A powerful DPN Perspective from @umarchatterjee.bsky.social, @mayaschumer.bsky.social, @deffinger.bsky.social, @viscidula.bsky.social, Noel Vest, Michael Cahill, Brandon Staglin, & @ericjnestler.bsky.social.

DPN is grateful for the authors' dedication to writing this!

Researchers with lived experience of mental illness/SUDs bring vital insight to our field, yet remain underrepresented and face barriers to participation & leadership

This Perspective calls for removing such barriers & proposes reforms to build inclusive environments

Submitting a rec letter on the same website I submitted my grad school applications on is a) a very full circle moment and b) bringing up some stressful memories lol

The Michigan church shooter reportedly has a flag on his truck that said "F**k Biden". That means he was probably Pod Save America fan who was frustrated with Biden's decision to run for reelection.

obviously not a queen tide

Kirby’s the same way. Super frustrating.

Congrats. I didn’t qualify for Pell Grants. I got plenty of merit scholarship offers at smaller schools that didn’t have the research opportunities that I had at A&M.

I was in the honors college. None of my friends were republicans. And yes, at 18, it did matter to me where the school was.

I wanted a college town experience (no UT and Rice), my parents paid for my degree and I wasn’t going to ask them for extra or take loans out for private tuition, and A&M is a top research university, which was necessary for my future career. I did not qualify for tuition assistance.

Breaking news: a campus of 60,000+ students is not a homogenous population. 🙄

Signed, disappointed A&M grad who did indeed attend for a STEM education and is certainly not a Christian nationalist (nor are any of my college friends).

And I would never want to get between Ted and a trip to Cancun when there’s an emergency in Texas

Yesterday my bottle of cresyl violet mysteriously broke. It looked exactly like this poster and the floor in front of my bench now looks like I murdered Barney. Perhaps a serial criminal.

Congratulations to Cristina Lau, PhD candidate in the Espinosa Lab, for receiving an NIH F31 grant for her project, "Deciphering Central Nervous System Autoimmunity in Down Syndrome." We look forward to seeing these exciting discoveries!

These are real early career scientists, many of whom have had their careers and lives turned upside down by arbitrary and capricious grant terminations. They received their K99/R00 awards through a highly competitive program with no set-aside funds. I show a dare I-say mosaic below with ~1/4 of the MOSAIC scholars to depict what is at risk.
