MRC instructs grant review boards to slash funding rates - Research Professional News Boards asked to recommend just three applications for funding, as BBSRC also suspends calls

Both MRC and BBSRC responsive modes now withdrawn until further notice. Existing applications unlikely to succeed (late 2025 round expecting 1-5% success rate).

Listen, I get that UKRI wants to pivot. But killing both at once is devastating.

Let's hope at least one opens by summer... #AcademicSky

Same… but in English and Welsh!!

Registered Reports: Experimental Physiology <em>Experimental Physiology</em> journal reports novel insights into homeostatic and adaptive responses in health, and research into pathophysiological mechanisms in disease.

Experimental physiology (also Wiley) does physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/toc/10.1... Caught me by surprise!!

Who wants to be a postdoc in Cardiff?

Great place, great looking project, fantastic PI✨

Thank you, @solyas.bsky.social!

TMSMultiLab survey TMSMultiLab is a community of ~70 researchers using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). We aim to share methods code and data, to reach consensus & encourage best practice in TMS research methods...

To find out about how #TMS #BrainStim users collect, analyse & share their data, we've made a very brief TMS survey:

It should take you less than 5 minutes & does not ask for any personal information.

We'll use the answers to plan our future work.

Please share!

We are recruiting a postdoc for an exciting multi-disciplinary project that explores the use of quantum sensors to measure muscle behaviour - looking for someone with skills in ultrasound, mocap, and EMG - funded by QLD Government's Quantum 2032 Challenge uq.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/uqcare...

Like many others, we’ve left X so we’re new around here - and with a new name too (formerly Dunhill Medical Trust). We’re looking forward to connecting with those who have great ideas and methods for improving the health and well-being of older people.

Congrats @tobyellmers.bsky.social !
