This was me. Terminated from #NIMHBSC with no explanation. Complete gov interference in the #NIH intramural research program oversight and review - telling NIH researchers what science they can do and who can do it. Not a positive outlook for scientific discovery, innovation, or health. 👇👇

Bravo to @ibroorg.bsky.social for the focus on 🌍 global 🧠 research, training support and advocacy 👏 and championing women’s voices from around the world 📣.

Tracy Bale is one of the most competent neuroscientists, there is a reason why she is the current President of the International Brain Research Organization. Firing her and other neuroscientists from any NIH board is not only unusual and unprecedented but also very intentional. They want chaos.

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are commonly used for #depression, but they don’t work for all patients. A #Neuroscience study explored an alternative 👉 Hear from first author Andrea Mondragón-García: shorturl.at/dag2O #IBROjournals @francescacirulli.bsky.social @sjspencerlab.bsky.social

The way I've started describing faculty life is that every job is individually really fun but you have 4 of them.

ANS24 in Perth this week. A fantastic meeting, well done to the LOC. Great to see old and meet new friends. I had the privilege of giving the Elspeth McLachlan Plenary - an honour I share with an amazing team and wonderful collaborators. Looking forward to Hobart 2025.

📣#TellUsAboutYourResearch: Meet Dr. Michelle Chen (@michelleachen.bsky.social), an incoming Assistant Professor at TCU! Her research explores how physiological and psychosocial factors shape the mechanisms connecting childhood adversity to long-term health outcomes. #MeetThePNIResearcher

Now that we're into reposting oldies but goodies from our previous life on the other platform, here's my 2021 suggestion for improved scale bars in microscopy: "Googly eyes represent 50 μm." No idea why it didn't catch on.

There’s more to rainbows than the human eye can see: here’s how a rainbow extends into the infrared and ultraviolet. Photos: 1. Infrared 2. Visible (obviously) 3. Ultraviolet, and 4. A composite showing how UV is beyond the violet in a rainbow, and IR beyond the red end. 🧪 #photography
