Thanks @alexkwan.bsky.social! It was quite an effort indeed 😅 But I hope it'll be valuable for many labs studying effects of Psi on mouse behavior.

Our multi-lab effort to characterize the acute and persistent effects of Psilocybin on mouse behavior is finally out as a preprint! Check it out, curious to hear your thoughts:

Great write up at @thetransmitter.bsky.social on the seeming erasure of SABV in the new era of NIH. Gotta say The Transmitter is killing it the last few weeks, first to report on the Federal Register block and now this. Leading the charge! 💪 www.thetransmitter.org/policy/exclu...
Exclusive: NIH appears to archive policy requiring female animals in studies
Such a shift would “put us back in the dark ages in terms of our science,” says neuroscientist Anne Murphy, who helped to formulate the original policy.

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.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has mandated that all scientific manuscripts produced by its researchers that are under review at a journal be withdrawn so that certain language relating to gender can be stripped from them.

US health agency seeks to cut gender-related terms from scientific papers
The mandate from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention follows an executive order from president Donald Trump, and applies to research not yet published.
