I’m hiring! We have an opening in my lab at UC Berkeley for a Staff Research Associate 2. This person will collect and analyze data, work with patients and families, act as point of contact btwn collaborators, maintain lab organization, + more. careerspub.universityofcalifornia.edu/psp/ucb/EMPL...

Excited to announce that my lab has moved to UC Berkeley Dept of Neuroscience and Dept of Statistics! I will be continuing to collaborate with colleagues and students in TX at UT Austin and Baylor College of Medicine, and will start new collabs in the Bay. Will be taking new grad students this fall!

Are you a PI of a federal grant cancelled by the Trump administration? Please share your info with the Democratic Staff of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, who launched this portal yesterday to track funding cancellations 🔭🧪 forms.office.com/pages/respon...

Please read the thread and consider submitting a comment!

my lab (lacns.github.io) at @mpi-nl.bsky.social and @dondersinst.bsky.social is recruiting for two PhD and two postdoctoral positions funded by an @erc.europa.eu Consolidator - come join us! PhD: www.mpi.nl/career-educa... Postdoc: www.mpi.nl/career-educa... (please share widely)

HAPPY 75th, NSF! We’re celebrating this milestone by highlighting some of NSF’s most transformative accomplishments—innovations that have shaped our world and continue to drive progress in health, technology, the environment, and beyond. Read on 🧵(1/11):

Now they are gutting NSF. This is radical destruction. The Trump goal is to end scientific research in America. Our sense is that few people, even inside the government, have actually grappled with this reality.

📣🧪 $25k grants for those who: 1. are working on research on STEM and education (including AI and CS, graduate education and MSIs, and scholarship that aims to reduce inequality), and 2. have had a recently terminated or cancelled grant from NSF. Early-career scholars prioritized

My 1st experience working in science was at UNAVCO, an #NSF funded geosciences org. now part of @earthscope.org. So much technical knowledge I use in my neuroscience (!) lab was from that early experience. My PhD was then funded by #NSFGRFP. Ending NSF funding will devastate careers and innovation.

I am so heartened to this seriously AWESOME #SaveNSF website go up today!!!! Has a take action toolkit with: 1. Press outreach templates 2. Social media toolkit 3. Elected official outreach 4. Talking points Check it out and share widely!!!! Likely more to come. www.savensf.com

It's not just Columbia, it's not just DEI, and it's not just biomedical research: Trump's war on universities has frozen crucial science at institutions like Princeton, Cornell, Northwestern, and more. Our @nature.com team spoke to some of the affected scientists: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Tell Congress to protect crucial medical research funding #saveNIHresearch ucal.us/saveNIHresearch @uofcalifornia.bsky.social @ucsantabarbara.bsky.social

hi, cis folks! if we *are* going to talk ACA, RFK's HHS proposed a rule to remove *all trans care* from ACA essential health benefit status. ~25mil people are insured by ACA & if 1% are trans, that's 250,000 people who'd lose access to care. that's bad! take 2 minutes to stand with trans people.🧵

What this administration is teaching Universities is that even if you comply - punish students for protests, ban masks, remove DEI from websites and classes - they will still defund you and try to break you apart. Basically, there is no point in complying.

POST-DOC CALL! 2-year post-doctoral position to work in Marseille on any topic in the field of language, communication and the brain. Deadline May, 20, 2025 www.ilcb.fr/ilcb-postdoc...

This was an interesting commentary to write on work by Binder et al. regarding impaired acoustic phonetic perception after unilateral left hemisphere stroke. academic.oup.com/brain/advanc...

Very cool work from Iowa intracranial group on auditory responses in insula! Consistent with fast responses in this area during speech listening we saw in our recent paper www.jneurosci.org/content/44/4...

Big milestone for Project Jupyter 🚨: Jupyter has finalized the creation of the Jupyter Foundation, hosted by @linuxfoundation.org. www.linuxfoundation.org/press/linux-...

We were actually "unknown" for it, but for years @neuroshea.bsky.social and I ran the bsdneuro account, which now rests in a grave befitting Bob (and his cortex).

I have created this with a few of us listed but I know there are more of us on Bluesky: contact me if you wish to be added! 😊 go.bsky.app/CLzeYDN

Here's a starter pack for people interested in the cognitive science and neuroscience of language. With all the new Bluesky arrivals, I'm sure I'm missing people—please let me know and I'll add! go.bsky.app/6iumPee

I feel that the auditory research community has either not arrived here yet or is not very well connected. Please let me know who to add to this starter pack and self-nominate. 🧪 go.bsky.app/2V3D2mu

Hi all! I’m a neuroscientist and I’m generally interested in how the brain processes speech and language, how we pay attention in noisy environments, and how we understand the sonic world around us! You can read about our lab and what we do here: slhs.utexas.edu/research/ham....

At the final SfN poster session Aditya Vaidya will present some new work he’s doing w/ me & @libertysays.bsky.social. It sounds a little nuts, but we’re using in silico experiments on fMRI models to replicate effects that really should only work in ECoG. Poster DD15 Wed PM.
