Russell Vought is working to advance a key part of his Project 2025 agenda by giving political appointees unprecedented authority over federal science funding decisions. Fight back by leaving your public comment by visiting this link: zurl.co/hdmlB Article: zurl.co/ijSUz

Trump administration proposal would all but end scientific merit in grant funding, critics say

Proposed in late May, the rule would give political appointees unprecedented control over federal grants for research, education and infrastructure.

📣 Fully funded PhD positions at MDC in Berlin, all of the below 👇 but also plenty of neuroscience 😉

Top story on the @nytimes.com app. A big sign that this all-important story is breaking into mainstream consciousness.

NYC Postdocs: join us for this month's Postdoc Night Science event! Having a science buddy is crucial for the creative process. So this time we're meeting at a bar near Union Square for some science buddy "speed dating". RSVP: tinyurl.com/3t5us6hp!

Unfortunately this is true, BNI is shutting down very suddenly and soon. We’re still sorting through the fallout, but many incredibly talented postdocs and technicians are taking a huge hit to their careers because of this. If you know of openings, even short term, I’d be happy to circulate them.

Posting for Vibhu Sahni: Due to unforeseen circumstances the Burke Neurological Institute will have to terminate its research operations 5/22. There are international postdocs on visas who are looking for new homes. Please reach out to Vibhu if you can help

Interested in the mechanisms of neurogenesis, and how they might converge/differ across species, regions, and life epochs? Check this out, wonderful location and great science! Please RT neuro-unige.ch/news/csf-mee...

Looking forward to an inspiring #NeuroFrance2025 and excited to be part of the motor circuits symposium! Stop by to hear me geek out about why cortico-brainstem neurons deserve more of the spotlight!

Attending #NeuroFrance2025 next w? Don't miss occasions to hear about motor circuits including posters PS1.088 (Wed) PS2.072 (Thu) PS3.094 (Fri) by the lab and symposium S26 featuring C. Rouaux, M. Azcorra Sedano, @jkaiser87.bsky.social, M. Michon and myself on Friday 9:30am! @socneuro.bsky.social

Excited to share our new paper! Our new paper in @NatureComms reveals how parvalbumin (PV) interneurons regulate stroke recovery by enhancing network synchronization. Read here: nature.com/articles/s41... #Neuroscience #StrokeRecovery #BrainPlasticity

Parvalbumin interneurons regulate rehabilitation-induced functional recovery after stroke and identify a rehabilitation drug - Nature Communications

The biological mechanisms of rehabilitation after stroke are not fully understood. Here authors identify parvalbumin interneurons as a key mediator of rehabilitation-induced stroke recovery and a drug...

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

🥁 Elisa Toscano idenitified a new subtype of propriospinal neurons and found a role in the execution of skilled movements🤸‍♂️. Great job from Elisa and everybody involved 💪. @alesantuz.bsky.social, @lowensteined.bsky.social. Check it out and let us know what you think: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
