Time are rough as an ESI, well as anyone. Last year I had stellar reviewed NSF CAREER not funded due to cuts, now I finally have a fundable R01 score and *looks around* we can't have animal only grants? 🫠

I need scientists 🧪 to *THINK*: Do you really believe *only* $8mil went to research w/ transgenic mice, one of the most common tools in modern biomedicine?

Or maybe fascists are targeting trans people everywhere they can, including research using animal models of gender affirming hormone therapy?

I lost my job at the National Science Foundation yesterday, along with 167 of my colleagues, including some dear friends. This was the best job I've ever had, and I thought it would be my last. The PI community has been sympathetic and supportive, without exception. I will miss working for you.

@sbn-bsky.bsky.social has released a statement on current events. SBN DEI comm, of which I'm chair, wrote this statement to be people-first focused on the human impacts. I want to thank Peg McCarthy & the Exec Comm in quickly approving the document w/ few edits. This is why SBN is my "home" society.

Just saw this news. Ed Stricker is a big reason I'm a neuroscientist today. I will always be grateful for the journey he took his students on in Intro to Neuro at Pitt. www.ssib.org/web/memorial...

if they're bragging about cost savings, they are likely cutting the savings from indirects from the total budget
