SPSP is crazy. So many presentations on climate change and environment, yet folks aren’t allowed to take the leftover lunches without tickets because all leftover lunches “must” be thrown away 🤔
Anyways is you see me, say hi!

My lab at UW Madison is hiring a new lab manager! I’m looking for a motivated and detail-oriented person to help run the lab’s day-to-day, including our ongoing neuroimaging and behavioral studies. This is especially well suited for graduating undergrads thinking about grad school. Link below
If we keep saying this generation is being destroyed, how will adolescents ever believe in their own potential? My TEDx talk is live on @ted.com. Changes in their brains, bodies, and social worlds create opportunities for young people to grow & thrive - with our support. www.ted.com/talks/jennif...
😂😅
Update: My contract won't be cancelled due to an internal fund. This is a personal relief after weeks of uncertainty!
Still thinking about: how answering deep questions in basic science often takes years, and how much we are losing now in talent, infrastructure, and intellectual freedom
New report shows that NIH grants fueled $95 billion in economic activity and 407,782 jobs in 2024.
That's not to mention the countless lives that biomedical research has saved.
Show me a better investment than that.

Crowd at Lincoln memorial
The @standupforscience.bsky.social DC rally is on.
What we are hearing from around the country:
"this is big!"
"biggest rally I have seen around here in years and years"
The public cares about medical research--and students, GenZ, and other people too are ready to stand up.

Philly standing up for science today! 🧪🧬👩🏻🔬 #standupforscience2025
In case you needed more evidence that social media may not be the thing we should be obsessing about when it comes to wellbeing…another meta-analysis of experimental data showing no link.
Image is of an official proclamation by the State of New Mexico with an official seal, declaring March 7, 2025 to be "Stand Up For Science" Day.
BIG NEWS for @standupforscience.bsky.social New Mexico! The Governor of New Mexico officially signed a proclamation declaring Friday March 7th, 2025 as Stand Up For Science Day!! @govmlg.bsky.social I stand for science, New Mexico stands for science. I'd like to know, what do you stand for?
Apropos of nothing, now is a good time to brush up on your rights as a protester or protest organizer. You are largely protected under the first amendment, thiugh there are limitations. www.aclu.org/know-your-ri...
I wrote about why the most important Oscar nominee is the movie about how living under authoritarian rule can feel surprisingly normal.
Thank you so much, Iris! It was great to meet you on interview day and I’ll definitely be reaching out soon for all your tips and insights 🤗
Could not be more thrilled to share that I matched at my dream #APPIC internship site at UPMC/Western Psychiatric Hospital!!!
I am indebted to my community and star mentors (@jenndsn.bsky.social and @prof-nick-allen.bsky.social) for supporting me every step of the way! Pittsburgh, here I come!! 🤩
Amazing! Congratulations Matt!! You will be with my awesome, cohort-mate Kellyn. Very exciting outcome 🤩
Troubling:
Congresspeople say they are NOT hearing from academics, or university administrators.
PLEASE SPEAK UP!
Oppose these budget cuts to research, health, student loans!

Tell others to do the same!
Great work as always, Monica!
DOGE plans to slash about as much ($4B) from NIH, and hence from universities and medical centers, as the government gave SpaceX ($3.8B) last year.
It's not about the money and government "waste."
It's never been about the money or government "waste."

If you are on a study section that will not be reviewing diversity fellowships but will be reviewing "regular" fellowships, your next move is clear. Do not participate in the review unless all submissions can be reviewed together. Reclassify diversity grants as "regular" grants & review them all
Still time to apply pressure before RFK nomination- come armed with data that speaks to Senators' concerns (your vote, state-level economy, etc)
A lot of folks have followed me after I posted about NIH funding. Glad you're interested in the topic!
You can help by contacting congress to voice your support for federally funded research and encourage them to increase, rather than cut NIH/NSF, funding in the 2025 fiscal year.
