Those of us doing research related to women’s health have been hit particularly hard by the govt’s sabotage of the NIH. I spoke to WaPo for this piece, as painful as it was to discuss the reality my lab is facing. www.washingtonpost.com/science/2026...

Where U.S. science has been hit hardest after Trump’s first year

The Trump administration has slashed the number of grants from the National Institutes of Health, with far fewer focused on women, cancer and mental health.

Delighted to share our discoveries about one of the brain's neurotransmitter systems: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Together with colleagues at the @alleninstitute.org, we have learned a lot about a tiny cluster of neurons in the brainstem locus coeruleus (LC) that releases norepinephrine (NE). 1

Check out our new collection of Primers, which bridge the gap between psychiatry and neuroscience 🌉🌉 Each Primer translates a single concept across disciplines so that these communities can more effectively communicate and interpret findings in a shared language. www.nature.com/collections/...

The next few yrs are likely to be EXTREMELY bad for science funding. Given what we've seen from this admin. Expect the grant system to work differently for years into future, unless stopped: Much lower success rates, $ sent to Trump allies and away from univs and blue areas

💯 Unlike a year ago, we now know the strategies this administration is using to defund/disrupt US biomedical research. Sadly, other current events mean this issue is not getting enough media attention.

Mark Histed@markhisted.org · 5mo ago

There are many ways this admin can break the NIH/NSF grant system that sustains most US labs. They have many bureaucratic knobs to turn, eg: fed reg bans, changes to peer review panels, changes to SROs/CSR, new compliant inst directors, pres review of NOFOs and awards...etc etc

Happy to see this conversation happening. As someone who withdrew from their 1st attempt at PhD due to mental health, way back in the mid-90's, it was very difficult to overcome that obstacle when applying to PhD programs again. I was always seen as a risk...even after completing a masters degree.

Recapping the #ACNP2026 study group, “Centering Lived Experience in Psychiatric Neuroscience Research” We asked the panelists, what could NIH leadership do to be more supportive of trainees with non-traditional career paths, which is common among researchers with lived experience of mental illness?

Diversity supplements weren’t just for folks from underrepresented racial/ethnic backgrounds. Eligibility extended to first gen college students and researchers with disabilities, among others Cancelling these supplements limits opportunities for the next generation of scientists, as explained here

What a powerful conversation about what it’s like to navigate life and a research career with lived experience of mental illness. I’m deeply grateful for the speakers being willing to share their experiences and how we can all be more supportive of our colleagues #ACNP206 @acnporg.bsky.social

I couldn't pick just one, but I had such a great time at #ACNP2026! Thank you so much for the past travel award support!! Always amazing to see the reviewers for @npp-journal.bsky.social and @dpn-journal.bsky.social each year (and to be a top reviewer again this year).

Thrilled to share that I was promoted to Full Member! 🎉 🙌Grateful for the incredible mentorship, support, and community that made this milestone possible. Thanks to everyone who believed in me, including Tony Grace + @jaredwyoung.bsky.social for their letters, and to @acnporg.bsky.social 🙏 #ACNP2026

I should have taken a selfie after #SachinSays poured a drink all over me last night in classic fashion. But, alas, I did not, so here is a #ACNP2026 Atlantis hippocampus. Thanks to everyone for a great meeting - so many friends to catch up with, exciting science convos & a little too much fun 😴
