I’m not sure which academics need to hear this, but kindness costs nothing—and it makes all the difference. The people I remember and want to collaborate with are the ones who lead with respect and empathy.
Question for Academia colleagues: What does “pending" in post council period means on eRA? Should I get excited or depressed or what? #NIH
🚨 New NIH policy NIH will only accept six new, renewal, resubmission, or revision applications from an individual Principal Investigator/Program Director or Multiple Principal Investigator for all council rounds in a calendar year. 🔗 grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/n…
I can say from personal experience that this would be an *awesome* opportunity. Great people and mentors, really exciting data, and one of the most prestigious, high functioning and exciting places to study dementia. Any aspiring postdocs out there, take note! 👇👇👇

Talked to a reporter about this. I was asked how this situation affects our research. I gave the obvious answer that, since we are now broke, it's hard to continue the funded research. But the disruption actually goes beyond that. For the past few months most American…
NIH is slow to send funds for non-competing renewals. This is disrupting research in many labs, including mine. I was expecting payment for one NINDS grant 2 months ago, but I'm still waiting. I don't understand exactly why this is happening. It'd be impossible for us to…

Whelp. Maybe a good time to mention that I am about to open a new PhD position in Sweden that just happens to be exactly four years in length. Any aspiring PhD candidates in neurodegenerative imaging or multiomics who want to "take a break" from the US, please get in touch!
"although clinically meaningful, are statistically uncertain" 1) what? Are we making up new terminologies? This is not science.
These findings, although clinically meaningful, are statistically uncertain and thus further research is needed to clarify the extent to which complete amyloid removal can delay, slow, or prevent Alzheimer's disease dementia.

NIH is centralizing peer review of all applications for grants, cooperative agreements and research and development contracts within the agency’s @CSRpeerreview. This is expected to save NIH more than $65 million annually & make the review process more efficient.…
In other words, a 20% decrease in NIH budget will effectively kill new research for the next 4-5 years. No way for smaller or new labs to survive this.
"A 7.14% decrease in the budget leads to a 28.57% fall in the success rate." Here's the paper I was trying to find yesterday when NIH's websites were down [1,2]. If NIH's budget is cut 20% on March 14, the success rate would decrease by 80%.* [1] Simple explainer -…

🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻 As a PI, I don't even know if I will have same level of funding in 2 months to hire postdocs or not. Uncertainty hurts everyone at every level.
The Trump administration's efforts to slash research funding have US graduate students, postdocs and other early-career scientists fearing for their careers. Some are considering changing jobs or leaving the country. Others say them might abandon research altogether.…
