Sharing this again after just watching Dr. Christine Rabinak give the keynote lecture at the chapter meeting of Michigan SfN. One of the bravest and most moving talks I have ever attended sharing her journey from basic to human scientist to patient. @brainsbeesbikes.bsky.social

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.

I am actively looking for a research scientist position or research administration role within the Raleigh-Durham (RDU) area! Please reach out if my background and skillset might fit your labs needs :-) Lots of experience with preclinical models, translational neuroscience, and behavioral analyses!

I was hoping that my first bsky post would be more cheerful. I recently joined NIH (NIEHS) as a PO. I fought hard for this position and was so excited to support health science from a new vantage point… I picked up my life and moved to NC. Unfortunately, my time at NIEHS was short lived.

He was at NIEHS. I followed you back so you should be able to DM me now

I think that’s already in the works but he needs a job in the meantime as well

Yes sorry I was running out of characters. He is limited to the Raleigh-Durham area right now

I think he is being modest here. He is also an excellent molecular biologist with extensive experience in FACS and genomic techniques. He is also highly skilled with microscopy and recently had one of his images featured in the BRAIN initiative calendar!

This is the former postdoc that I had mentioned in my previous post. If anyone in the Raleigh Durham area is hiring he would be an excellent hire!

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

Hey all, I know it’s a sewer, but the main action and fight on the NIH is over on Twitter. We could use your voice. I’ve already been contacted by reporters based on posts over there, it’s your best chance to be heard.

Here's a very important update from the AAMC (Association of American Medical Colleges) on the proposed cuts to NIH Indirect costs: "Every year since 2017, the annual spending bill that funds NIH has included language prohibiting the Administration from making changes to F&A cost rates" 1/2 🧪

Section 224 of Public Law (PL) 118–47 as carried forward by PL 118-158:

SEC. 224. In making Federal financial assistance, the provisions relating to indirect costs in part 75 of title 45, Code of Federal Regulations, including with respect to the approval of deviations from negotiated rates, shall continue to apply to the National Institutes of Health to the same extent and in the same manner as such provisions were applied in the third quarter of fiscal year 2017. None of the funds appropriated in this or prior Acts or otherwise made available to the Department of Health and Human Services or to any department or agency may be used to develop or implement a modified approach to such provisions, or to intentionally or substantially expand the fiscal effect of the approval of such deviations from negotiated rates beyond the proportional effect of such approvals in such quarter.

quick and easy way to send a letter to your senators. Esp if your senators are GOP and/or you live in a majority red state where a show of opposition may help persuade them to do the right thing! But really, everyone.
