Excited to announce that my lab has moved to UC Berkeley Dept of Neuroscience and Dept of Statistics! I will be continuing to collaborate with colleagues and students in TX at UT Austin and Baylor College of Medicine, and will start new collabs in the Bay. Will be taking new grad students this fall!

Are you a PI of a federal grant cancelled by the Trump administration?

Please read the thread and consider submitting a comment!
From various sources, it appears that the plan with regard to NIH is that all Institute and Center Directors (as opposed to now where it is just the NIH Director and the NCI Director) would become essentially political appointees as would most or all division directors.

My 1st experience working in science was at UNAVCO, an #NSF funded geosciences org. now part of @earthscope.org. So much technical knowledge I use in my neuroscience (!) lab was from that early experience. My PhD was then funded by #NSFGRFP. Ending NSF funding will devastate careers and innovation.

hi, cis folks!
if we *are* going to talk ACA, RFK's HHS proposed a rule to remove *all trans care* from ACA essential health benefit status.
~25mil people are insured by ACA & if 1% are trans, that's 250,000 people who'd lose access to care.
that's bad! take 2 minutes to stand with trans people.🧵

What this administration is teaching Universities is that even if you comply - punish students for protests, ban masks, remove DEI from websites and classes - they will still defund you and try to break you apart. Basically, there is no point in complying.
