Hot take: A collection of papers on a given topic is not a program of research. You can publish endless papers, build a career, become famous, and yet fail to meaningfully build lasting, cumulative, knowledge.

Important call for action on the integration of research programs across species. Meaningful progress in the brain sciences will require cross-field collaborations and research that spans human and non-human animal models.

This could have saved the careers of so many luminaries….

My heart weeps for the countless data fabricators who were taken from us before their time.

This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.
