Agree! It was excellent Prof. @brainapps.bsky.social - huge congrats! It worked well online despite the absence of slide sharing by tech support. Just disappointed to have missed the celebrations due to chest infection.

So powerful! Colleagues in the NIH speaking up publicly.

Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran.com · Jun 9

"We are speaking on behalf of hundreds of NIH staff who are standing up together to say: WE DISSENT.

I am so scared about doing this but I am trying to be brave for my kids because it's only gonna get harder to speak up."

Thank you to Dr. Jenna Norton and NIH scientists for your courage!

I have been teaching my trainees exactly this for years...
universityaffairs.ca/career-advic...
This is exactly why @kordinglab.bsky.social tells everyone to write abstracts and aims pages first before starting projects / writing grants

Teaching students the connection between writing and thinking - University Affairs

Writing is an important skill because of its role in thinking processes. Instruction should be designed to reinforce this.

Published an op-ed for @cnn.com: “Nobel laureate: I owe America my success. Today, its scientific future is in danger.”
A personal reflection on what’s at stake as science funding gets slashed. I’d be grateful if you could amplify both in and beyond the science world.

Some thoughts on the value of exploratory studies in movement science. A thread.

tl;dr Most studies in our field are exploratory, not confirmatory, and that’s okay. However, we could all benefit from rethinking how we do, report, and interpret this exploratory work.
