My PhD student Trevor Hewitt is conducting an online experiment into closed-eye visuals during psychedelic experiences. If you've had such an experience, please consider taking part at closed-eyes.com (it's only a short survey) - and/or help us spread the word. 🙏🏽🧠

Absolutely Virginia. The best way we can serve people living with persistent pain is by working together. Silos hinder and may stunt progress.

It's not just Northwestern and Harvard, I have gotten credible (confidential) reports from several other schools (including state schools) that the NIH is defaulting on federal commitments there too.

Seems like there may be a big story here for an investigative reporter willing to take it on

1 in 5 Americans depend on Medicaid for health insurance, but they don't all know they're on it because it may go by another name (e.g., Medi-Cal, Apple, BadgerCare). I identified the name of each state's Medicaid program. If you or someone you love is in one of these programs, call 202-224-3121.

Trump officials take steps toward a radically different NSF Efforts to shrink staff, budget, and focus have alarmed members of Congress

Another scoop from Jeff Mervis (@policyhound.bsky.social): NSF's ~1400 grant terminations have disproportionately affected PIs from groups underrepresented in science: women, racial & ethnic minorities, & those with disabilities. 1/3

Lately, I’ve realized that it’s hard to communicate the gravity of what’s happening in science right now if you’re not familiar with what the NIH does and the role it plays in funding research and training the next generation of scientists. This piece is my attempt to do just that. Check it out: 🧪

For anyone who prefers evidence over BS, some podcasts

#medsky

My go tos that may fit:

1. Decoding the Gurus @guruspod.bsky.social is good one

2. Unbiased Science Podcast @unbiasedscipod.bsky.social for evidence based science and health, plus debunking health misinformation

3. Science Vs @sciencevs.bsky.social sorts through BS, evidence and the grey areas

Neurobiologist Rita Levi Montalcini's career was cut short by the fascist regime but she persevered and won a #NobelPrize! May her example give strength to the scientists whose lives are being disrupted by the US' regime!

#DefendResearch We call on members of the worldwide scholarly communication community – researchers, policy-makers, scholarly societies, libraries, higher education and research institutions, publishers, funders, and...

I am deeply concerned with the pressure on scientists in the US: naked censorship, staffing reductions, and promotion of pseudoscience by the government.
I have signed the #DefendResearch declaration posted on www.defendresearch.org, under the number 3615.
Stand up for science!

Elon Musk is a proven danger to good science, but the Royal Society won’t say so. That’s why I resigned | Kit Yates It is vital to act, and I urge colleagues to do so. How can we stand by and laud this man while he undermines scientific integrity? asks academic and author Kit Yates

🚨I promised I'd say more on the Royal Society and Elon Musk, so here it is. 🚨

I've resigned my position as Associate Editor at Royal Society's journal Open Science in protest at their lack of action over Elon Musk.

Knowing that substack continues to pay white supremacy accounts and proudly defends doing so?

Yeah, I’m not clicking those substack links either.

Scientists' message to Covid vaccine victims after bombshell study Researchers at Yale University have issued a message to Covid vaccine victims following a bombshell study published earlier this week detailing 'post-vaccination syndrome.'

Bold prediction - The preprint that's generating these types of headlines will eventually be exploited by politicians to push covid mRNA vaccines off market. While a post vaxx syndrome may exist it's likely very rare & the study is too small to be conclusive.
