Good morning Bluesky! I deleted my X account and am looking to rebuild my network here! I'm a neuroscientist 🧠 studying the effects of environmental toxins on kids and teens brain, cognitive, and immune health. Big on neuroimaging, advanced stats, and good vibes! Let's connect!

The first, first-authored paper from one of my grad students (Go Goose!) and the newest CASI Lab pub is out now! We found distinct age-related changes in WM-related oscillatory dynamics that meditated improvements in both verbal and nonverbal ability. Check it out! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40051330/
Distinct age-related alterations in alpha-beta neural oscillatory activity during verbal working memory encoding in children and adolescents - PubMed
Emerging imaging studies of working memory (WM) have identified significant WM-related oscillatory events that are unique to each phase of working memory (e.g. encoding, maintenance). Although many pr...

This is also what we are hearing inside NIH.

The top leadership of each institute, and the NIH Director's office have all been fighting to retain probationary employees — and re-hire those terminated due to the renewal ban.

It's the HHS/DOGE/Musk people who are saying no. 🧪

The notice is here. The complaint has an extraordinary transcript of a meeting within NSF where the leadership said that the firings of probationary employees were mandatory and their efforts to retain the employees were overridden. Alsup clearly noticed. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
60. The NSF explained that the agency had previously been told that it would have discretion to retain workers, and had in fact made the decision to retain all of its probationary employees, only to have OPM issue a superseding order on February 13, 2025 requiring the agency to terminate everyone: We did. In the last two weeks. Up until Friday. Yes. We were told by OPM it was the agency’s discretion whether to remove probations or not. We chose to retain them all. Last Friday night. They gave direction to there was some direction that was given to cabinet level agencies. And so you saw those actions taking place at the end of last week. But the directions we received were it was our discretion. And late, late Friday night…. They told us that they directed us to remove probationers.
