Ok scientists & those who love science 🧪: here is another exhortation. Call Congress TODAY about the freeze on NIH Council Meetings and Study Sections. Emphasize that this means NO new grants are being funded & labs will soon start to shut down and fire employees. Phone numbers are at: 5calls.org

So a former postdoc from our department had just started as a PO at NIH and was terminated in the wave of terminations last week. He is in the research triangle and a phenomenal scientist with expertise in stress and glia. If anyone in the RTI is hiring asap please let me know! #neuroskyence

Well, study section for my K99 (parent RFA) is delayed by at least ~4-6 weeks. Fingers crossed the rescheduling works out so that these grants could still make the same council review date. I feel for the NIH staff

Now published in JCN: "Exploring Anatomical Links Between the Crow's Nidopallium Caudolaterale and Its Song System" In crows (which are songbirds!), we show that the song system is paralleled by the 'general motor system' (cf. Feenders, 2008; Farries, 2001). onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Helpful table to determine how much your University or health system is set to lose if the NIH indirect cap is suddenly lowered to 15%. For SJSU it is $374k which is on the smaller end but devastating considering our other budget issues. datawrapper.dwcdn.net/l0ZqA/8/

THIS IS NOT FIRM INFORMATION I have heard from several sources what the plan for processing NIH grants may be. All grants (competing, non-competing, no cost extensions) will be subject to certification that they are compliant with the Executive Orders. 1/n

New paper out in @currentbiology.bsky.social with the inestimable @kurtfraser.bsky.social and @janaklab.bsky.social. We think this work illuminates an important way the brain dynamically orchestrates motivation, and look forward to testing new hypotheses this inspires in disease models.

If you had a study section or similar NIH travel canceled, or indeed if you have not, can you reply with the dates of the meeting and whether it's on or not? Would be good to get a sense of what time period this applies to for now (esp if NIH is muzzled and can't announce it...)
