The NIH’s new imposed standard indirect cost rate threatens life-saving brain & behavior research that benefits millions of Americans. SfN, with other scientific organizations,urge reversal of this policy & implore Congress to protect critical research infrastructure. Full statement: bit.ly/4jVJnCL

Attention all (future) postbacs! I have an opening for a tech position in my lab starting this summer. Looking for a supportive and highly educational work environment? Apply here: umb.taleo.net/careersectio...

check it out. our latest, supporting a role for claustrum in cognitive control (no pain in this one but just wait)

Finally found my way to bluer skies. Looking forward to everyone's fresh science news! #neuroscience
