Women, minorities fired in purge of NIH science review boards Scientists, with expertise in fields that include mental health, cancer and infectious disease, typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal.

Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic, according to an analysis by the chairs of a dozen of the boards.

Good morning #ACNP2024! Had enough neuroscience yet? Time to learn a little cardiology (as performed by neuroscientist. @Devineffinger.Bsky.social). Specifically, does chronic microdosing of LSD pose a cardiovascular risk by chronically activating 5HT2B receptors? Find out at poster W234 today!!

Fantastic talks in the #ACNP2024 #epigenetics session by @autumnskye1229.bsky.social on the epigenetics of stress and exercise across the lifespan
and by @eahellerphd.bsky.social on harnessing epigenetic editing to understand and ameliorate the long-lasting mechanisms of addiction

Studying sex differences in the human brain is challenging, but important.

Many thanks to @emilysingerneuro.bsky.social & the fab folks @thetransmitter.bsky.social for inviting me to contribute to the evolving conversation on this timely topic ⬇️
