Senator Maria Cantwell:

“[NSF’s] 55 percent budget cut is a deliberate dismemberment of America's innovation engine by Russell Vought and DOGE.

This is exactly the type of behavior you would expect from someone seeking to make America weaker and less competitive in the face of its adversaries.”

Pivot Fellowship Pivot Fellowship on Simons Foundation

Thank you @simonsfoundation.org for stepping up!

There's an open call for the next class of pivot fellows. If you are a faculty member with "a deep interest, curiosity and drive to make contributions to a new discipline", apply!

www.simonsfoundation.org/grant/pivot-...

Much appreciated! Thank you.

I would be interested in that too! i.e. designs for 3D printed brain with removable pieces. Please let me know if you are proceeding with this. Multumesc.

Many in biotech/private sector are boasting about their ways of funding and doing science

But they are staffed with PhDs and postdocs we train in our NIH and NSF funded labs in universities

With university labs lacking funds to train, the private sector will be profoundly harmed

I am a commissioner at the Federal Trade Commission. Earlier today, the president attempted to illegally fire me. This is corruption, plain and simple. I will see the president in court. My full statement:

The Suthana Lab (suthanalab.com , now at Duke University) uses intracranial electrical stimulation, recordings of single-unit and oscillatory activitity, TMS, scalp EEG and fMRI.

#WomensHistoryMonth #WomenInSTEM
Prof. Nanthia Suthana @suthanalab.bsky.social focuses on the development of invasive and non-invasive neuroimaging and neuromodulation in humans to understand and restore cognitive functions such as learning and memory.

The hidden gems (or eggs) make this paper more fun to read 🙃
Congratulations @dr-shlee.bsky.social !

July 2-5, 2025: [Call for Participants] IRCN and Chen Institute Joint Course on Neuro-inspired Computation

This looks like an exciting "Neuro-inspired computation" summer course, with a focus on some of my favorite topics, including criticality and neuromodulation.

Bonus that it's happening outside the US (in Japan).
