Excited for the opportunity to give a talk at

on September 10, 2025. 🤩

Wohoo!

If you’re a US researcher, now is the time to establish a plan B The scale of funding cuts in the United States means that countless scientists will lose their jobs. It would be naive not to start thinking about alternative career paths.

Do people consider this right now?

Thanks Drew! 🙏😁

It's finally out! 😅

International scientists rethink U.S. conference attendance Opposition to Trump administration and fears of customs run-ins are shifting travel plans

The last two-author neuroscience paper? Author lists on papers have ballooned, and it’s getting hard to discern contribution.

Curious what others think about this topic?

‘Silence is complicity’ — universities must fight the anti-DEI crackdown Higher-education establishments must not be bullied into abandoning their mission of diversity, equity and inclusion.

It’s always the same: If enough people rise…

…

I hate to miss it! Thank you everyone who's attending and thank you for reminding the public what science really did, does and will do for everyone in this country and the world.

Nooooo! Allergy season would be eternal too!

I’m Austrian, but this very much true for my country as well. Actually even worse. The FPÖ is the strongest force in parliament since the last election.

It seems to happen everywhere… Let’s not despair and stay vigilant against the far right!

U.S. early-career researchers struggling amid chaos Uncertain funding, government firings, and distressed universities hit vulnerable groups especially hard

I heard an interesting question yesterday: "Is Trump a Russian agent?"

Just received the email most of you have probably gotten already. My K99 study section has been rescheduled to "a later date".

I came to the US as a postdoc assuming this country was the mothership of science. Not so sure about that anymore...

The Trump administration’s attacks on scientific funding, restrictions on Federal scientist activities, and indiscriminate firing have caused chaos, panic, and harm. We need *specific* examples of harms caused by these policies to include in an open letter. Grants cut, projects cancelled, jobs lost. Feel free to send news stories, blog posts, or social media posts that mention these, as well as original contributions. Please send to WhySharksMatter @ gmail or DM me

Science (and science policy, and conservation) friends, I need your help!

Federal Register hold makes ‘end run’ around court pause on NIH funding freeze NIH-related updates to the Federal Register, which are required for the scheduling of study sections and advisory councils, are on hold indefinitely, according to an email reviewed by <i>The Transmitt...

Newly awarded NIH grants, and even grant renewals, cannot move forward without NIH-related meeting notices posted in the Federal Register, which are “on hold indefinitely,” according to an email reviewed by The Transmitter.

Have Trump’s anti-DEI orders hit private funders? HHMI halts inclusive science programme The Howard Hughes Medical Institute, a huge funder of biomedical research, has cut a $60-million initiative to boost diversity in science education.

Guess we’re all going back…

That sounds so cool! Can't wait to read it.

Women are systematically under-cited in neuroscience. New tools can change that. An omitted citation in a high-profile paper led us to examine our own practices and to help others adopt tools that promote citation diversity.

Women are systematically under-cited in neuroscience. New tools, such as cleanBib, anneslist and others, exist to help researchers counter citation bias across genders and other demographic divides.

Great to have you on here Jörg!

Excited to join Bluesky today! As an ion channel biophysicist, Professor at Duke Neurobiology, and Director of Graduate Studies I will be sharing my insights. Plus the occasional post of my private life. Please help me connect to my community by sharing this post.

A poster for the 11th European Conference of Comparative Neurobiology. It lists a number of people as organizers and plenary speakers as well as 22 invited speakers. The background is a multi-coloured section through a brain, with two rows silhouettes of the dorsal views of different mammal brains.

The 11th European Conference of Comparative Neurobiology will be held this May in San Juan, Alicante, Spain. Should be a great location to learn about brains and evolution.

Federal restrictions & funding freezes threaten vital research and halts scientific progress that benefits all Americans.

Join fellow #NeuroAdvocates in urging Congress to protect congressionally approved funding & ensure uninterrupted support for the scientific workforce.

Finally made the effort to delete my twitter account and moved to Bluesky. Can't wait to have fantastic conversations on here!
