Cognitive bias modification for individuals with opioid use disorder and chronic pain did not predict changes in clinical outcomes (just accepted in @jsadjournal.bsky.social) @rrmaclean.bsky.social @yaleschoolofmed.bsky.social www.jsad.com/doi/abs/10.1...

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

You know who did read the grants that are being terminated? At least three experts in the field from around the country read them really carefully, and they and a whole panel of dozens of scientists rated them among the top 10% of applications. Apparently we're funding based on word searches now.

So let me get this straight—Trump’s nat sec adviser added a JOURNALIST to a group chat on classified Yemen strike plans?? This isn’t a group project, it’s national security. They screamed “Lock her up” over emails, but leaking war plans is cool now? Make it make sense.

The judge said it best, “the cruel irony is that thousands of transgender service members risk &!sacrifice their lives to ensure the very equal protection rights the military ban seeks to deny them.” We must fight for ALL our military & I mean ALL 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ tinyurl.com/yckeumsa

OSU banned departments from considering race in admissions two years ago -- we aren't allowed to know applicants' races, and diversity (of any kind) was removed from all rubrics. So to come after us now shows how useless & futile it is to comply.

I received one of the 232 NIH grant "terminations" sent to scientists at Columbia last night. My research focuses on improving maternal and child health in the US. Also affected: ongoing clinical trials, research training programs, and research centers that aim to improve the health of Americans.

Coming up, next week! Join us for Addiction Medicine Grand Rounds on 3/11 with guest speaker, Dr. Sara Edmond. We hope to see you there! medicine.yale.edu/internal-med...

Get ready for some world-class gaslighting tonight, as Donald Trump tries to paint a rosy portrait of the cost increases, corruption increases, and chaos of his first two months.

The first SAA newsletter of 2025 was just sent to our members - and you can read it, too: ambulatory-assessment.org/interval-sig... Learn more about the upcoming @saa2025leuven.bsky.social conference #SAA2025, relevant deadlines, meet the conference organisers, and much more.

Congratulations to our Member-at-Large and last year's #SAA2024 conference co-host @drsarahsperry.bsky.social for being appointed the Richard Tam Early Career Professor of Translational Bipolar Research at the University of Michigan 💐👏

Stop giving your attention and money to the mainstream media and start supporting alternatives like: Democracy Docket The Contrarian Meidas Touch Please put other alternatives you like in the comments. Let’s build a great list of resources we can trust.

NIH cuts are getting the press, but VA research is getting slashed too. What do we lose when VA research goes away? Here's some greatest hits: The nicotine patch, invention of the cardiac pacemaker, first successful liver transplant, development of the CAT/CT scan prospect.org/health/2025-...

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

1/ I am seeing a lot of comments on the slashing of NIH support along the lines of “universities should just spend their huge endowments.” I’m the last person to cheer on the institutional stratification rising endowments have contributed to. But let me explain why this is not a solution.

📢 We're still looking for volunteers and state leads to help us organize local events to #standupforscience2025! If you or anyone you know would be interested, please fill out this form: airtable.com/app4h5wUssMG... Any questions? Feel free to DM! #standupforscience2025 #scienceforall

Why do you #standupforscience? ☀️🧪🧬🔭🥼 📣 Post your WHY, and then call on three friends to share theirs! @cdelawalla.bsky.social @samschuelstein.bsky.social @jpflores.bsky.social #standupforscience2025 #scienceforall #sciencenotsilence

I'm #standingupforscience because when I was diagnosed with stage 3 melanoma in 2018, I was terrified. The survival statistics for my type of melanoma was around 20%. But these statistics did not include the lives saved from the recent NCI and CRI funded studies of immunotherapy drugs. 1/6

Resentment for this knowledge must be the root of tennis elbow.

I'm in.

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

Trump & Musk are making massive cuts to the National Institutes of Health. I know there is a lot going on right now, but this is one of worst things they have done so far, will affect cancer research and trials, the search for cures, innovation and competitiveness, our universities. Your lives.

If you are someone or know someone who: - Is knowledgeable abt 1st amendment rights - has organized a protest - knows anything about this sort of thing - lives in DC Please reach out

"it's difficult to read this as anything other than an attempt to crush scientific research in the US. The harm that will be done to research (...) may be viewed as a bonus by a populist political movement that has shown a consistent disdain for expertise." arstechnica.com/science/2025...

I have not seen a crisis of this magnitude since yesterday

Insanity.

Conservatives have done a helluva job vilifying Democrats in leadership positions in a way that has convinced many Americans that liberals are corrupt. Why have we failed so miserably at pointing out that the scale of corruption isn't even close compared to the current GOP?

I am not a political expert - but it is curious how the president of South Korea seemed to try to pull some unconstitutional garbage and the whole political system was like "nah not on my watch." And we have an unelected Nazi egomaniac with seemingly unfettered access to the levers of power and data

Tear away clothes are having a moment at the Grammys.

Serious question for those that have a greater insight into politics - Does writing to Senators and members of Congress do anything? Especially if they seem ideologically aligned with what I would write? Are there key words that I should use? Do I just focus on my district/state or others as well?

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Before trying to get a bunch of scientists to leave their jobs voluntarily, one should consider that many of us completed our advanced degrees PURELY OUT OF SPITE.

Many of you may not be familiar with #NIH grants. Here are some facts to help you understand the magnitude of this disaster. 1) NIH grants are extremely difficult to get & not "free money". Researchers must have preliminary data & write detailed proposals. Mine was >200pages & took years to put

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

Lamar Jackson being the first person running out to congratulate Josh Allen with 20 seconds left on the clock. Class act.

Tony Romo is definitely a "legs man.' Specifically Josh Allen's legs. It's all he can talk about.

Join us in beautiful Leuven in May this year for #SAA2025. Submit your abstracts by 31 January. More information on submission guidelines and link to the submission portal via www.saa2025.com/Submit Please note that the submission deadline will not be extended, so please submit on time!

Watched an episode of MXC with kids last night and had to explain why a contestant named Hugh Jeffner said "The grotto is gross" after being introduced by Guy LaDouche during an event called Ball Busters.

Hi! Actual drug expert here. This is wildly inaccurate. Elon Musk is a bad person and it has nothing to do with drug use. Even more importantly, ketamine does not “share the same brain pathways as opioids” nor does it “interact with opioid pathways” …whatever that’s supposed to mean.

Textbook psilocybin retreat grift — it would be great to hear more MAPS trained facilitators speak to these kinds of dynamics that are extremely common. Maybe @rickdoblin.bsky.social has some thoughts?

Alcohol is the last hard drug it's acceptable to push on people and that it's weird if you're not a user. The alcohol industry also kills 178,000 Americans per year (the next highest drug by annual deaths are opioids, at "just" 81,000.) #alcohol #drinking #drugs #statistics

Santa came by last night and chose violence. So much for peace and joy. Merry Christmas!

Reflecting on these today, this thought came to mind, that the defining feature of all psychopathology is that there is no one defining feature of any psychopathology.

Wooden spoons in my Italian wife's family are like heirloom weapons passed from generation to generation. Irreplaceable artifacts.

Who needs defense when you have Josh Allen? Great game last night from another underdog franchise. Lions - Bills Superbowl would be bonkers.

We recently created a Spotify account for my 10 year old son and if his Christmas playlist is any indication, I feel good about our parenting.
