1/7) Thoughtful article from @neuralreckoning.bsky.social here, very well worth a read! I am sympathetic to the argument, but not entirely in agreement (no surprise there, I suppose). Specifically, I take a different lesson from other large-scale science projects' successes and failures. 🧠📈 🧪
The Transmitter @thetransmitter.bsky.social · last yr.Large-scale projects run the risk of stifling scientific independence. Instead, let’s explore alternative mechanisms of collaboration, writes @neuralreckoning.bsky.social. #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/funding/neur...

Heading back from #FASEBOnTheHill and want to share what I learned and why I think all scientists need to be setting up meetings w their reps to talk about the impacts on science of the current chaos. #AcademicSky #NeuroSky @faseborg.bsky.social @apsphysiology.bsky.social 🧪

🧪🚨 NSF's Directorate for STEM Education (EDU) has halted making nearly all new awards since inauguration day. Among *many* other things, EDU runs the Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP). We need to protect the education & training of the next gen of scientists #StandUpForScience Thread👇🧵

The Open Notebook@theopennotebook.bsky.social · 2y agoWe have some exciting news! We’re partnering with the Reynolds Journalism Institute to build a resource to help journalists integrate more science directly into their daily work. It’s an extension of the ongoing work at TON to support local journalists. 🧪
This is the narrative 👇. We need to tell the stories again & again of how NIH & NSF funding benefits our neighbors. 🧪 #scicomm

jp flores (he/him)@jpflores.rbind.io · 2y agoMarch 7 @standupforscience.bsky.social happened. I now have a question. Reply to this thread w ur answers! What do we do with this momentum? Think innovative, creative, mundane, give us all your ideas. We have ideas, but this is for EVERYONE. I want everyone’s ideas.

I was happy to speak as a parent at my Town Board meeting today in support of our local children’s science museum. They seek additional space to expand their exhibits & reach a broader age range. 🧪 #scicomm
NEW: NSF confirmed that they fired 168 employees today, out of their staff of ~1,500 feds. This includes some people who'd finished their 1-year probationary periods, which were extended to 2-years last month without explanation. More to come.
I have been talking to the media, Time, Fortune, NBC, etc., to explain how the onslaught on science and NIH will impact the health of all Americans. Everyone knows someone who has cancer, heart disease, or depression. Spread the word about how cutting science impacts all. time.com/7216299/nih-...

The reductions target indirect costs that cover administrative and equipment costs.

My group would take at least 2 people interested in neurodegeneration as post docs bsky.app/profile/maxi...
Marco A. Maximo Prado@maximoprado.bsky.social · 2y agoWe are looking for motivated post docs. Projects on Alzheimer’s and Synucleinopathy. New mouse models, combined lightsheet/15.2T MRI and high throughput cognitive testing using touchscreens. Perfect for a recent graduate in Neurosciences or related field. Come work with us in 🇨🇦 👊😀🧪 please share.
I have work to do but I'm distracted by watching US scientific progress & leadership being irreversibly undermined because a few unelected malcontents are penalizing researchers for following legal requirements set out by congressional orders to augment basic research with benefits to society.
The NSF Broadening Participation webpage has been quite gutted. There used to be articles on the left side, including indigenous initiatives... and now they are all gone. The paragraph is also smaller than it used to be.
@jeffjacksonnc.bsky.social thank you for understanding the assignment. NC is a major recipient of federal research funding.
