• Indeca, a step toward robust and interpretable calcium deconvolution
• STIMscope for closed-loop, single-cell precision imaging + optogenetics
• Cala, mio, and noob for streaming calcium imaging and analysis
• Sciop & nwb-linkml, building resilient data infrastructure for neuroscience

We’ll be showing:

• Fully wireless, open-source Miniscopes for long-term recording
• A modular multimodal biosignal platform for freely behaving animals
• Miniscope-UltraSmall for long-term, multi-region imaging
• MiniSTIM, integrating one-photon imaging with neural modulation

9/ Our voices, our labor, our funds, our actions matter; and it’s time we use them.

8/ Faculty potentially have a power we’ve never fully recognized. It’s time to work across all 50 states and make our collective pain—and our dissent—felt. We cannot stand by while our future is dismantled, our trainees are hurt, and our research is undermined.

7/ Our ability to do our jobs—funding research, training future scientists, teaching students—is under attack. This isn’t just about budgets; it’s about the core values of higher education.

6/ The proposed changes cut deep into positions that faculty nationwide hold dear. Waiting for courts to resolve these issues or for sluggish, misaligned university administrations to act is not an option.

5/ In essence, we aren’t just a workforce—we’re part of the financial backbone of the institutions we serve.

4/ Consider our unique position as faculty:
• We provide much of the labor in higher ed.
• We generate critical funds (via grant indirects) that sustain universities. These funds reach much further than just funding the operational costs around our research.
• We are extremely difficult to replace.

3/ The brutal cut to DEI and change to acceptable grant proposal language is particularly troubling. It comes from the same playbook that is behind the indirect cuts. Removing DEI isn’t accidental; it’s a deliberate effort to erase the inclusive framework that drives academic excellence.

2/ Research is inherently progressive. These changes strike at the core values that most faculty live and work by, undermining the very foundation of academic inquiry and innovation.
