Did you know that @ninds is developing an RM1 funding mechanism to support team science focused on a single goal?

Just learned about it in the "Inside NIH" session organized by the Advocacy Committee at #BPS2026.

Coming soon at #nih.

Whenever I see the use of language like "rockstar of <foo>" I immediately think that somewhere in this ecosystem there are people elevating egos to improper heights.

It has become a reliable warning sign.

After a safe, even if long, travel to SF yesterday, I am so looking forward to peeking into new discoveries, forging a positive future, reconnecting with brilliant minds, and making new friends.

If you are at #BPS2026, come say hello, and make my day ๐Ÿฅฐ!!
