The outcome of their actions will be final for the labs that disappear. Labs don’t come out of retirement.

Labs will start closing soon. And they ain’t coming back.

This was predictable, and we did predict it last summer when the multiyear funding policy first emerged.

This is how we know this admin is coming after science as a whole. Health equity, transgender health, mRNA vaccines… these areas are just the start.

That’s what I call regular sunglasses when people wear them on the subway.

Current NIH leadership want you to think they are using rigorous, consistent & scientific processes to screen studies to align them with agency priorities.

But the process that they have put down on paper is a sham.

It’s important to know NIH is not following its own guidance. Here’s why:

As Podcast Jay likes to say, it's a shame that the MAHA movt has become so politicized... by him.

Solidarity to the NYU faculty members as they prepare to strike.

University leadership must offer a deal that meets the moment: Stronger job security, higher wages, and academic freedom protections.

NYU, it’s time to give CFU-UAW a fair contract and also pay your RAs!

Societal collapse is rapidly accelerating, so remember to take comfort in the meaningless niceties.

Good scientists are leaving NIH.

Counter to the quote from HHS, NIH is struggling to recruit qualified scientists to replace them.

My own role sits empty. NIH cannot replace me since I am still employed but prevented from working.

This admin is gutting science.

NIH Says It Will No Longer Recognize the Research Fellows’ Union NIH leadership said the union β€œshould never have been certified,” in an email to the union’s leadership.

NIH leadership wants to strip worker's rights from the majority of scientists on its campuses.

But, the NIH does not get to say whether we are a union or not. We do, and we are no strangers to having to fight for our union. Time for a short history lesson. 1/n

Discrete Circuits of the Ventral Hippocampus in Threat‐Based Learning and Memory While the hippocampus has intrigued generations of neuroscientists for its contributions to cognitive and emotional processing, functional specialization along its longitudinal axis confers particula...

It’s believed that ventral hippocampus plays important roles in threat-based learning, but to which circuits are these functions localized and is there a logic to their organization? This is the topic of our new review. doi.org/10.1002/hipo...
