The data is in: the NIH goalposts have shifted.
What were once almost certain fundable scores have become coin flips and what used to be likely grants have become aspirational, leading to fewer awards.
Another manifestation of how HHS policies have led to fewer awards and less science.

๐ thanks for saying that, I want to help out & feel a bit weird saying no to all review requests, but I really canโt justify this unpaid labor that wonโt lead to paid labor. I already feel weird working/grant writing full-time unpaid, but thereโs no way around it as Iโm following my lifeโs passion ๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ฌ
Thatโs so cool! Never heard of it, will have a look ๐
Yes itโs Valentineโs Day. But itโs also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

... go on and prove it
Don't let nobody clip your wings
Keep your head down, keep on the blinders
Tune out the doubters and all the closed minders
If it's in your blood, fallin' down ain't enough
To change who you were born to be
Gettin' back up, that's the only backup plan you need"
๐ค๐ช๐๐ค
"And you're hearin' all the talk about
'Maybe you should think about
What you're gonna do if it don't work out'
As far as I can see, there ain't no way to be
Somebody if you're just 'gon quit
So, if you got a fire, don't lose it
If you got a do-or-die dream, do it
If you got somethin' to prove, ...
This will be the SIXTH grant I'll write since learning of the devastating US #science funding cuts that cost me my job 1 year ago.
I'm proud of myself for persevering, grateful for the help & encouragement I get from ya'll ๐ซถ & for these kickass lyrics by Bailey Zimmerman & Luke Combs...

Iโm supporting @samwang.bsky.social (even though I donโt live New Jersey) - because heโs the type of scientist-as policy-maker that we so desperately need. Join me in helping him succeed!
Excited to share our chapter "Breaking the Tug-of-War: What Neuroeconomics Can Gain by Moving Past Competition-Only Models" with Yi-Hsin Su, Romy Frรถmer, and @ashenhav.bsky.social, now out in the new volume, "Neuroeconomics: Core Topics and Current Directions"!

Across seven incentivized experiments and a large reanalysis, we systematically manipulated the presence and type of post-choice feedback in repeated risky decisions to test whether feedback shapes behavior through learning mechanisms or through anticipatory changes in preferences.
Looking for Australian (UTC+10) individuals who would be willing to serve as mentors for the #DisabledInSTEM program as we have two individuals currently without mentors!

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. Itโs dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
