Last year at @sfn.org I ran a workshop on "Opening the File Drawer" with Ben Kolber, Stacey Winham, Paul Sternberg, & Alex Freeman (@alexandrafreeman.bsky.social).
We've shared the resources that we compiled for that workshop in this new paper. ❤️

Science projects are designed & funded on the scale of years, so what happens if you need to finish prematurely? @mhagenauer.bsky.social &co discuss solutions for quickly documenting partially finished projects & publishing ‘as you go’ in an uncertain environment @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4ovd1jH

Neuroimmunology is advancing rapidly & belongs in undergrad (neuro/bio/immuno etc.) curricula. If you're planning a course or a module, @ecleininger.bsky.social, Sumali Pandey, & I have developed a curriculum using core concepts in neuro. and immunology, & curated resources to help you get started!

Deadline to comment is Friday. Turn that Friday science dread into something something comment! Also, it needs a hashtag, #FriSciDread
🚨 A new rule would let career scientists like NSF/NIH program officers be replaced by political appointees
Already 14,000+ public comments, deadline is Friday
📣 Comments can be short. Courts consider them—and scientists with NSF/NIH experience are especially impactful
Speak up! shorturl.at/WKuBj
