Today is my birthday. Study section was meant to happen but got cancelled, like many others. We haven't heard officially though. Turns out to have ss on your birthday is not a good omen.

If you are interested in synaptic plasticity, you probably know that Ras is important. But... which one? Would you have guessed that there is one Ras for potentiation and another one for depression? Check our latest publication in @embojournal.org doi.org/10.1038/s443... @cbm-csic-uam.bsky.social

There’s a viral story ab a green card holder getting deported. If you have a green card and travel abroad, never sign anything at customs—they can’t make you. I'm a green card holder. I’ve been stuck in those little rooms before, you'd do whatever they say to get out. DON'T tinyurl.com/4t32yr

I just got my first notification that a Diversity-based mechanism for which I applied for has been cancelled. And this was NOT NIH.

Dear tenured full professors: Stop saying "What a horrible time to be a junior scientist". Stating the obvious doesn't help.

Young researchers are essential for us to improve human health and society. The fear and confusion caused by current administration has real consequences that real people have to face. Help tell their story and support science across the US. #research #science #neurosky #neuroskyence #STEAM #STEM

We can and should continue to advocate for DEIA, no matter what, even if we can't write it down or say the words out loud.

The silence from our universities has been deafening. Tell them to grow a spine and stand up for their scientists! Top NIH funded schools: UC - [email protected] UW - [email protected] John Hopkins - [email protected] Penn - [email protected], (215) 898-7005 Duke - [email protected]

My occasional reminder to folks on tenure and promotion committees that there will be a cohort of people whose early careers were defined entirely by the pandemic and waves vaguely this nonsense, and it will impact their productivity. It can't not.

Let’s stop treating "leaving academia" as negative. Scientists train for academia, industry, or what suits them. Industry isn’t an alternative; it’s a choice. In fields like engineering, most PhDs go to industry, and no one calls it "leaving academia." We should train scientists for diverse paths.

And no contingency plans. No support. Not even a word from (any) leadership yet.

Great experience giving this talk in Spanish earlier today! Haven't done that in sooo long that it was a bit challenging. Fantastic audience and fantastic questions and discussion. Back in the US tomorrow...😔 I'll miss Spain so much💔

Makes me very proud to be from Asturias, like her 😊 And we both got degrees from Universidad Complutense in Madrid - where I'm coming back in a month to give a talk! (not that I'm comparing myself to MS 😶)

Trainees, do you have an amazing mentor (funded by NINDS)? Please nominate them for the Landis award! Your PIs also like positive feedback and nice gestures from their mentees 😊 www.ninds.nih.gov/funding/abou...

I have a very hard time understanding why reviewers are so against what they perceive as "incremental". If there are previous promising studies, why not follow up? That can still foster innovation. What am I missing? 🤔

I'm reposting this from the other platform as I think it's important. It was upsetting to me to find out that there have been complaints ab 'the tone' of non-native speaker colleagues. This is part of CULTURAL COMPETENCE, which is essential for understanding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion🧵1/5⤵️
