#CNS2025 was such a blast! It was a delight to work & present our symposium on how VR can be leveraged in neuro/psych research! Make sure to check out the cool research being done by my fellow speakers @tammyish.bsky.social & @manusmad.bsky.social & Birgit Peña Häufler! Excited for #CNS2026 !

Cognitive Neuroscience Society@cogneuronews.bsky.social · last yr.

Finishing strong with the final set of symposia at #CNS2025! We're in Session 11 on harnessing #VR to study memory and navigation across the lifespan, including as a potential diagnostic tool for Alzheimer's

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

Many US students don’t know how to seek opportunities outside the US. With some help from our colleagues in EU and Canada, we could put together a consolidated website of PhD opportunities and scholarships outside the US, organized by field. There might still be time for this year in some places.

Nichole Broderick, PhD@nabroderick.bsky.social · last yr.

I’m having similar conversations and sharing international opportunities a lot. I’m sure for a lot of US based trainees that feels overwhelming. I moved to Europe for my postdoc.Happy to chat with any trainees about my experience if it would be helpful.

If you're in the US, considering Europe for your PhD, and you identify as a minority, I will chat with you and review any application documents you need 🧪

Important! Fantastic story by @claudia-lopez.bsky.social www.thetransmitter.org/policy/exclu...

Exclusive: NIH appears to archive policy requiring female animals in studies

Such a shift would “put us back in the dark ages in terms of our science,” says neuroscientist Anne Murphy, who helped to formulate the original policy.

In case you were wondering how the Trump admin was still freezing NIH funds, despite court orders, this is how. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Revealed: NIH research grants still frozen despite lawsuits challenging Trump order

The Trump administration is exploiting a loophole to keep a funding freeze in place, leaving researchers in limbo.

To all people who value science as a source of truth, cures for diseases, and hope for our climate and future, here are 2 hard truths: 1) our current research ecosystem is already strained and very fragile; 2) If it gets broken it will take a generation or longer to repair. Here’s why: 1/n

BREAKING On Monday, Popular Information broke the news that the NIH had frozen virtually all grant funding in violation of 2 federal court orders On Wednesday, NIH leadership distributed a memo, acknowledging that its funding freeze was illegal and directing staff to resume issuing grants.

8. It is difficult to overstate what a catastrophe this will be for the US research and education systems, particular in biomedical fields. It is deliberate and wanton devastation entirely out of scale with any concern about DEI activities on campuses. The goal is destroy US universities.

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%. I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

This is the end of science as we know it if it stands—15% IDCs for all NIH Grants. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

🚨RED ALERT for 🧪: The Trump NIH just gashed indirect costs. This is a direct attack on universities. “Pursuant to this Supplemental Guidance, there will be a standard rate of 15% across all NIH grants for indirect costs.” 😮 Just a devastating Friday night news dump. #scicomm #academicaky

@tammyish.bsky.social presenting her work on memory in different spatial contexts at the #Stanford #KnightInitiative Winter Symposium ❄️🧠

The #MorminoLab is now on Bluesky! 💙 We'd like to dedicate our first post to highlight the fantastic work by our lab at our favorite conference, #HAI2025. We had poster presentations by Joe Winter, Karly Cody, Isha Sai, and Jintao Sheng, and an oral presentation by Beth Mormino. 🧠

📌 Here’s something to put a pin in: ping @nicolecrust.bsky.social about what you are up to in science advocacy to receive a Science Advocate pin! 🧬 The pin has a picture of DNA on it. This helps you cover your bases without being too stranded!

Nicole Rust@nicolecrust.bsky.social · 2y ago

What a terrific way to spread the word! Please tell all who ask that they too can have a pin to celebrate and amplify their advocacy efforts (they just need to ping me with a description of what their up to - those emails and DMs make me smile so big)!

If you can go, go. 5pm today. Last night's cutoff of federal funding by 47 doesn't just mess with the recipients, it violates the Constitution and seizes powers that belong to Congress. It's a dictatorial attempt at consolidation of power in the presidency. www.mobilize.us/climateactio...

"Health disparities research" is a field of study where researchers look at how things like race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status can influence health outcomes. Now any gov't website about this says "page not found". This is a dystopia that I did not imagine that we'd be living through.

Today, the NV Attorney General and members of the legislature came to campus to speak to faculty and staff about immigration and ICE raids on campus. I am thankful that we have elected officials advocating for our community but also WTAF is this reality right now.
