Making it harder for people, mostly women, to go into these fields will just make things worse for everyone as existing shortages get exacerbated. Notice theology and chiropractor degrees are still considered “professional” while nursing and public health, eg, are not.
We are recuiting two new Associate Professors here in Oxford Biochemistry. Come join us! Reach out to me if you have any questions. Please repost! tinyurl.com/mr3m7bd3
I was going to joke about this and then decided it's too serious.
This is not how science is done. We don't "make proof"—we do experiments to learn more about reality, and we have others review what we did to ensure the quality and validity of the work.
...but have you tried slicing in 37°C "normal" ACSF?
Great Job - Great Colleagues - Great Science👍
Help us pick the next generation of @hhmi.org Investigators, Freeman Hrabowski Scholars, Hanna Gray Fellows, Gilliam Fellows
Relocation to DC is required, perfect for academic PIs looking for their next chapter

Come do neuroscience in Oregon! 🌲🧠 @uoregon.bsky.social University of Oregon has 3 TTF neuro positions open across departments, with applications due around mid-October.

1/ The Senate Appropriations Committee just approved key FY2026 spending bills 🧪 including the one that funds the NIH, CDC, and public education. ✅
But don’t breathe a sigh of relief yet. This is just the first step, and a shutdown showdown is looking likely. 🧵
This research has widespread implications for treatments of chronic pain, autistic hypersensitivity, sexual dysfunction, and other ailments.

New analysis shows Trump's budget would slash basic science research by roughly 34 percent.
The disastrous budget “would essentially end America’s longstanding role as the world leader in science,” warns the Association of American Universities.

This is what our tax dollars are paying for. Not healthcare, not education, not scientific research. The administration is dedicated to putting human beings in cages.
I am having a great time at my first SDB conference! If you are interested in PNS glia or SCP migration, please check out my poster this afternoon (B108, abstract 334)! #ICDB2025
Woo!!!! Congrats @cobarnes27.bsky.social, @yvetteefisher.bsky.social, Steve Bonilla, and everyone else - so much talent!
At Princeton University we are being clear about our continued commitment to diversity and nondiscrimination, in full compliance with law (as opposed to executive order) and consistent with our ethical responsibilities as educators for the entire nation. www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2025...
Instead of letting Trump pick them off one by one, American universities need to band together and fight back. Even being Trump's alma mater did not save UPenn from massive cuts.
Today's paper spotlight comes from Shaoxuan Wu and was published back in January. This manuscript sheds a little more light on the workings of the mechano-electrical transducer channel TMC1, specifically how it can be influenced by intracellular calcium. Worth a read! 📖 www.cell.com/developmenta...
What a tragedy
see you out there?
Importantly, NIH funding supported this work, and would not have been possible without their support
Excited to share our latest work! We show that lateral olivocochlear neurons dynamically change gene expression after traumatic sound & are crucial for normal recovery. The brain adjusts sound detection in response to experience! 🧠👂 #Neuroscience #Hearing

Thanks to all of the NIHers and their friends who reached out to me. I am still here (DM me or Signal jeremymberg.78)
I still have a very incomplete picture but based on what I have been told, the damage to NIH and to many wonderful people who work(ed) there is/was impossible for me to imagine

Our new work investigating multiplexing and mixed selectivity in auditory inferior colliculus neurons is up on bioRxiv 🎉 doi.org/10.1101/2025...
"Each year, NIH awards over 60,000 grants that directly support more than 300,000 researchers at more than 2,500 different institutions. In fiscal year 2023, every $1 of NIH funding generated approximately $2.46 of economic activity" www.nih.gov/about-nih/wh...
is it woke to want to end cancer?
Ultimately, if this were to stand, there would be two major effects: 1: a ton of people will lose their jobs, and 2: we will cede being the world leader in scientific research. There is no amount of foundation or philanthropic money can replace this.
On changes to #NIH indirect rates, there is a law in place that prohibits NIH from making such changes without the approval of Congress. See Division D, Title II Section 224 of The Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (Public Law No: 118-47) grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...
NIH cutting F&A to 15% of direct costs. From a typical rate of 50% or more. Hard to imagine that foundations and private industry will be able to compensate, especially in the short term. This could end a lot of research institutions.

Science is being dismantled before our eyes. Don't listen to those that say to be quite. Make your voice heard. Communicate with your reps. Talk to your neighbors. Post on social media. Do it all.
I know some are worried it will take away from lab work but for me it makes the science part feel 🔥🔥🔥
It is very easy to call your representatives’ offices. They have to log your calls and the call numbers are meaningful. You don’t even have to try to convince anyone; just call and tell them your concerns. They are there to represent you. Let them know what that means. www.usa.gov/elected-offi...
I know you hate this advice. I know you hear it all the time, but for gods sake you need to be calling your congressperson. Now. Today.
If you have a GOP representative, you need to call and ask if they approve of stripping congress of its constitutional authority. If they like being powerless.
