If you have an interest in non-human primate systems neuroscience and/or imaging esp. if it relates to development or learning, call me! These are major chair positions that come with at least $4M or $8M over 8 years, depending on career stage.

The thing that keeps getting me about all the pieces fretting about Bluesky being too insular is that the argument seems to be that those of us who are most likely to be abused by the right (BIPOC people, trans people, queer people, etc) must put up with being abused for the sake of public discourse

Cycling is ten times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities
Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.

Faculty, if you have grad students, are you required to pay them a stipend out of your grant funds? I know this is required in some departments but not all. Trying to build a case to support our students.
