Point of no returns: researchers are crossing a threshold in the fight for funding With so little money to go round, the costs of competing for grants can exceed what the grants are worth. When that happens, nobody wins.

This report in Nature on the costs of competing for & administering scientific grants is shocking: "In other words, European taxpayers will have spent more on the funding process than on the funding itself, and the scientific ecosystem has been drained." www.nature.com/articles/d41... ๐Ÿงช

One of the central messages from the CRIISP Showcase in Oct: chronic pain affects far more than the body. It shapes identity, relationships, work, and daily life. Understanding these layers is vital for improving care and support.

Treating chronic pain early: psychological therapies rewire the brain and relieve suffering A landmark review shows cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) reduces the emotional burden of pain and makes measurable changes in brain activity.

Prof. Eccleston and team show early psychological support can rewire brain networks linked to chronic pain. The message? Treat pain earlyโ€”transform lives.

In 1956, Jim Watson told my father, a brown man, that he would never get a job at Harvard and it was a miracle he had been admitted . Harvard's Board of Trustees saw it differently & appointed dad as an Assistant Professor and Director of the Harvard Agassiz Observatory BEFORE he finished his Ph.D!
