Hi #BIBPSRollCall! I’m the Founding President of #BlackInBiophysics. As a neuroscientist/biophysicist, I study the roles of voltage-gated ion channels in the mammalian retinal circuit using transgenic mice, electrophysiology and high-res imaging 👁️ I love family time and anime 🫶🏾

Share science with your community...protest style! Calling back to the Teach-in’s of 1965, we are taking to parks, pubs, & churches to tell our neighborhoods about how the budget cuts will impact them!

👀 Alright SUFS fam...it's time for an Ask Me Anything "Host a Teach In" Edition!

❓Drop your questions in the comments and we will get them answered❓

Decimate the scientific enterprise in the United States = flag on Mars 🇺🇸

Myself and 7 other neuroscientists, including @annaintegrated.bsky.social and @stevenssostre.bsky.social got to speak with @thetransmitter.bsky.social about why we think Standing Up for Science is important and imperative. Check out or thoughts here:

The dismantling of NIH programs to increase diversity in the biomedical workforce and the abhorrent treatment of talented young scientists

ATTENTION

If you are someone who had an F31-Diversity (or similar) application submitted this cycle, please DM me here, contact me on signal (jeremymberg.78), or email me at jeremymberg@gmail.com.

Hi all, I am in contact with a reporter at Science magazine who would like to talk with a trainee or mentor who successfully applied for an equity/DEI-related NIH training grant or a training supplement but have not received the Notice of Award and probably won't get the grant.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.
