The team at @unbreaking.org have been doing tremendous work distilling news + context into briefs about the harms of the administration and movements countering them. I'm deep into some topics and found it so helpful to catch up on others, like transgender healthcare: unbreaking.org/issues/trans...

Our colleagues at NIH disagree with you Elon Musk. Their jobs are being cut, illegally, and those who stay are too afraid to speak out. But you ARE killing US research, whether you realize it or not

How to communicate the value of curiosity-driven research The burden of proof is on us, as researchers, to explain why what we do is valuable to society.

We must learn to showcase the practical significance of basic research, demonstrating how seemingly arcane investigations yield transformative applications, writes @tonyzador.bsky.social www.thetransmitter.org/outreach/how...

I sure wish that, at a time when the country to the south is shredding its higher education system, we in Quebec were taking advantage of the possible flight of talent. Instead we're doing the reverse.

SfN is governed by a Council and over 15 committees, all led by volunteer leaders dedicated to advancing neuroscience research, education, and advocacy.

Help shape the future of the field!

Nominate yourself or a colleague for a committee or Council position by Friday, February 7.

Was lazy about leaving Twitter, but can no longer justify it. So glad to see so many familiar faces here. I should have moved to Bluesky sooner!
