npj Parkinson's Disease - Race and ethnicity matter! Moving Parkinson’s risk research towards diversity and inclusiveness
Congratulations to Sara Siddiqi for her hard work and perseverance on getting this out....It took so long for this paper to be published that I worried it would no longer be relevant to the audience.....I was very wrong....unfortunately! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Trump’s Attacks on DEI Get Approval From Some in the Left Wing
Many Democrats and activists are rallying to defend diversity programs, but others say they distract from deeper efforts to address inequality.
i'll be blunt, if you are someone who is vocal about the ways that diversity efforts "divide the working class" but silent about the ways that *actual racism and discrimination* divide the working class, then i think you're just an opportunist

Update: They were removed from our reviewer assignments completely. I'm so sorry to all those graduate students.
Anonymous to protect the identity of the NIH employee I spoke to...I am on study section next month to discuss F awards. We were just instructed to put the F31-Diversity applications on the bottom of our priority list for review because there is a chance we may not be able to review them. My heart is breaking for the grad students and their mentors that put so much work into these just for them to be disqualified and thrown out.
Just in case you thought that removing DEI criteria would mean that everyone is competing equally: NIH is removing grad students from underrepresented backgrounds from the applicant pool altogether. Their applications will not be considered. Other students, not from these backgrounds, will be.

list of banned keywords
🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion
The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.
I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.
“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

2025: Keep democracy alive. FrameLab New Year's resolutions
Advice for defeating the authoritarian threat
Tips to keep democracy alive in 2025:
1. Be Brave. Avoid helpless/hopeless talk. Authoritarians want you to feel powerless because it makes their work easier. Courage, faith, and optimism are essential. Fascism feeds on cynicism and pessimism. Starve it.

Visual highlighting how sociodemographic identities influence brain, behavior, and brain-behavior relationships.
Figure caption: key goal of research in the brain sciences is to capture relationships between the brain and behavior. When studying these brain–behavior relationships, it is crucial to recognize that sociodemographic factors, such as sex, gender, race, ethnicity, education, religion, spirituality, health, language, environment, age and socioeconomic status (among others), can independently and interdependently influence these reciprocal associations.
Thrilled to share our latest work on the importance of considering social identities in brain imaging research, now out in @natureneuro.bsky.social.

Happy #FluorescenceFriday !
Sharing one of my favorite images I've taken of microglia phagocytosis featuring a neuron whose DAPI is all too happy to be eaten.
