I know there are data repositories like Dandi for ephys, but are there known repositories for behavioral studies? Like where people put trial-wise behavior for individual subjects?

We need to fight for the next generation of US researchers Nature Human Behaviour - Federal funding of science has been cut, and trainee scientists in the USA face an unstable and uncertain future. Nicole Rust explains how and why we should act to support...

My new piece in Nature Human Behavior: "We need to fight for the next generation of US researchers"

All trainees need 3 things to thrive. In the US, those things have been ripped away. Let's brainstorm and fight to get them back.

we're crowd-sourcing a searchable repository of tangible benefits stemming from federally-funded research. Come enjoy the great stories; or send in an idea; or volunteer to join the team.

please share and re-share so we get more great stories in there!

We're excited to welcome so many people to the 2025 Spring #ADRCMeeting in San Francisco and virtually! Our general session days start tomorrow with the Administrators Session at 8 am PT. Haven't registered yet? There's still time to attend virtually! web.cvent.com/event/dfd228...

Has “many analyst” #research been done on quaLitative #data?

How much do *independent* teams of qualitative coders/analyzers converge/diverge when trying to answer one question with one dataset?

Suggestions (and self-promotion) welcome.

Alzheimer's research funding is in the DOGE crosshairs, putting invaluable datasets (including tens of thousands of genomes) and biorepositories at risk. This reflects the volunteer efforts of thousands of research participants over four decades. Please contact your reps/senators. Hands off NIH.

I hope you will all join me in expressing your thanks to the NIH and NSF staff who are working in an impossibly difficult and chaotic environment to keep science going in our country.

If you’ve been directly impacted by a pause or cancellation of an NIH study session, we @forbes.com would like to talk to you

Hearing that a lot of NIH study section and council meetings are being cancelled.

In the spirit of @nicolecrust.bsky.social ‘s call to action for scicomm, if you have found yourself with a few extra hours today, consider making a video or writing an op-ed on why research matters. 🙏

Are any neuroscience podcasts catching your attention? We want to know what you're listening to. If you have any recommendations, please comment below.

Yeah your brain too, from an MRI! I've done it a few times

Compared to neuroscience, the data situation in remote sensing/geospatial work is pretty cool

If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease!

I've got this too, somehow - it was a gift from someone I'm no longer in contact with for unrelated reasons. We call it the "Cursed Scroll". It's so wierd - just insane hubris.

Looking for help on how to efficiently process LOTS of insect field specimens. Currently, we pin insect w/hand written site/date label then ID insect w/hand written label then create new printed labels w/unique ID #. Seems inefficient! Does anyone have a better workflow that they can share? THX!

I was recently invited by NeuroImage to (re)join the editorial team as Associate Editor (?!) After a bit of a hiatus, I'm finally back to putting out in blog form what I find interesting in the world of brain imaging. I like the idea of keeping up a more regular pace in putting out incomplete...

Last week, NeuroImage invited me to join their team as Associate Editor, providing me an opportunity to put some perspectives into writing. I declined and clarified why. Here is the exchange as I wanted to share more broadly. www.thebrainblog.org/2023/11/23/i...

Just in time to say #HiSciSky, here is an interview with me about our recent work looking at the effects of being born (yes!) on brain development, that was just published this morning: www.washington.edu/news/2023/09...
