markers of impulsivity and negative affect in IMAGEN and ABCD w/ @toddc.bsky.social, @baderchaarani.bsky.social et al.

On the bright side, I just got my new laptop with 128GB of RAM so I guess you win some, you lose some 🤷🏽‍♀️

It’s not even 9am and I’ve already been threatened at the border to have my clearance status revoked and taken a Lyft where the steering wheel stopped working in the middle of the highway during rush hour. Happy Monday!

New paper from @annierhcheng.bsky.social using data from IMAGEN and ABCD she identifies distinct signatures of impulsivity and negative affect in youth that uniquely overlap with a neuromarker of risky alcohol use #development #equifinality #abcd #connectome www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Had the best week in Tübingen talking about sex, gender, and the brain with some of the most amazing people doing this work 🧠🩷

Excited to share that I am officially recruiting a postdoc to study the neurobiology of addiction! Looking for someone who would be excited to lead current projects in the lab and develop new directions in related areas. More info: bearlab.science/opportunities/

Happy to be a part of Anya Topiwala's new work, using Mendelian Randomisation with @ukbiobank.bsky.social & Million Veteran Program, finding that even modest alcohol consumption increases risk of dementia. ebm.bmj.com/content/earl...

Another day, another airport. (Also fun lil fact since I recently had to fill this out on a form - I have exited/entered the US 100+ times since 2018 🤯🌏)

Did I ignore this email every day for the last month? Yes. Did I immediately fill it out after they added a Sabrina Carpenter ticket giveaway? Also yes.

So... I did some analysis of grants that did receive noncompetitive renewals. In particular, I looked a those award where the title of the grant changed. Warning: The results are just what I expected, but oooph... 1/4

Here is a word cloud of the words that were missing from the noncompetitive renewal awards but had been present in the parent award. 3/4

Gender is a scientifically valid construct. Essentially Texas A&M is forcing their instructors to lie about or omit factual scientific information because it is politically inconvenient for them.

Following up: searching for the distribution of estrogen receptors in the brain, I realized the Allen Brain Atlas is male only. How is it possible that something this fundamental is still missing?
