Dissertation by Dr Rachel Los not only includes acknowledgements, but also .. anti-acknowledgements. delta.tudelft.nl/en/article/a...

New report shows that NIH grants fueled $95 billion in economic activity and 407,782 jobs in 2024. That's not to mention the countless lives that biomedical research has saved. Show me a better investment than that. www.forbes.com/sites/michae...

The House Continuing Resolution budget “adjustments” for NIH are drastic. Here are some examples:

Naive question: are DoD grants also frozen? ONR, ARL, AFOSR?

Memorability for voices! Great work as usual from Wilma Bainbridge's group. I suppose I could find out now how memorable *my* voice is...although I don't know that I'd want to! 😅 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Some good-ish news from NIH “Federal Register notices for study sections run by CSR (but not those by ICs) will start being permitted again” As far as I know, the timing for this is not clear, but I will be checking the Federal Register.

New York Times article now up on Federal Register stuff. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/s... 1/n

Glad to see this post getting some traction, because the Federal Register is the WHOLE ballgame, folks. To drive this point home, a recent EO declares that all posts to FR now must be approved by the White House. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

A large portion of grants awarded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health cannot be funded for the foreseeable future because of an indefinite hold on submissions to the Federal Register, according to an email reviewed by The Transmitter. By @avaskham.bsky.social bit.ly/3X8ngz8

Junglist Massive! Big ups to this one

#VSS2025 talk accepted! First time giving a talk here - nervous but excited. Like memorability and/or time perception? Then check out our replication+extension of our previous NHB paper! www.visionsciences.org/presentation...

Happy to share our new preprint on how voluntary actions modulate temporal anticipation with @alexandrenobre.bsky.social as the lead author: osf.io/preprints/ps... 🧠📈 #cognition Some might remember him presenting this at @timingresforum.bsky.social in Lisbon. (1/7)

Time perception in the inferior colliculus! How interesting. doi.org/10.7554/eLif...

Hi, Vox reporter here: If you've had a study section, NIH travel, or other NIH-related meeting cancelled (or not), raise your hand! Reply or DM me, and repost for visibility if you're able. #academicsky @drugmonkey.bsky.social

Implicit timing in the spinal cord!

Space acquires Time. Very cool article on some outstanding data from Domenica Bueti’s lab. “The neural link between stimulus duration and spatial location in the human visual hierarchy” www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I wrote about a scientific paper called “The Unbearable Slowness of Being” which finds that the human brain’s throughput is just 10 bits per second. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2024/12/26/s... 🧪

Attached is a piece of art by me for "The Unbearable Slowness of Being: Why do we live at 10 bits/s?" Hope this will inspire you to think about the brain from a new perspective!

Well this is interesting. Why does time feel like it flies by in our lives? Turns out, out theories may have been totally wrong. Nostalgia and satisfaction are the best predictors of "fast times" #PsychSciSky #mentalhealth journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

My feed is so much nicer here. Cool science posts? Check Friendly content? Check Exchange of ideas and discourse? Not so much yet, but getting there! 🧠🧪
