This is absolutely terrible news. With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately. h/t @merz.bsky.social

I’ll say it: websites should let you sign in if you got your password wrong but you were still kind of close

Brain/behaviour people - come to beautiful Scotland - we are recruiting in psychology and neuroscience across all grades! Closes May 12. Details below, and please re-post 🙏 www.nature.com/naturecareer... More about us here: www.gla.ac.uk/schools/psyc... #neuroskyence #neurojobs

While US science drifts toward isolationism, Europe opens its doors: ‘MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships are open to researchers worldwide—any nationality, any career stage.’

Choose Science. Choose Europe. A new Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowships 2025 call is now open. With a budget of €404.3 million, it will support around 1,650 researchers from Europe and beyond. Apply by 10 September → europa.eu/!fBTMgF

Europe’s choice is clear. To put science at the heart of its economy. To become the home of scientific freedom and collaboration. And to welcome talent from all over the world. I’m glad to present the first elements of our Choose Europe Initiative. → europa.eu/!TTbWbJ

I don’t know which academic needs to hear this but yes you should absolutely email other academics just to tell them you enjoyed their article/book/chapter. Just do it. Don’t overthink it. Hello So-and-so, just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed ‘Title’. Hope you’re well. Best, You. Done.

This is where it starts with research interference 👇 #NEJM being threatened by the administration for medical research publications. Only peer reviewed studies conducted by approved research protocols can be considered science. Science is fact, not opinion. This is outrageous 👇👇

My lab has several postdoctoral fellow and software engineering positions available. Please email me if you’re interested.

the ERC has added a million euro for researchers moving to Europe.

🧪 The Sjöström Lab in Montreal is looking for a postdoc! We study cortical circuits, synaptic plasticity, and NMDAR signalling using custom 2-photon microscopy and optogenetics. We seek candidates with strong patch-clamp and/or 2-photon imaging expertise, and a relevant publication track record.

We are looking for a PhD student! If you are interested in Drosophilids, systematics, bioinformatics, fiddling with museum specimens of old/weird flies, and chemosensation, then maybe this is for you! Please rebutterfly(?)! Apply below. lu.varbi.com/en/what:job/...

@ardemp.bskyverified.social reminds us what the US has meant for science and what is at stake. Read, repost, speak out. This is how it’s done.

Continuing a project that a former student left unfinished

Marek is recruiting! Fantastic opportunity to be part of innovative research on human 🧠 development (and join our neurscience community at @stockholm-uni.bsky.social ).

We're disappointed to see Ben Barres's powerful book "The Autobiography of a Transgender Scientist" among the ~400 titles removed from the Naval Academy Library. Needless to say, we're proud to have published his book and will keep it — and his memory — alive.

👇🏻Looking for a postdoc position? Want to do some truly innovative research on schizophrenia and the adolescent 🧠? How about a great boss? Jens has it all! Check it out.

Found a neuroendo lab in the UK or abroad whose work you love? Apply for up to £5000 for travel and accommodation with our research visit grant. Deadline: 1 March 2025 More: www.neuroendo.org.uk...

@thetransmitter.bsky.social wants to hear from neuroscientists around the world to find out where they get their funding for basic research. #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/funding/who-...

Spread the news! Grants available to recruit scientists from outside of Europe to Sweden 🇸🇪 🧠 Please re-post.

Are you an established (”distinguished”) researcher outside Europe? Thinking of moving here for some reason? Grant opportunity just dropped: www.vr.se/english/appl...

FACULTY JOB ALERT! The Albert Einstein Dept of Neuroscience is hiring a new assistant professor in any area of neuroscience! We have funds specifically earmarked for this search. #Neuroscience #AcademicJobs #NeuroSky Job just posted: faculty-einstein.icims.com/jobs/17175/f... Please share widely!!

Lab meeting. We’re putting the band(s) back together! @stockholm-uni.bsky.social

We are going!... spread the word, help defend science!

Manifestation outside the US Embassy Sweden in Stockholm on sunday. www.facebook.com/events/18310...

TODAY IS THE DAY! 🧪☀️⬇️ Join us at the Lincoln Memorial or your local site to Stand Up for Science!

Lesson from history: Staying silent will not save you. #standupforscience

Congratulations to these two outstanding physician-neuroscientists! Many people now are familiar with the fascinating fundamental research of @michellemonje.bsky.social but most people probably don't know she is a truly great physician. I'm fortunate to be inspired by her every day, in every way.

Dear universities, scientists, lawyers, farmers, workers, artists, doctors... Being silent won't protect you.

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.

Tour de force.

Incredibly disturbing. And the cost will be felt long beyond US borders. Devastating effects on world science. Resist.

We are hiring a research assistant! Come join our ongoing project investigating the PFC-striatum pathway in cognitive flexibility. Head-fixed behavior, Neuropixels, optogenetics, and viral circuit tracing etc ki.varbi.com/en/what:job/.... Please spread.

This is a five-alarm fire 🔥 for US science 🧪. (We keep saying that, but it keeps being true 😭.) Trump and Musk are blocking *ALL* NIH grants ‼️ by "exploiting a loophole in the process"—stopping study sections & council meetings. Every biomedical researcher in the country should be screaming. 1/
