We could always get some re-interpretation language from NIH but at present the "council in a calendar year" is pretty dang clear. For 2026 Councils, we can submit six apps between May 2025 and March 2026.
September 18, 2025 at 7:20 PM
🙏 Please help!

ad nauseam topic but for new NIH n=6 submission policy is it:

a. 6 subs in 2025 calendar year = we can sub 6 R01s for Oct '25 + another 6 for Jan-Dec '26?

b. subs in Oct '25 w/ May '26 Council = we can sub 6 R01s Oct '25 to June '26; count resets Oct '26?

(1/10) We’re excited to share our new preprint (doi.org/10.1101/2025...), which uncovers the spatiomolecular landscape of the human nucleus accumbens (NAc), by integrating snRNA-seq with Visium spatial transcriptomics across 10 control donors. 🧠 #NAcLIBD #snRNAseq #10xVisium

My new essay for @thetransmitter.bsky.social. Why is understanding emotion so challenging? The debates around what counts as an "emotion" shed insight.

These disputes are multidimensional, principled and fascinating. Here, I unpack them.

Emotion research has a communication conundrum
In 2025, the words we use to describe emotions matter, but their definitions are controversial. Here, I unpack the different positions in this space and the rationales behind them—and I invite 13…

Huge congrats to Dr. Lisa Wooldridge!

She crushed her PhD defense on central amygdala circuits in opioid dependence

Incredible science, relentless rigor, and a fearless approach to tough questions

So proud to be part of your journey, Lisa!

Saw this new paper in the evening, sent to student

🤮 more garbage takes in grant reviews .. we got a 5 and ultimately ND bc we have papers on bioRxiv that were to support the 20+ references for ACC/PAG/BLA roles in pain

.. punished for preprints, wtf
