Here are some data documenting the funding "pause" pulled from NIH Reporter. Current results (FY25) (Red) are compared with results from FY21 (first year of Biden Administration) and FY24. Note that data from Reporter lag behind release of NoAs by ~1 week. I will be tracking this going forward.

Cool work from Filipa Rijo-Ferreira and co, building on a mystery left in 2010 by Gabriella Lundkvist and Gene Block pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29302035/

This was an impassioned one. Our ENDURE program is just one of so many programs that will be impacted by legislation dismantling DEI work. I won’t speak for them, but know that I’m just one of so many people who care deeply about this.

The inimitable and indomitable Ya’el Courtney interviewed by @neuronline.sfn.org. She celebrates the power of @washu-endure.bsky.social and brings happy tears to my eyes. www.sfn.org/publications...

Congrats to DrJulia Pai on her excellent PhD defense! @washu-endure.bsky.social alumni rise and unite!!!

SLEEP GROOVE, my love letter to circadian rhythms and sleep regularity, is out today! We need the rhythmicity of sleep to be just as central to how we define sleep health as the rhythmicity of your heartbeat is to defining cardiac health

I like the way your brain works.

Thanks a 1x10^6 for sharing! As a token of our appreciation, a circadian playlist assembled by members of the Society for Biological Rhythms. open.spotify.com/playlist/2vz...

Inspired by artist Tauber-Arb and the discoveries of @mariafelicita.bsky.social, @oliviawalch.bsky.social made this to show how brain cancers grow in response to morning hormonal signals. What do you see?

Interested in #chronobiology, find some of your community here: go.bsky.app/Sw8L4aS More folks are added all the time, so check for updates if you haven’t in a while. Want to be added? Reply with evidence your work relates to chronobiology (Please check if you’re already in it). 🧪 🌍 🦑 #EvoBio

Hey recent graduates with interests in brain science! #WashUNeuroprep neuroprep.wustl.edu is a two-year Post-Bacc program to ready recent college grads for graduate training in Neuroscience. This program is geared toward individuals who had limited opportunity for research experience as undergrads.

Brain maps reveal hub cells in circadian waves of brain activity. Work by @circatwenty4.bsky.social et al shares a new way to infer neural connections and then tests the roles of cell types and their connectivity patterns. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.12.06.627294v2

Excited to share my new #preprint with @erikherzog.bsky.social! By mapping the functional #connectome of the #SCN using 3000+ hours of recordings from 9000+ cells in 17 mice, we explored how mammalian clock neurons synchronize to produce #circadian rhythms. (1/n)

Great opportunity to work on circadian clocks with great mentors in the tiniest, earliest clock systems.

Great opportunity! First post doc position within ERC Synergy “MicroClock” open for applications! Join our vision to understand the Bacillus subtilis #circadian clock. More opportunities soon at LMU, Leiden University and the John Innes Centre @microclockerc.bsky.social #chronobiology

We use our memories to make predictions – but what happens when our memories are outdated and our predictions are wrong? @cnwahlheim.bsky.social & @jzacks.bsky.social review evidence for how memories can be differentiated or integrated in light of new evidence www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

“Permanent Standard Time is better suited for our biological clocks… When we’re on Daylight Saving Time, we sleep less…” #DitchDST

“Changing clocks to shift light from the morning to the evening is bad for health and safety… Longer evening light keeps people up later, and morning darkness makes it harder to get going for work or school… #DitchDST

This just out by @mariafelicita.bsky.social and our collaborators: time of day matters when treating patients with glioblastoma. Evidence to avoid steroids in the morning because tumors use glucocorticoids then to grow.

Had great interactions with scientists and plantains at prneuroscience.uprrp.edu. Thanks to hosts Jose Agosto and Carmen Maldonado.

Congratulations to Michelle D. Jones-London, Ph.D., for being awarded the Dolores Shockley Diversity and Inclusion Advancement Award! #ACNP2024 1/2

This was listed as a comedy on my flight to Tokyo. I think it could be wisdom.

Thankful for Standard Time, morning light, circadian alignment, all who support natural time. 🦃 🙏 Thank you! #Thanksgiving

Thanks to Chris Woolston for this lovely report on some of the current work in the lab: source.washu.edu/2024/11/the-... #cogpsych #washu

Our lab just moved to the IU Biology Department and we are accepting new graduate students. biology.indiana.edu The deadline for applications is Dec 1st. biology.indiana.edu/graduate/gen...

Hi all! I’m a postdoc in the Schmidt Lab at Northwestern University studying how light impacts physiology and behavior 👁️🐭. Excited to be on the job market this year and so happy share my recent preprints!!! - www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... - www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
