For an educational project, I am looking for Interneting examples of null results in neuroscience research, tentatively defined as : "experiment found no statistically significant effect, difference, or relationship between the variables being tested" Respond here or DM if you have ideas or opinions

I'm moving to a new scientific home! I was recruited by the Max Planck institute as a senior scientist at the MPINB (mpinb.mpg.de/en/), starting Dec 1st. Very exciting new and old projects in the best neuroethology hub. I visited there earlier this month, and I really like Bonn so far :)

Eve Marder on memories, scientific excellence, rugs, and fading. elifesciences.org/articles/109... Insightful as always.

Finally, a fun collaboration published in Optica: opg.optica.org/optica/fullt... Fun times at the @mblscience.bsky.social , playing with optical toys with @edhirata.bsky.social and others :)

FlyBase needs your help! We ask that European labs continue to contribute to Cambridge, UK FlyBase, whereas US and other non-European labs can contribute to US FlyBase. For more information and how to donate: wiki.flybase.org/wiki/FlyBase...

Any academics in #Paris need a housesitter for any time frame in July-August? I can connect you to a young and trustworthy scientist who plans to be there then. DM for details

"Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year."

Just published, expansion in situ genome sequencing, where you can sequence DNA while still inside the cell, mapping its organization relative to proteins and other markers, with the help of expansion microscopy! Led by @jbuenrostro.bksy.social. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Don't panic and happy towel day to all

It's national limerick day Again I prefer haikus

At last, someone is monitoring all the unofficial collections of downloadable books and papers (scihub, libgen, etc). So we know where not to go to not get them. Don't tell no one: open-slum.org

The latest NIH grant chaos: NIH apparently sent stop-work orders to all *97* MARC and U-RISE programs in the country. These programs support underrepresented undergrads interested in health research careers. MARC dates to 1977. Over 48 years, the programs have supported thousands of students.

Elegant stuff!

Faculty across the country are watching. Will Harvard step forward, as the leader they claim to be— and fight back? Capitulation may doom us all… www.ed.gov/about/news/p...

Fun with worms on @WIRED www.wired.com/story/openwo... We've been thinking about how #celegans can revolutionize science again, together with @kordinglab.bsky.social @eboyden3.bsky.social @wormsense.bsky.social and many other (also find our preprint on #arXiv)

Do you know who Douglas Prasher is? Many don't, even though he is the person who cloned the original #GFP gene in the late 1980s. In my short history of plant light #microscopy I also cover a bit of his story - & why he is relatively unknown today, despite the importance of his work. See this 🧵👇

I know this site only reaches a subset of neuro/ cog professors. If you know a young professor in the area who would benefit from a week of targeted learning about doing good science, good mentoring, networking etc, it would be great if you could forward them: compneurosci.com/Neuro4Pros/i...

ExM FTW! I'm very proud of our involvement adapting it to use in #Celegans . It only got better and easier to use since Yu et al 2020 ExCel paper

Even in the 'good' days, students/PDs on visas were always worried that they would run afoul of the law and be asked to leave. I know - I was on a student visa myself. I can't even begin to imagine their fear and anxiety now. Time for all university leaders to collectively step up and speak out!!

Encouraged by so many people that showed up to support science at NYC #sufsnyc . But it's a marathon, not a sprint. Find links and resources here: linktr.ee/sufsnyc?utm_...

I'll be at #StandupforScience #NYC tomorrow March 7th in Washington Square Park from 12-3pm, come join us! Check out the link to find your closest event! standupforscience2025.org

Applications are due in two weeks (March 18) for the MBL's Methods in Computational Neuroscience course! 🧠 🖥️ Explore the computational and mathematical techniques that are used to address how the brain solves problems. Read more: bit.ly/3EZZ6Rs #ScienceStartsHere

Today is the day!! #StandUpForScience DC & Nationwide In Philadelphia 11am at City Hall. See you there! ✊🧪

More white coats, less white robes! @eddpasquier.bsky.social #standupforscience #standupforscience2025

It's the last day for applications for our Training Grants with @jcellsci.bsky.social!

GET IN DORKS! WE ARE GOING PROTESTING! #standupforscience2025 @standupforscience.bsky.social

I am volunteering at the NYC stand for science rally today! Come say high (I will be wearing a yellow vest :) ) standupforscience2025.org/local-event-... www.eventbrite.com/e/stand-up-f...

Rutgers, Rowan, TCNJ, NJIT peeps please spread the word! Also to Montclair State, Rider, and other NJ colleges @chiaraman.bsky.social @sophie-astrof.bsky.social @schindlerlab.bsky.social @ktelliottmicro.bsky.social @boehninglab.bsky.social @galhaspel.bsky.social

It’s happening, New Jersey! It’s time to rally for science!

Very interesting episode (and of course there are neurons, worms, and worm neurons)

Was just going to advertise another awesome summer course for people starting their labs: safelabs.info -- related to the one we are organizing compneurosci.com/Neuro4Pros/i... - if you have a new lab this is a good year.

No worms!?!! But still looks like a super cool course. But still, no worms? Missed opportunity for an easy upgrade.

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%. I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

Starter packs are still valuable but there is now a mature set of communities @bsky.app So maybe for the last time (unless things change) An encyclopaedia of starter packs relevant to 'mechanistic' biomedical science (>100 now!)... ...including collective nouns docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Expansion is where it's at!! This was a fun collaborative effort to write :)

If you don't fit in, that could actually be your biggest advantage for having new ideas. ADHD, dyslexia, narcolepsy, etc.. anything that makes you different is of tremendous value when it comes to being creative. open.spotify.com/episode/1b1k...

Given the current flood - I think this convenient starter pack search engine needs another bump: blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack... HT @christiangebhard.com

@kordinglab.bsky.social can save you an hour of annoying paperwork (and, ehm, can someone at NSF adopt this tool and skip the middle man?)
