NSF GRFP deadline published! www.nsf.gov/funding/oppo... End of October! Solicitation seemingly on the way

Either PIs are fierce gossips when it comes to good news about their trainees, or I've accidentally favored selectively loquacious mentors. 😜

Anyone with substance use / marginalized groups data looking to go to #CPA or #CPDD? I would love to connect for a possible symposium!

"The mystery is inherent to the poetic enterprise, which is: How do I say what can't be said?" Damn, Dave Duchovny, I agree with every word of this.

✨ Science thrives when we invest in the next generation. In response to funding cuts, early career researchers are speaking out, mobilizing, and keeping hope alive. This is our call to action. 🔗 medium.com/scitech-fore...

NIH progress on new R01s in FY 2025 drugmonkey.wordpress.com/2025/08/18/n...

LOOK HOW PRETTY MY FIRST EVER SINGLE CELL RNASEQ SAMPLE ISSSSS!!! 🎉 I cannot contain my smile right now. So much work has gone into this project, and this UMAP of a fetal mouse basal ganglia was a pilot test of feasibility before I process every sample. I'm so nervous & excited & I love science.

“Bridging science and society is a problem everywhere...As someone passionate about science and society, I want the scientific workforce to reflect the diversity of the country, and these executive orders are going to stop that.” @jpflores.rbind.io www.aaas.org/membership/m...

Check out this 🆕 article from Minerva, @cate-cholamine.bsky.social, & colleagues reviewing the pros, cons, and best applications for currently available genome-wide sequencing technologies in neuropsychiatric research www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Look I have a PhD and you should not listen to like...most of what I say

"Agencies must revise their Uniform Guidance to... require that discretionary grants include terms allowing termination 'for convenience' if the award no longer serves priorities or the national interest."

I'm deeply honored to share that I've been awarded a 2025 NARSAD Young Investigator Grant from @bbrfoundation.bsky.social . I'm so grateful to my mentors & BBRF for continuing to support early career researchers during this tumultuous time. It will mean everything to scientists like me. 🥲

Are you a scientist who wants to advocate for federal science funding? 📣 SNAP is helping early-career researchers meet with their representatives while they’re home this August, ahead of the FY2026 budget vote, where major cuts to NIH and NSF are on the table. No experience needed—Just your voice!

🧪 Senate appropriators say: NIH's budget gets a... boost! Rather than 40% cut, NIH gets a $400M *increase* in the Senate committee bill for FY26 (about +1%). "Congress has your back," said @murray.senate.gov. ADVOCACY MATTERS! There's still a long road (esp in the House), so keep up pressure.

Hear from early career researchers how they are being impacted by the federal turmoil! @jpflores.rbind.io @abankston.bsky.social @siararouzer.bsky.social and others speak to how the future of science is being affected. www.linkedin.com/posts/adrian...

With many postdoc grants like the NSF PRFB, Ford Fellowship, and Hanna H. Gray fellowships disappearing, I am currently looking for grants that could fund incoming postdoctoral scholars. Here is a thread of some of them 🧵

This new report analyzes the impact of the NIH BRAIN Initiative's Circuits Program which has supported cross species systems neuroscience research and facilitated team science. Congrats to my NIH colleagues for this effort to quantify the impact of these programs! elifesciences.org/articles/106...

Are you planning to apply for faculty positions in North America this Fall? Our team of researchers have synthesized 3 years of applicant survey data to create a dashboard to allow assistant professor candidates to see where they stand. faculty-job-market-collab.org/dashboard/

How I've adjusted my mentoring to do better for grad students whose careers will take them beyond academia. That is, for most of them! scientistseessquirre...

Scientific funding cuts are reshaping what it means to be a research trainee. Join us & @aaas.org Section X this week, as we discuss the new reality for early career researchers, and how we’re showing up, speaking out, and pushing forward. 📅 July 30 | 🕒 3–4pm ET 🔗 Register: shorturl.at/Coz4E

BRENNAN: Are you going to release the cancer research funding? RUSS VOUGHT: We're gonna continue to go through the same process that we have gone through with regard to the Dept of Education & we will release that funding when we are done BRENNAN: The WH budget does call for a $18b cut to NIH

I’m thinking about contracting with a research assistant. Someone who has a background in journalism and politics and is (for better or worse) extremely online. Is this a thing that exists?

From @aaas.org check-in with Sudip Parikh: a letter by 14 Republican senators urge the Office of Management and Budget to release NIH funding. If this includes your state (AL, ME, WV, SC, KY, KS, AR, PA, NC, IN, AK), Sudip recommends contacting & thanking them for being American science leaders.

I paid off my car & officially own it!!!! *credit score drops four points*

⚠️ UNM has a new non-clinical PhD program, Diversity & Health Data Science Across the Lifespan! This area adopts a multidisciplinary lens to frame research questions at the intersection of human development, health, and sociocultural diversity. Details and faculty here: psych.unm.edu/graduate/pro...

Journals are increasingly concerned about AI-written peer reviews. I'm curious what folks think about this: What if journals performed an LLM-based review (using private models to protect confidentiality) and then provided that to reviewers, signalling that they are looking for more from the humans?

Including renewals & resubmissions in this cap makes this notice particularly inappropriate. You could easily propose two entirely novel projects and meet this limit within a calendar year, especially if you have existing funding. I couldn't imagine hard $$ labs submitting this few annually.

The mantra “location, location, location” isn’t just about real estate. For life scientists, more than 50% of their productivity can be attributed to the institution where they work, according to a new study. scim.ag/4kKs1YO

My NIH diversity supplement was reinstated! 🥳 This is not the time to keep quiet or feel defeated by this administration. This is the time to raise hell 🔥 and be heard ✊🏽

This story was made possible thanks to NIH staff who reached out. I'm always looking for more sources, message me on Signal (mkozlov.01). If you hit a paywall, making a free account will open the full story.

The flood should remind us -- as the Uvalde school shooting did -- that Republican governance is incompetent & leads to more people dying.

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

Does anyone have insight on the extreme slowdown in #NIAAA funding? After issuing 111 NOAs in May, NIAAA has issued just 5 since June 1. Meanwhile, #NIDA has issued 299 since June 1, including many new awards. No NIAAA T32s have received NOAs, while a large number of NIDA T32s have.

Well, this happened yesterday... www.drugdiscoverytrends.com/nih-announce... I assume that this pertains only to applications that focus on therapeutic development and not those addressing fundamental biology or mechanism. But I am wary about making assumptions... 1/2

Paying yourself first by time-blocking your writing, thinking and researching time www.raulpacheco.org/2025/04/payi... Something I've learned over the course of my career is that, left unchecked, everything will take over my life and I won't be able to do my own work. (1/2) #RPVSky
