The only thing we can control is submitting the best proposals we can and max out the 6 sub per year limit, and go in as Co-Investigator on as many other proposals as possible. Maximize the chances by maximizing submissions. Everything else is up to the fates and not worth spending mental energy on

Was curious about new model so today we demo'd the Keyence BZX-1000. Amazing machine. Improved speed and UI. Amazing how much tech has evolved over my career with the ultimate effect of improving accesibility and throughput of high quality microscopy for biomedical research labs. #neuroskyence

So... A friend was supposed to give a PURELY SCIENTIFIC talk at NIH within the next couple of weeks and it was cancelled because of a "new process" where all speakers/talks have to be CLEARED BY A POLITICAL APPOINTEE.

A neuromodulatory circuit-to-molecular pathway for reformatting aversive memories during recall Tan et al. identify a neuromodulatory circuit-to-molecular pathway in rats that updates aversive memories when they are recalled. Noradrenaline from the locus coeruleus triggers synapse-to-nuclear tra...

Excited to share our new paper:
We uncover a locus coeruleus→amygdala circuit linking β-adrenergic signaling to transcription regulation in defined amygdala cells during memory reconsolidation—+ stress or elevated noradrenergic signaling at recall can strengthen memory.

The UAB Heersink School of Medicine is seeking to recruit up to 16 new research-intensive faculty as part of a major strategic investment in neurosciences. Faculty will be housed in a brand new research facility at the heart of campus, which is scheduled for completion this summer.

That would make a lot of sense. Maybe we will get a NIH blog post explanation

Thanks Kurt. I was too quick on the draw responding. Do we think this is partially in response to volume of apps? Recently there have been efforts to redistribute grants for feeding, obesity, metab to try due to volume but never a restructure this expansive. Its interesting.
