We're recruiting postdocs to study how people build structured knowledge & use it to act flexibly. Behavioral work, fMRI, computational & AI models, with a lifespan focus. You don't need experience with every method; fit & curiosity matter most. Please repost & share! 🧠
I have long written and spoken about the many ways US immigration policy harms international students and scholars. This has been true for as long as I can remember, including when I first came to the US on a single-entry student visa more than 20 years ago under a process formerly known as muslim registry program. But the current administration has gone much further, through arbitrary policy changes, travel bans, and broad visa processing pauses that leave folks unable to work, travel, or train. These policies affect a minority of scientists, and in the current state of the world they can be easy to overlook. But we should not let that happen. I wrote about the quiet loss of Iranian scientific talent in US labs for @TheScientistLLC: the-scientist.com/the-quiet-loss…
Lesion network mapping (LNM) has been powerful in linking symptoms and brain functional circuits, but ongoing debates highlight that it is still hard to isolate symptom-specific effects. We came up with a new method, robust LNM (rLNM) — a unified framework combining null models and selective specificity to reveal reliable, symptom-specific networks from background structure. biorxiv.org/content/10.648… @bttyeo @foxmdphd @ndosenbach @club_scan
Researchers at a national primate center in Oregon have formed a grassroots nonprofit to argue against the center becoming an animal sanctuary, a transition the facility’s host university has been exploring since February. By @callimcflurry thetransmitter.org/nonhuman-prima…
Salaries for workers across universities in Argentina have dropped 30 to 40 percent since Javier Milei took office, creating a scientific crisis that has driven researchers to the streets. By @natmesanash and @claulopezneuro thetransmitter.org/funding/fundin…

A new preprint shows that deep learning can make a fly walk realistically using a worm’s brain — exposing a fundamental problem with how connectome models are being built and sold to investors. By @natmesanash thetransmitter.org/systems-neuros…
The requested boost would help counter the planned sunsetting of one of the program’s long-standing funding streams, which will result in a $195 million drop in funding for fiscal year 2027. By @avaskham thetransmitter.org/funding/letter…
My travel to Cosyne was barred by the Trump admin, so I'm here on my personal dime. I care about the @CosyneMeeting community, I committed to co-chairing. And I always learn here. But the worst part about this travel ban is my lab colleagues—students and fellows—couldn't come./1
“In her obituary, her mentee, Catherine Veil, says that [Marcelle Lapicque] fought against the prejudices of her time … it may be that the prejudices included race and not just sexism,” says @OligoclonalBand. By @avaskham, Rebecca Horne thetransmitter.org/history-of-neu…
Source for this data: NIH!
Federal funding for US biomedical research is moribund. Since October 1 2025, NIH is -80% in new grants and -70% in values (total dollars). Labs are closing down and researchers are leaving science. To what end?
Chances are you have not heard her name, but Marcelle Lapicque may have been the first Black woman neuroscientist in Europe. By @avaskham and Rebecca Horne thetransmitter.org/history-of-neu…
And I love this from @dlevenstein as a way to build community in the lab!
