Solidarity to the NYU faculty members as they prepare to strike.

University leadership must offer a deal that meets the moment: Stronger job security, higher wages, and academic freedom protections.

NYU, it’s time to give CFU-UAW a fair contract and also pay your RAs!

Delays in awards and funding calls worry NIH-funded researchers Many programs may be pushed into the next fiscal year, and some could face funding gaps

NIH funding is back in limbo, and it’s a mess. Between a 90% drop in new funding notices and White House spending blocks, only about 800 new awards have been made, less than a third of the usual rate.
If these "spend plans" don't clear soon, we’re looking at a major gap in biomedical research.

No pasaran! 🇪🇸

God bless the Spanish for standing hard against this soulless, brutality. This is leadership:

Trump thinks his rule is absolute. But in America we don’t have kings, and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Our national, peaceful movement is only getting bigger!

We have a rotating exhibit of Cajal drawings at NIH. Along with the drawings, a 3D printed model of the image is printed to make Cajal’s work accessible.

I was invited to write captions for the images with a group of NIH neuroscientists but our last contribution, from Dec. 2024, never went up.

🔥 New preprint!

Excited to share Johannah's fantastic work -> a preregistered study with two replications showing how uncertainty shapes perceptual insight.

As always, it’s been a great ride working with Johannah and Carlos.

I’m thrilled to announce that my abstract has been accepted for the Cognitive Neuroscience Society 2026 Annual Meeting! 🎉 I’ll be heading to Vancouver this March to share my latest work and connect with the neuroscience community.

Bilateral ventral pathways support phonological awareness at reading onset in Spanish-speaking children Abstract. Reading is a fundamental human skill that has been widely studied. While substantial progress has been made in identifying the white matter pathways supporting reading in adults, less is kno...

Phonological processing = left dorsal stream?
Not in Mexican Spanish-speaking children at reading onset.
Here, bilateral ventral — not dorsal— pathways predict phonological awareness.
Neuroscience should broaden the populations it studies to build generalizable brain models.

I know this feels pointless but everyone has to call their congressional reps and say they oppose war with Iran and they oppose Trump illegally starting one without congressional approval — both

US citizen shot and killed by federal immigration agent last year, new records show Shooting death of Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, in Texas was not publicly disclosed by Department of Homeland Security

An ICE agent shot and killed 23-year-old U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas almost an entire year ago and hid the shooting from the public.

It’s only now coming to light, 11 months later, due to Freedom of Information Act requests.

What else is the regime hiding from us?

Third American death linked to ice uncovered by Newsweek While the 23-year-old's death was reported in March 2025, it was not made clear that a federal agent fired the fatal shot.

DHS successfully—until now—covered up the murder of a third US citizen on Texas' Padre Island, the sort of thing that can only happen in GOP-ruled Texas. ICE agents shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, last year, but DHS covered up the whole incident, Newsweek reports.

A particular moment in my favourite Radiohead song always gives me goosebumps every time I play it. Turns out susceptibility to such “chills” (induced by music, poetry, art) varies between people & that genetic differences play a part.

Trump administration drops appeal of order blocking $1.2 billion UCLA settlement - Daily Bruin This post was updated Feb. 13 at 10:00 p.m. The Trump administration dropped its appeal of a decision Friday that blocked it from demanding a $1.2 billion settlement from UCLA.

Resist. Trump will keep losing. And his legal battles and Epstein are stretching the DOJ thin.

He has dropped his appeal of the $1.2B demand from UCLA.

This fight was not from tepid administrators or the faculty senate

It was from the DeFacto faculty union and the UAW.
