Awesome work from an amazing set of labs and institution!

My feed is overwhelmed with scientists right now calling out the catastrophic consequences of the NIH indirect cost order from last night. If those same people aren't also speaking out against the anti-trans, anti-DEI, anti-immigrant orders...we are lost. The only path forward is solidarity.

Indirect Costs at NIH . . .
I wasn’t planning on spending part of a Saturday writing about cost accounting principles and the like, but NIH-world was hit with a doozy of a policy announcement on Friday night:

Honored to receive first place poster award at #wcbr2025! Thanks to all who stopped by. The poster (and my panel) explored divergent signaling dynamics in VTA dopamine subpopulations, as well as functional roles for glutamate and dopamine in co-transmitting VTA neurons. Stay tuned for more!

Big Supreme Court argument today regarding the right of trans kids to get proper medical care. This matters. Diminishing the rights of one group diminishes the rights of all us.
