I am recruiting a postdoc at UC Santa Barbara for an NIH-funded project on the organization of lateral PFC function--across emotion and cognition--using representational fMRI & TMS. I’d love to find someone w/ a background in cognitive control & computational modeling to complement our team! 🏝️ 🧠 🧲

Presenting on contingency representations in PFC during WM on Saturday at SfN! Featuring fMRI and multi-area RNN modeling from my time with John Murray 🤓

And, recruiting a PhD student for Fall ‘26 in my new lab at U-Miami! Check us out here, and feel free to reach out: jam-lab.org (apps due 12/1)

Exclusive: NIH to dismiss dozens of grant reviewers to align with Trump priorities The move would undo years of work, leaving advisory councils understaffed, and without the full expertise needed for reviews.

This story was made possible thanks to NIH staff who reached out. I'm always looking for more sources, message me on Signal (mkozlov.01).

If you hit a paywall, making a free account will open the full story.

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine.

If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

🚨 It’s time to flood the zone.

NIH scientists just took a huge risk speaking out. Now it’s our turn.

My ongoing request:

If your NSF or NIH grant was terminated--whether at Harvard or elsewhere--please report it here.

NSF: grant-watch.us/submit-nsf.h...

NIH: grant-watch.us/submit-nih.h...

Our trackers are actively used in lawsuits and are often the only record that terminations ever occurred.

NIH cancels its first and largest study centered on women The Women’s Health Initiative has produced numerous influential findings

It would be scientifically catastrophic to end this decades long study with 42k women continuing to be followed up, providing unique opportunities to learn new insights into women’s health and characterize risk of many health ailments including chronic disease

This is incredibly cool: if you search for a condition that’s affected your family, the site returns stats on how much NIH has done for that disease, *and* a contact form for reaching out to tell your Members of Congress why you want to see them defend NIH.

Pass it on!

I've received additional confirmation, as well as an email I can share publicly.

See the directive NIH grants management staff received from Michelle Bulls, director of extramural policy at NIH:

Tell Congress to protect crucial medical research funding #saveNIHresearch ucal.us/saveNIHresearch

@uofcalifornia.bsky.social @ucsantabarbara.bsky.social

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.

If you are a neuroscientist, please use SFN's site to write to your reps about the importance of funding for science (they have letters ready to go, you can just use theirs or write/edit as you see fit): www.sfn.org/advocacy/adv...

Hey #neuroskyence, want to visit Brown and engage with our brain science community? 🐻🧠 There’s still time to apply for the BrainExPo (external postdoc) speaker series for this Spring! Visit bit.ly/CarneyBrainExPo for instructions on how to apply before the Dec. 1 deadline.

Finally fixed my app that plots null and alternative distributions and power for an independent t-test shiny.ieis.tue.nl/d_p_power/. I use this a lot in education to 1) teach that p values are uniformly distributed if there is no effect  1/5
