This link is making the rounds in my frantic network of biologists and it desperately needs context. NIH has NOT announced plans to eliminate animal research, but we have real and urgent concerns about the future of animal research.🧪

What better way to combat antisemitism than by stripping funds from a university with the highest percentages of Jewish undergraduates of any school in the Ivy League?

Thanks to all of the NIHers and their friends who reached out to me. I am still here (DM me or Signal jeremymberg.78)

I still have a very incomplete picture but based on what I have been told, the damage to NIH and to many wonderful people who work(ed) there is/was impossible for me to imagine

Starter packs are genius, but I was surprised there wasn't a list of them for people to find.

So I built it:
blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack...

The website monitors the packs being shared and adds the ones it finds to the database.

Missed your stater pack? Message me and I'll get it added.

Inspired by @hleisthen.bsky.social and @denizhanpak.bsky.social I've put together a starter pack for neuroethology (broadly defined). Follow these people if you're interested in learning about the mechanisms underlying animal behaviour.

Suggestions welcome!
