The number of NIH competitive awards is down 50% from 2025, and down ~70% from prior years. Even if they catch up by the end of the year, only wealthy institutions can bridge these huge funding gaps.They're killing science-and violating the constitution-by weaponizing the bureaucracy

Sara Lopez is a 2-year old who is paralyzed due to a rare complication from the flu. Her mother then did something very brave. She said she had not to gotten Sara vaccinated against flu, and is imploring parents not to skip the shot. RFK Jr. removed the flu vaccine for recommendation for kids.

Several scientists have received letters from the NIH director disinviting them from their positions on advisory councils that make final decisions on grant funding, I'm told. In July, I reported that NIH staff were told to select members aligned with Trump administration priorities.

We are still recruiting for a postdoc for my lab! This person will play a key role in a new R01 optimizing a self-guided digital intervention for #eatingdisorders. There will be ample opportunities for publishing, contributing to grants, mentoring, etc. Apply by 10/31 for priority consideration.

Four years after Medicaid was expanded in Missouri: what do we know? 1. Enrollment has met expectations 2. Uninsured dropped significantly 3. Financially not a burden to state budget 4. Reduced out of pocket costs to recipients 5. Improved financing for hospitals 6. Some implementation challenges

WARNER: Do you accept the fact that 1 million Americans died from covid? RFK Jr: I don't know how many died W: You're the secretary of health and human services. You don't have any idea how many Americans died from covid? RFK Jr: I don't think anybody knows that W: How can you be that ignorant?

RFK Jr. has said many times that the CDC has failed to address the chronic disease “epidemic”, yet he ignores the root causes—poverty, lack of education, lack of access to healthcare.

Some news on GRFP…

Do you ever feel like social media affects your body image? Women aged 18-26 living in the United States are invited to take our social media intervention! Click this secure link to take our interest survey: neu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... #Research #SocialMedia

Applying for graduate studies in psychology and neuroscience can be challenging and confusing. Frequently, applicants have some support from mentors at their home institutions, but sometimes applicants are looking for additional reassurance, feedback, or perspectives on the processes.

📣 I'm recruiting a postdoc to work on a newly-funded R01 aiming to optimize a digital intervention for #eatingdisorders and contribute to other research in this space! Remote candidates may be considered. Start spring/sum 26 (or sooner!). Pls share! wustl.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/External/job...

Pls comment on this NIH RFI on limiting allowable publishing costs by 9/15. osp.od.nih.gov/comment-form... This is completely in conflict w/ the other new mandate that we must have our research be OA immediately (and publishers like Wiley not allowing submission to PMC immediately if we don't pay)..

Awesome time @isrii.bsky.social #ISRII13 the past few days in San Diego sharing our work on a digital tx for lower-income ppl with EDs, participating in a panel on AI in clinical science training, receiving the 2025 Translational Impact Award, and spending time with amazing friends and colleagues!

Tomorrow SCOTUS quietly decides if Trump administration can illegally cut grants tied to DEIA. This and today's bombshell announcing no new NIH grants is an orchestrated assault. We need to scream from rooftops.

This will be very very bad and hugely detrimental, please contacted your elected officials asap

RFK Jr. has now officially stated that he will dismantle the United States Preventive ServicesTask Force (USPSTF). This is an independent body of expert scientists who volunteer their time to review data and provide guidance to Americans on important things like cancer screenings.

This is extremely bad: “expect placement by political appointees.” This is Lysenkoism, politics controlling science, and we know how it ends: with the death of science. “For successful science, reality must take precedence over politics, for Nature cannot be fooled.”

🌟The REPEAT Lab at VCU (PI: Dr. Annie Haynos) in Richmond, VA is hiring a clinical research coordinator! 🌟 We use various methods (fMRI, EMA, computational modeling) to study neurobiological mechanisms and treatment for eating disorders & other disorders of rigidity. Post will be open for 1 week! 🧠📊
