"Since Trump took office 13 months ago, NIH has posted only 84 NOFOs, down from 787 in the previous year. Many more are in limbo. NIH has 323 opportunities listed as 'forecasted.' ... many on the list were announced in 2024 and ’25 and still are not open."
Trump is lying.
I serve on the Intel & Armed Services Committees.
There’s no intelligence that Iran posed an imminent threat to the U.S. or the American people.
This is why it's not enough for Congress to just appropriate funds to scientific agencies. How the funds are or are not spent and when they are spent needs to be enforced.
The administration is playing games with our taxpayer dollars, when they should be going towards scientific innovation.
I think this is a *super* important paper - if this result can be replicated with other regions or tasks then this may come to form our core understanding of credit assignment signals in the neocortex!

10 hour study with me at Columbia showing lunch
Her in the library
DHS illegally arrested me please help Text against image of her knees
Columbia student detained today is a day-in-the-life influencer with 100K followers. Her stories right now go from her studying for a Genetics exam in a nicely edited "ten hour study with me at Columbia" video, to a photo of her knees with the caption "dhs illegally arrested me please help"
"For perspective, only 14,500 satellites are currently in orbit. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk now wants to dramatically increase that number by about 70 times, raising questions about the environmental toll from the required rocket launches and the potential for space debris."
Proud of my sister and brother-in-law for organizing their fellow residents to stand united against absolute crooks of landlords

At NIH, "grant awards must be approved by presidential political appointees. Review steps have been added throughout the agency, from review of contracts, review of formerly-perfunctory employee term renewals, review of travel, and even review of weekly money disbursements to grantees"
What a joke.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"
Now is the time!! ☎️

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand
📌NOTE: In the final year of Joe Biden's presidency 2 million jobs were created.
In the first year of Trump's presidency 584,000 jobs were created.
This is the weakest annual growth since 2003.
In other words, generationally horrible.
Trump is a terrible president, and an even worse human being.
A wonderful description of "Fascism" written by and for the men and women that confronted and defeated it in WWII

This is really cool, by increasing neuroplasticity, it enables repair of brain damage. Aka, returning, memory, skills, connections to broken musculoskeletature system.
This, along with vagus nerve stimulation are very intriguing ways to fix what is broken. 🧪🧠
Data centers in space??
Really, you'll fight it with every tool? Maybe you should have thought of that during the shutdown deal, which contained no punishment for the administration violating the power of the purse and withholding duly appropriated funding.
This is constitutional softball.
NSF will dismantle National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder 😡🤦♀️
