While I’m here in my annual week of re-engaging w/social media, maybe take a second and sign the petition to reinstate Mel Curth at OU, the grad TA who failed the OU student for not doing the assignment. #academicintegrity #highereducation #OU #reinstateMelCurth actionnetwork.org/forms/defend...

There’s still time to apply to our PhD program in Neuroscience at MUSC - app window closes 1/15/26 - tinyurl.com/mtnskh6e

Public comments have been opened back up! Research with animals is critical for providing evidence-based knowledge in the pursuit of human health. Broadly reducing research projects with animals threatens public health and will greatly stall the development of new therapeutics for diseases!

Dear science community, an amazing grad student with @drjrink.bsky.social and I lost her belongings in an apartment fire this morning. She and her dog are safe but needs your help. Please consider donating www.gofundme.com/f/kathy-need...

Why should the public care about the freeze on the NIH? Aside from the need for scientific pursuits to make our society better… -For every dollar we invest in NIH research, there is a $2.5 return. -Research dollars help fund universities that employ non-academics. (1/)

I wrote about the National Institutes of Health and the various serious and unserious proposals for NIH reform that have been floating around. It is important to understand how this agency actually functions and point criticism at the right problems. A short 🧵:
