Neuroscience advocacy groups on navigating DEI funding cuts Minority trainees are losing pillars of support, but grassroots organizations are stepping in to continue championing these early-career researchers.

Federally funded DEI training programs and funding sources are disappearing. Meet seven neuroscientists who are filling these gaps.

PLEASE SHARE πŸ’œ With uncertainty in federal research funding & hiring, we are offering *FREE* resume/CV reviews for early-career scientists in the US who have rescinded job offers or who risk layoffs.

If you feel this support would benefit you, submit resume/CV here: forms.gle/CCbbu2X5GJwH...

Contextual cues facilitate dynamic value encoding in the mesolimbic dopamine system Fraser etΒ al. demonstrate that contexts engage a model-based process that allows for rapid revaluation of reward-paired cues. They find that dopamine neuron activity is necessary for contexts to updat...

New paper out in @currentbiology.bsky.social with the inestimable @kurtfraser.bsky.social and @janaklab.bsky.social. We think this work illuminates an important way the brain dynamically orchestrates motivation, and look forward to testing new hypotheses this inspires in disease models.

the progression of AIDS treatment in my lifetime, from how terrifying it was as a child in the 80s to stories like this 40-odd years later, is genuinely one of the human race’s most awe-inspiring scientific achievements. it was a nonnegotiable death sentence for SO LONG

To celebrate the closing of my first year as a PI, I present the drastically miss-sized things I have ordered next to what I was trying to order, a thread.
