Love this @mike_yassa. Agree on many levels!
DEI is under fire… but may be we need something better. Read my take in @insidehighered insidehighered.com/opinion/views/… #DEI #AcademicTwitter

We are recruiting multiple research assistants in the Laboratory for Child Brain Development at Wash U! This is an idea position for research experience before entering graduate/medical school. Please share widely!
Happy to announce that my lab was able to reopen our research assistant position. This is an idea job for those interested in developmental cognitive neuroscience who would like to attend graduate school or medical school. Please share widely!
Visualization is not just a means of quality assurance; it can be a valuable tool for discovery and insight. Find-viz supports multiple file formats, volume and surface plotting, time course visualization, and basic preprocessing/analysis features.

This is Eric Kandel. He's a professor at Columbia, Jewish, and Nobel laureate for his work on the biological basis of memory. When he was 8, his family fled Vienna when the Nazis took over. And now we are defunding his lab in the name of fighting antisemitism.
Today #NIH is terminating more than $250 million in funding—including more than 400 grants—to Columbia University following directives from the Trump Administration’s Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism. The cancellations are due to Columbia University’s continued inaction…
The NIH is pulling the plug on life-saving science because of student protests @ Columbia University. This move doesn't protect anyone. Its goal is to suppress free speech. Whether or not you agree w/ the protesters is not the point. The point is to silence & instill fear

#WhyScience Today, I am launching a 100-day Twitter/X campaign highlighting the importance of science, academia, and academic research in the U.S., with one tweet per day. Please help to increase visibility by liking, retweeting and adding to it.
I think it says something that so many scientists noticed Pubmed was down on a random Saturday afternoon in March Scientists noticed because: (1) we rely on Pubmed to look up info and (2) because scientists are working around the clock to solve health problems. Keep us working.
So what's happening with medical research in the US? This is the cumulative award count from the NIH for the year. Doesn't look so good. But it gets worse. 1/
This breaks my heart 💔 Some of my most successful trainees were Pitt PhDs, and I helped run the neuroscience grad program for a few years - one of the best & largest in the country Scientific progress will halt if we stop training the next generation wesa.fm/health-science…
Such a sad loss for the developmental community. Clancy was such an amazing scholar and always so kind to junior colleagues.
Celebrating Clancy Blair - the developmental psychology community mourns the loss of Clancy Blair, a scholar whose groundbreaking research and compassionate mentorship have left an indelible mark on our field. @NatalieHBrito @AnnieBAitken isdp.org/the-developmen… via @devpsybio
A personal story about how the potential grant funding freeze might affect science. Right now, I'm in my fourth year of a 5-year NIH grant and my last year of funding is supposed to start February 1st. I'm supporting a postdoc, two graduate students, and two lab managers
I need people to understand how difficult it is to get an NIH grant. You spend months writing a proposal, following strict guidelines that include a detailed multiyear budget, bios of everyone on your team, plans for participant safety & ethical conduct. Then you send it off -1/n
A driving assumption behind the admin's proposed restrictions on grants & aid seems to be that any use of "DEI" signals a political agenda that is antithetical to conducting good research. Let's unpack that. Why would DEI language be used in a grant?
