Gift to help cover tuition for students in lab medicine  - UW Medicine | Newsroom Gift to help [...]

A heartfelt thank you to an anonymous donor for funding tuition for senior-year clinical rotations for @uofwa.bsky.social Medical Laboratory Science seniors — now and for decades to come. The educational program, which awards a Bachelor of Science degree, is offered by the @uwsom-wwami.bsky.social.

Open faculty position (Assistant or Associate) in UW Medical Genetics. As you might expect, faculty often end up also interacting with Genome Sciences, so we're hoping for some great prospects! Note the clinical requirements for the position. apply.interfolio.com/176466

Our new preprint: The primate hippocampus parses experience into event-aligned neural states, creating a temporal scaffold for organizing behavior.

At #SfN25 ? Come chat at my poster — Wednesday AM (PP14; 414.03).

Breaking the jar: Why NeuroAI needs embodiment Brain function is inexorably shaped by the body. Embracing this will benefit computational models of real brain function and the design of ANNs.

Embodiment is the concept that the function of the brain is inexorably shaped by the body, a lens that is often neglected when neuroscientists study specific brain subsystems, write @bingbrunton.bsky.social and @tuthill.bsky.social.

How cuts at the National Institutes of Health could impact Americans' health Cuts and layoffs to the National Institutes of Health threaten medical research around the U.S., agency insiders warn.

The National Institutes of Health, the largest funder of biomedical research in the world, has fired 1,300 employees and cancelled more than $2 billion in federal research grants. https://cbsn.ws/4daiCrv

(1/2) Breakthrough study just dropped by the Allen Institute for Brain Science (@alleninstitute.bsky.social). Major shoutout to our brilliant NBIO trainees Leila Elabaddy and Sven Dorkenwald whose exceptional contributions helped make this possible! 👏

Cuts to science research funding cut American lives short − federal support is essential for medical breakthroughs The National Institutes of Health has been integral to scientific progress in treating countless human diseases. Without its support, patients will ultimately pay the price.

How far could Trump’s NIH funding cuts set medical innovation back? By decades, UW researchers warn The Trump administration has cut NIH funding levels and paused new and existing grants from the agency, which totalled $35 billion in 2023. That’s left critical studies of various illnesses and drugs ...

Many families including mine have been impacted by Alzheimer's disease. NIH funding delays and cuts could set research back by decades, including key funding for Alzheimers's disease research centers across the US. Almost half of these centers are up for renewal now! www.kuow.org/stories/how-...

I'm pleased to report that the board has now heard from NIH that the appointments of these three investigators and similarly situated folks are being extended. Thank you NIH! Delighted that the stellar work there will be continuing!

How to communicate the value of curiosity-driven research The burden of proof is on us, as researchers, to explain why what we do is valuable to society.

We must learn to showcase the practical significance of basic research, demonstrating how seemingly arcane investigations yield transformative applications, writes @tonyzador.bsky.social www.thetransmitter.org/outreach/how...

Proud to be a constituent. Thanks Patty Murray! It makes me feel like all my emails are having the intended effect.

GOOD - MacArthur Foundation moving to emergency footing for nonprofit funding w/ increased giving, flexibility & trust www.macfound.org/press/perspe...

I especially value them highlighting “flexible, trust-based models” that cover indirect costs at 29% & less onerous administrative requirements.
