I'm late to post because I've fallen off of Bluesky, but I'm thrilled that these grants were reinstated and also sad for the challenges we are facing as scientists!
Yesterday was a good day for me, @drperlman.bsky.social and our trainees.

We had TWO supplements reinstated by NIMH!

But, you have to ask, why make our youngest scientists have to deal with these uncertainties and personal rebukes?

My lab is happy to have our research assistant position reposted after it was taken down due to funding concerns. Ideal for recent graduates interested in child neurodevelopment lab experience for gradschool or medschool.

So happy to write this opinion standing up for science in my local paper!
