Trump’s NIH Axed Research Grants Even After a Judge Blocked the Cuts, Internal Records Show

A lawsuit led by the Washington state attorney general offers an unprecedented view of the termination of more than 600 NIH grants, including transgender research grants threatened by Trump’s executive orders.

COSYNE

Join us for Computational and Systems Neuroscience (COSYNE) 2025 in Montreal and Mont Tremblant, QC, Canada. This annual meeting provides an inclusive forum for the exchange of empirical and theoretical approaches to understand how neural systems function, taking place from 27 March - 1 April 2025.

I am thrilled to have participated in this work by Alison Comrie et al. investigating how hippocampal theta sequences support adaptive decision making in a patch foraging task.

Alison is an extremely thoughtful scientist and I think it shows in the deep thinking in this work.

I should note that this is the second product of a great three lab collaboration between the Frank, Daw, and Berke Labs (the first from Tim Krause here: https://x.com/TimAmosK/status/1694059025586102380)

(1/7)https://t.co/Rvz6nRe6Yd First paper of the PhD out today! What’s it about? Most of the places we traverse and actions we take do not directly result in reward (as a PhD student, I understand this problem all too well…).

Our team at the Berkeley Institute for Data Science (+ collaborators) is exploring ways of improving the statistical Python ecosystem. If you know statisticians / educators / researchers who use (or, especially, who cannot use) Python to do their work, I'd love to talk to them to find out what their needs are, and what can be improved! Please ask your colleagues if they would reach out—stefanv at berkeley. #python #statistics

Funding for the development of open-source tools is on the rise, but support for their maintenance and dissemination, both crucial for their meaningful uptake, remains a major challenge.

What neuroscientists should know—and what they can do—about changes to BRAIN initiative funding

Many grant proposals submitted to the program in the past year are unlikely to be funded, according to people within the National Institutes of Health.

Study (N=163) finds women professors did 75% of internal service work; men 25%. Women viewed it as compliance or an investment; men dodged with evasiveness or used barter. Yet men did 50% of external service work, which was more career-enhancing. https://kifinfo.no/en/2024/03/women-end-doing-academic-housework
