Thrilled to share our new paper, out now in @natneuro.nature.com, uncovering how estradiol, the most potent estrogen, modulates reinforcement learning and reward prediction errors across biological levels. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #blueprint 1/7

Academics who have advised a graduate student from China over the past years would be banned from federal funding. This would give the federal government one more lever to attack scientists. And how long before they expand the list of "hostile foreign" countries?

I thought I would have sent my sfn poster for printing by now but instead I am finding The Best Example Unit to put on the poster. help.

PSA for people with NIH grant periods starting January 1st (including most NIGMS MIRAs): your RPPR is due Saturday, but they haven’t sent out the usual automated reminders, presumably due to the shutdown

Not that he didn’t already know, but now Trump knows for sure he can roll the Dems every time and there’s no need to negotiate for anything

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

Super excited to share the first part of my thesis work! Perhaps how you might be able to both recognize someone’s voice *and* understand what they’re saying, we find that both social identity and vocalization category can be decoded from gerbil auditory cortex activity👂🧠 tinyurl.com/4fba6wk4

“'This is cruelty for cruelty’s sake,' said a senior congressional aide briefed on the plan. 'Targeting children — threatening their parents — offering them cash to give up safety — this is not immigration enforcement. It’s blackmail.'" open.substack.com/pub/migranti...

This is heinous, unforgivable behavior. This is systemic child abuse. This is flagrant disregard for children's humanity and fundamental rights. It is a policy that reveals the thoroughgoing moral depravity of its authors.

Today’s shameful shadow docket decision from the Supreme Court—allowing Trump to unilaterally cancel $4 billion in aid—is not behavior that any healthy democracy tolerates of its judiciary. It is a sign of constitutional rot that precedes the rule of law’s collapse. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Oh dear. It seems Dr. Oz’s company sells Trump‘s big autism cure. What a crazy happenstance.

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.

I’m worried it can still get stupider

It’s really all we should be talking about today.

Only single cell sequencing of the all these post docs will reveal why

Hakeem Jeffries voted for Charlie Kirk Day but still isn’t sure if he’ll endorse Zohran Mamdani. This is why the approval rating of the Democratic Party is lower than Trump’s or the GOP.

It's Baby Safety Month.

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment. Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

Congressional Democrats can’t decide if they should cut a deal with the pedophile dictator who is trying to militarily invade their cities. Seems like a fairly obvious choice to me, but what do I know.

As it's hiring season again I'm resharing the NeuroJobs feed. Add #NeuroJobs to your post if you're recruiting or looking for an RA, PhD, Postdoc, or faculty position in Neuro or an adjacent field. bsky.app/profile/did:...

RFK wants us to focus on the root causes of disease. We used to do that, we called it the social determinants of health. That was banned as DEI.

🧪 And House appropriators say: no cuts to NIH budget! House subcommittee version just came out (link below). Holds NIH flat at $48 billion. To be clear: this is far from over. But a good sign that science still matters across both sides of aisle. YOUR VOICE MATTERS!!

We've officially reached the "show me your papers" phase of Trump's fascist takeover.

A must-read, must-share piece - clearly deconstructing the shoddy science of the Geiers (who are inexplicably in charge of studies at HHS). Consider this an early warning for what lies ahead. 🛟🩺🧪 www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Thanks to Nicole for the highlight!! 🥹 this has been such a rewarding a labor of love for the last 6 (!!) years with @cprofaci.bsky.social and @drnancypadilla.bsky.social and our whole team of amazing volunteers!!! Always grateful to hear that it’s reaching a wider audience and having some impact ❤️

what does this guy even get out of this nonsense? like, is he selling something?

Washington DC has 702,000 people, is 45% Black and has 0 senators Wyoming has 590,000 people, is 86% white and has 2 senators DC needs a state with proper representation, not a military takeover

The @flatironinstitute.org is hosting a 2-day workshop on Python packages for neural data analysis ( @pynapple.bsky.social NoMoS) prior to #SfN2025: neurorse.flatironinstitute.org/events/2025/.... Apps due Sept 8. And best of all, it's free, including meals and lodging! Go check it out!

Everyone in DC knows that if you want to hide something, announce it on a Friday in August. Better yet, make it nearly impossible to track down. That's exactly what SCOTUS did last week. But the news is too staggering to hide for long: SCOTUS has decided it's time to destroy the Voting Rights Act.

Court accepting updated list of plaintiffs/grantees impacted! MUST BE SUBMITTED BY AUGUST 1st 5pm EST! Please disseminate!!! Message from ACLU team below: 1/n

"The government never asks me what I think." Well, we're asking now and it's about gentle flute, so this is your moment.
