Some ICOs have set deadlines for mid-July for transfers to occur in FY 2025. If you're a PI who is going to another institution this summer, email your PO and GM NOW to coordinate the relinquishment from your current institution with your onboarding at your new institution.

URGENT: FlyBase has lost practically all its funding overnight; even user fees are tied up in denied grant funding. 🤬🤯 Any lab using @flybase.bsky.social please donate using the link in post below. This incredible community, on whose backs our #Drosophila labs depend, can't be left out to dry.

Far from being a passive neighbor to the locus coeruleus, the pericoeruleus appears to act as a kind of micromanager of arousal, selectively inhibiting different subgroups of locus coeruleus neurons, writes @macshine.bsky.social. #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/attention/th...

New NIH policy eliminates foreign subcontracts. Eventually replaced with "independent awards that are linked to the prime award", but no details provided. Yet another obstacle for US researchers to collaborate with the global scientific community. So frustrating. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

New review from Kasey Brida on transcriptional & molecular mechanisms in drug-induced plasticity. Here we focused on mechanisms that determine which neurons are activated by drugs, and dynamic transcriptional cascades that facilitate plasticity in these cells. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Check out some of our locus coeruleus reconstructions - the average fully reconstructed LC neuron is about 30 cm in length (in a mouse brain that spans ~1.3 cm front to back)

THIS IS ONE NEURON! Jaw dropping. It distributes a particular neurotransmitter (norepinephrine) across the mouse brain; it’s a locus coeruleus neuron. @jeremiahycohen.bsky.social and colleagues at the @alleninstitute.bsky.social are using new biotech to see things never seen before.

🔵 Interesting new work from @davidweinshenker.bsky.social on why locus coeruleus neurons might be vulnerable to degeneration in humans (Alzheimer's) but not in mice. And a new approach on how this could be modelled in mice through human tyrosinase overexpression: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

$117M in DeKalb county and $328M in GA, loss of 1418 jobs. Plus the incalculable cost of future time lost with loved ones because of delays in treatments and cures. It’s not efficiency, it’s heartbreaking.
