A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to the 2026 #FBIScholars Awardees! The FBI Scholars Award gives both young & established investigators the freedom & flexibility to explore the most audacious ideas in brain science. THANK YOU to our amazing donors w/o whom this award would not be possible!

A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to @ericjnestler.bsky.social on being named Interim Dean of the Icahn School of Medicine! As we express great enthusiasm for Dr. Nestler becoming Dean & the exciting time ahead, please join us in thanking Dean Charney for his extraordinary service & commitment to Mount Sinai.

Please join us in congratulating Dr. Roland Friedel (@labfriedel.bsky.social), an internationally recognized expert in the field of axon guidance molecules & brain tumor research, for his promotion to Professor in Neuroscience & Neurosurgery. #FriedelLab👉 labs.neuroscience.mssm.edu/project/frie...

The NIH’s new imposed standard indirect cost rate threatens life-saving brain & behavior research that benefits millions of Americans. SfN, with other scientific organizations,urge reversal of this policy & implore Congress to protect critical research infrastructure. Full statement: bit.ly/4jVJnCL

The ACNP has joined forces with other brain and behavior organizations in opposition of the NIH imposed standard indirect cost rate. acnp.org/about-us/st...
