Though not posted to the register, SMN study section is tentatively re-scheduled for 4/22-4/23. For anyone lurking here for this information (as I do for an MCNP re-scheduling announcement).

Ooof. What a depressing outlook. So bad for people at NIH, us, and the country as a whole.

Freezing out the NIH's funding means freezing out American innovation. Research into curing cancer, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's all delayed. And ultimately it won't just cost us advancements in life-saving research, it will cost us lives.

Reposting for the grad school applicants who may have recently joined the blue place. Also will be at ABRCMS so swing on by booth 639!

I made a starter pack for neuroscience folks but I just saw that it’s capped at 150 people. Sorry if I missed anyone! Maybe #neuroscience folks should start making subfield starter packs? 🧪 go.bsky.app/Q69XurQ

My plea to Dem leaders, liberal elites, social scientists, and every critical thinker who wants to keep fighting is to think beyond the perennial assumption that working-class drift can only be arrested by tweaking economic policy or talking points. Free to all. www.offmessage.net/p/democrats-...
