Congratulations to Dr. Leslie Unger for defending her dissertation! Her results suggest that group-delivered Mindfulness and Modification Therapy showed feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary utility in treating impulsive and addictive behaviors in residents of a medium-security men’s prison.
The funny thing is animals actually can suffer and we slaughter them by the billions but sure let’s have an existential panic over whether a software program screams when we turn it off
"This could be the difference whether your child gets cancer. Are you willing for them to die because the therapy for them is delayed?"
Powerful video with voices from top US scientists on the very real and devastating impacts of the funding cuts.
Although impulsive behaviours are universal, for some people, they can have negative consequences that interfere with their lives. This guide will help you begin to understand and manage your impulsive behaviour
I spent five years working in another part of HHS. I often worked late, and I was rarely alone in that.
What Musk and Trump are doing is not only the dismantling of public functions we rely on, but an assault on tens of thousands of dedicated workers focused on the common good.
To understand the devastation for U.S. science right now. Here is how NIH grants work: somebody comes up with a research idea, like a tree sapling NIH invests in the “direct cost” of that idea, aka buys the sapling Let’s say that sapling is $100
A visualization I created to share with family and friends about how the NIH indirect rate costs will hurt science AND our economy.
In light of today's devastating announcement of a 75% cut to NIH overhead, it scarcely seems newsworthy that couple dozen COVID contrarians are cosplaying PNAS.
But two of them are slated to lead the NIH and the FDA.
Is this how they'll stand up for science?
And for all the scientists asking “what can we do?”, here’s an interesting suggestion: call your local TV stations and newspapers and tell them you’d be happy to be interviewed. if you do that, please let us know and we’ll share so others can learn.

🚨RED ALERT for 🧪:
The Trump NIH just gashed indirect costs. This is a direct attack on universities.
“Pursuant to this Supplemental Guidance, there will be a standard rate of 15% across all NIH grants for indirect costs.” 😮
Just a devastating Friday night news dump. #scicomm #academicaky
This account is for sharing info with US scientists, both extramural and intramural to NIH, about attacks on science in the US.
Education is power, and we can help advocate for science and medicine together. 💪🧪
We are a team of NIH people. Please ask us questions you might have.
