Evidence from 14 research funding programmes confirms that early winners tend to keep winning (Matthew effect). But the idea that an early setback makes you stronger later doesn’t replicate widely. buff.ly/UEtcRd4

eLife Assessment This important study reports the results of efforts to replicate two phenomena of significant interest to early-career scientists and scientific policymakers: the Matthew effect and the early-career setback effect. Several previous studies of these effects have focused on early-career researchers with grant proposals that fell just below or just above a funding threshold. Those just above the threshold were more likely to be successful when they applied for funding later in the career (an example of the well-known Matthew effect), while those just below were more likely to go on to have stronger publication records (the early-career setback effect). In this study the Matthew effect was found to be robust across funders, and to generalize from those close to the funding threshold to the whole population. The early-career setback effect was not robust across funders and did not generalize to the whole population. The evidence reported is convincing.

Dear CIHR Reviewers, pls keep in mind that knowledge users on grants see the reviews. If you tell us a protein/gene is not interesting/less important because it's rare, it reads as those patients aren't important.

Our review in J. Neurochem on how neurons regulate neural stem cell fates is live! The paper was led by our talented PhD student @dittmannwith2ns.bsky.social. This review was written as part of my 2024 ISN Young Scientist Lectureship Award onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Regulation of neural stem cells by innervating neurons

To “build” the brain, neural stem and precursor cells (NPCs) first proliferate, and then differentiate into neurons and glia (astrocytes and oligodendrocytes) in a strict spatiotemporal manner. “Main....

Fellow PIs: I noticed new students are not familiar with Microsoft Office programs as they grew up using ChromeBooks and not PCs. Are there free resources/courses to suggest to these students? I am not interested in using Google docs/sheets for data/writing as they lack many features

When you think you came up with a new cool idea to test in mammalian system, revisiting Drosophila literature never fails to discover it’s already been done in principle! Fly folks are always ahead of everyone 👏

While evaluating the concluding year, I realized it was grant-heavy: 12 grants submitted in 12 months! Two more are in development but slated for submission in early 2025. In 2025 I look forward to skewing the life-work balance towards life while going back to enjoying writing/editing manuscripts ☺️

Well, this is pretty neat. Sage has a tool to see how often your work has been cited in policy documents. 32 times for me, which is 32 more than I knew about. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
