Couldn’t agree more. This is how the Tea Party transformed the Republican Party back in 2009: they kept confronting reps and Senators all across the country until it snowballed into a major media issue. Scientists all across the country: do this! Students, fellows, PIs, you all can do this.🧪

NIH grants peeps are working hard, on a Sunday night, trying to get our grants out to us as their world is in chaos. We owe them all a huge debt. Science peeps: be sure to send your grants personnel (grants management, POs and SROs) a note of encouragement and gratitude. @sarathomasy.bsky.social

Estimate from @mbeisen.bsky.social that about $1.5B (3%) of the $50B NIH budget goes to publishing fees. If we are looking to cut government waste, this might be a good place to start.

Let's create an #MRI researcher starter pack! There are a couple that are neuroimaging-based, but not really the method development community. I started putting together a few profiles, but please spread the word and tell me who else to add. If there is already one, let me know! go.bsky.app/EVqd6pe

“NIH produces an astounding return on investment to the American taxpayer. In Fiscal Year 2022, NIH research funding supported 568,585 jobs and generated $96.84 billion in economic activity — that’s $2.64 of economic activity for every $1 of research funding.” www.researchamerica.org/2023-oped-us...

A growing problem --- fake papers polluting systematic reviews. And interesting point that the gold-standard protocols that Cochrane is developing to weed out untrustworthy studies, are too much of an effort for systematic-review authors looking at 100s of papers. www.science.org/content/arti...

Big thank you to all the PhD programs that have made it so much easier to submit reference letters this year! No more infinite scales where we have to say every applicant is the best student we've ever seen or else risk them not getting into grad school.

Social rejection sucks, but they also provide a learning signal. Here we show that the two aspects of social rejection can be dissociated using computational modeling and neuroimaging. Delighted to have been able to be part of this work, definitely one of the most fun collaborations I've had!
