We're proud to introduce Brainbow, a new Slack workspace for LGBTQIA+ people in neuroscience worldwide. Brainbow aims to provide a safe space, even for those in the closet (emails & names are optional). It also includes channels for communities within the LGBTQIA+ umbrella (eg, trans/non-binary) 1/2

I would really like to know what the consequences will be.

The Thermo Fisher situation keeps getting worse. We've now collected 450+ problematic images presented as verification data in TF's antibody catalog. This includes: 🖌️ Dozens more images with duplications or painting 🖨️ Hundreds of blots that all share the same background (behold slideshow below)

100% this!

🚨🧪🧵URGENT INPUT NEEDED: NIH asks input for next strategic plan-including emphasis on non-animal models (NAMs) to replace animals. Per NIH insider, anti-animal responses now outnumber scientists 200-700x. Please please provide input. Deadline: May 26, 11:59 PM ET. grants.nih.gov/news-events/...

@sfn.org Mika Jones, one of our amazing undergrads, will be sharing some preliminary work on adolescent tripartite development across cortical subregions. Sunday afternoon poster session at B23!

@sfn.org Check out Saturday afternoon poster session. Olivia Coulter will be presenting her work at C24 demonstrating how PAP-synapses structurally and functionally decouple following alcohol and how it can be restored to rescue behavior!

Well, study section is officially cancelled :(

Does everyone know there is a comment period re: changes in animal research at NIH? I didn't. Closes July 14. The scientific community need to respond en masse. I asked university leadership to distribute to reach our colleagues not on social media, you can too go.pardot.com/e/858023/duc...

Indirect Costs at NIH . . .

I wasn’t planning on spending part of a Saturday writing about cost accounting principles and the like, but NIH-world was hit with a doozy of a policy announcement on Friday night:

I just reached out to my senators about the NIH situation. If you need to find out how much impact NIH has in your state in terms of dollars in and their economic impact here's a link: www.unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-in-your-...

Wonderful seeing @katiew.bsky.social bring her addiction science and treatment wisdom to the PBS News Hour last night! (plus, so nice to get a plug for reductions in drinking as a valid tx goal out to a national audience) www.pbs.org/video/rethin...
