First they came for my diversity grant, and I did not freak out - because I still had an R01. Then they paused federal funding, and I did not freak out - because I had a start up package with central funds. Then they cut indirects, & there was no research left to freak out over

98% of NIH grants that should have gone out this month, didn't. Despite court orders 'unfreezing' the funds, they are frozen. Biomedical research will grind to a halt. Clinical trials will end. All for no reason: the total impact on the US budget is miniscule

@NIH Omfg

Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as “indirect costs.” Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above what many major foundations allow and much lower than the 60%+ that some institutions charge the government today. This change will save more than $4B a year effective immediately.

Looking to hire a clinical postdoctoral fellow with experience in child psychology. Please spread the word!!!

I need people to understand how difficult it is to get an NIH grant. You spend months writing a proposal, following strict guidelines that include a detailed multiyear budget, bios of everyone on your team, plans for participant safety & ethical conduct. Then you send it off -1/n

Happy birthday ⁦@theDOORlab⁩ ! Love you like a sister now and forever ❤️

Sprained ankle ended my #SOBP2024 participation earlier than planned but had awesome time making new friends, seeing old and learning about great science!! @dr_mindyws @Kangjoo_Lee_ @RyanSmith_LIBR @mpwpaulus @AvramHolmes @AFornito @DanielGDillon @PhilCorlett1 @harpaz_l

@phyzang Wait, why wasn’t I there with you?!??

I met a woman in a bar last night at 2am who showed me this video. We laughed, we cried, we screamed, we SANG. We left that restroom friends forever. Taylor Swift is life.

@TamarGurMDPhD @NegarFani It was soooo good! I’m so sorry that I had to leave early for the airport. I really didn’t want to miss the last talk @NegarFani !

@TamarGurMDPhD You should!!!

Huge shoutout to the trainees in the elevator, both for their brilliant flash talks showcasing their work for our guest @rebecca_saxe and their poise during this … ahem … ‘adventure’… 😅 @JenWarmingham @ALavalleePhD @dana_e_diaz @LiorAbramson @anna_vannucci Claudia Espinoza

@andreashorn_ @garance_meyer @c_neudorfer @BiologicalPsyc1 Amazing thread, and such fantastic work! 👏

To treat OCD, Deep Brain Stimulation to the ventral capsule is effective – but the optimal target site remains unclear. In a huge collaborative effort @garance_meyer & @c_neudorfer set out to determine it @BiologicalPsyc1. A 🧵 👇👇 researchgate.net/publication/37…

@foxmdphd @harvardmed @Harvard @WUSTLmed @Brain_Circuits I ❤️ this!! I never even applied to Columbia and was rejected for many schools… I think it’s persistence and resilience

23 years ago, I received my rejection letter from @harvardmed. Today, I was promoted to full #professor @harvardmed @Harvard. Grateful to my mentors, colleagues, and students @WUSTLmed @harvardmed @Brain_Circuits that made this possible! #Persistence

Thanks, @adam0mary for a fun conversation about developmental neuroscience! @CogDevelopLab @ColumbiaPsych

Our work bloomed into a @NatureComms paper: nature.com/articles/s4146… :) Thanks to many people, in the acknowledgements and beyond<3: @ColumbiaPsych, @kyo_iigaya , @neurofreak , @drrachelmarsh, @BrandonAshinoff , @irosarioc, @DMWolpert , @weijima01 , @nadine_dijkstra ,@pradysd .

With @marianne_brkr and @GuillermoHorga, we propose a model and task to measure the elusive concept of insight: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. We induced participants to experience perceptual distortions by using the motion after-effect (MAE) illusion.
