NIH is requesting comments on a new draft policy that may require human brain imaging data (and other data) from nih-funded research to only be shared via controlled access, & only with certain countries. I suggest neuroimagers read closely & submit comments by 3/18.

So proud of @meganspurney.bsky.social and team for this exciting new paper from my lab!
Younger adolescents' working memory performance benefits more from reward than older teens and young adults.
This occurs even though all ages report similar preferences about reward value and cognitive demand.
Check out my new preprint!! We investigate how monetary rewards influence working memory performance across ages💸 @katieinsel.bsky.social @camillephaneuf.bsky.social

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit
We are hiring a research specialist, to start this summer! This position would be a great fit for individuals looking to get more experience in computational and cognitive neuroscience research before applying to graduate school. #neurojobs Apply here: research-princeton.icims.com/jobs/21503/r...
There are approximately 1000 research groups on the #NIH campuses, including Steve Rosenberg's research group, which develops groundbreaking T-cell therapies for cancer.
Effectively all of those groups were suddenly prohibited from buying any (!) supplies last year.
That is on the leadership.
Are you a grad student who wants to give a talk at Princeton’s psychology department (in-person or on Zoom)?

Priority given to non-Ivy and URM students. International applicants welcome.
Deadline is this Friday (Feb 6)!
Academics vying for a spot in Epstein‘s world. There are so many. I feel the need to make a thread, so I don’t keep confusing them. 1/
The post-Me Too era has really taught me that the underlying issue with the persistence of sexual violence isn’t exactly women’s credibility, as the “believe women” slogan suggested, but rather with rape’s moral status. It’s not that people think it doesn’t happen. They think it doesn’t matter.
The extended version of my thesis procrastination project/subcortex visualization package is out now in both Python and R, now that I’ve graduated 🤠 This figure shows the 9 atlases included (and counting)!

needless to say this falls well outside the boundaries of authority established by the Homeland Security Act of 2002
Trump has been in office for one year. We at @nature.com did a deep dive looking at the administration's disruption of science in numbers.
Take a look—the numbers are staggering. By me, @dangaristo.bsky.social, Jeff Tollefson, @kimay.bsky.social, & help from @noamross.net @scott-delaney.bsky.social
Our paper on the ☀️ "summer slide" 🛝 is out now @pnas.org!

Summer slide is a replicable phenomenon across diverse datasets that's more than "forgetting" school material in vacation months, but effects of socioeconomic inequality are ➡️ 7x bigger! ⬅️

Very cool new work from the Iglesias group at MGH: A probabilistic histological atlas of the human brain for MRI segmentation (also available at OpenNeuro - openneuro.org/datasets/ds0...) : www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Here’s the key point: science almost never “rules out” every imaginable possibility. That’s not how the scientific method operates. You can’t prove a universal negative with absolute certainty, and scientists don’t pretend they can.
Yes, ChatGPT can help you write #rstats code, but so can this old Wiki I created with example code used for common data wrangling needs. Who knows, you might find some gems in there.🤷♀️

A new method uses high-resolution MRI to provide a noninvasive, granular view of cerebrospinal-fluid movement—even in the small spaces that surround blood vessels, which have not been studied before.
