Hi cutie, you're going in my olfaction lecture! @currentbiology.bsky.social www.cell.com/current-biol...

for August? haven't gotten mine yet from NIDA 😣

Single-neuron projectomes of macaque prefrontal cortex reveal refined axon targeting and arborization The reconstruction of whole-brain projectomes of 2,231 single neurons from the macaque prefrontal cortex reveals refined axon targeting and arborization, providing a structural foundation for primate-...

Primate PFC projection neurons exhibit more refined axonal targeting/arbors compared to mice www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Time are rough as an ESI, well as anyone. Last year I had stellar reviewed NSF CAREER not funded due to cuts, now I finally have a fundable R01 score and *looks around* we can't have animal only grants? 🫠

I need scientists 🧪 to *THINK*: Do you really believe *only* $8mil went to research w/ transgenic mice, one of the most common tools in modern biomedicine?

Or maybe fascists are targeting trans people everywhere they can, including research using animal models of gender affirming hormone therapy?

thank you! I've been feeling the same way seeing jokes about this.. if only it were something stupid and laughable vs. extremely calculated and nefarious

I don't think they appear as cancelled until midday the day of (at least that's how mine went today) 😩

this is fricken amazing and the result of NIH-funded research!!!

I lost my job at the National Science Foundation yesterday, along with 167 of my colleagues, including some dear friends. This was the best job I've ever had, and I thought it would be my last. The PI community has been sympathetic and supportive, without exception. I will miss working for you.

@sbn-bsky.bsky.social has released a statement on current events. SBN DEI comm, of which I'm chair, wrote this statement to be people-first focused on the human impacts. I want to thank Peg McCarthy & the Exec Comm in quickly approving the document w/ few edits. This is why SBN is my "home" society.

Project 2025 is gutting medical funding that helped Russell Vought's own kid Its architect's daughter has cystic fibrosis—and benefits from a "miracle drug" backed by an agency he's attacking.

Incredible: Russ Vought’s daughter has cystic fibrosis and benefits from a “miracle drug” made possible by the National Institutes of Health—an agency Vought now aims to gut as part of the Project 2025 attack www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Just saw this news. Ed Stricker is a big reason I'm a neuroscientist today. I will always be grateful for the journey he took his students on in Intro to Neuro at Pitt. www.ssib.org/web/memorial...

if they're bragging about cost savings, they are likely cutting the savings from indirects from the total budget

Are you an HHMI-funded researcher affected by the cancellation today of IC3 (Inclusive Excellence 3)? Find me at mwadman@aaas.org or on Signal: meredithwadman.13

Opinion | I’m a health researcher. NIH’s pause on research grants could have a devastating cost. This is a potentially devastating event — not just for the scientific community, but for all Americans.

Influence of solvent, sex, and age on pharmacokinetic and acute behavioral effects of vaporized cannabis extract in mice The legalization of cannabis in several states across the US has increased the need to better understand its effects on the body, brain, and behavior, particularly in different populations.
