"He sent it out to around a half-dozen potential referees, but before any of them accepted his request, AIRA started sending out its own reviewer requests to other researchers, Okun says. Two referees AIRA contacted—who had no relevant expertise, according to Okun—accepted the referee requests."

An associate editor of Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience has resigned in protest of the publisher’s artificial-intelligence system, arguing that its misuse is undermining academic integrity at the journal. By @dalmeet.bsky.social www.thetransmitter.org/publishing/e...

Hey, state of Georgia, can you change your name? There's of course the confusion that happens with the country, but that's not a serious confusion, not a sufficient reason to change the name. The real reason is because hey, you're named after King George. Weird. Un-American. Idk what to change it to

It's always nerve-wracking when someone attempts to replicate your findings. So I'm very excited to see this exciting paper by Adam Parker, replicating our findings of enjoyment links to comprehension, and using eye tracking to gain insight into mechanism! doi.org/10.1038/s442...

What has changed in mama bear brain (well, actually mice) to make her risk her life to attack a potential threat and protect her young? Oxytocin is the key! Happy to share our new study led by two awesome postdocs: Takashi Yamaguchi and Rongzhen Yan. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The neural mechanisms supporting the rise and fall of maternal aggression - Nature

In mice, female aggression is governed by an amygdala–to–medial hypothalamus circuit that is strengthened during pregnancy and is dynamically amplified by oxytocin during lactation.

📊 New NBER data: China's share of top-journal publications rose from near zero to 32%. The U.S. fell from 60% to 24%. Do not just tell your reps "fund NIH." Ask why FY2026 awards are at a fraction of historical rates when Congress already provided the funding. grant-witness.us 3/3

📉 FY2026 is worse. NIH has made 10,195 awards so far. NSF has made 613. Six hundred thirteen. Congress appropriated the money. The agencies are not spending it. Grant freezes. NOFO collapse. Staff RIFs. Review cancellations. You can win the budget fight and still lose the funding war.

🚨 Congress held NIH and NSF budgets roughly flat. Scientists celebrated. Here is what actually happened. NIH awarded 4,641 fewer grants in FY2025 than the 4-year avg. New awards dropped 14%. Over $1.3B never reached investigators. NSF awards fell 22%. The money was there.
