I wanted to highlight this incredible science advocacy resource on the @sfn.org website. There's info on how to contact your legislatures, prep for meetings, and make your voice heard. Thank you to SfN for not backing down from the fight and supporting scientists! 🧠🧪 www.sfn.org/advocacy/adv...

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.
I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.

If you are a neuroscientist, please use SFN's site to write to your reps about the importance of funding for science (they have letters ready to go, you can just use theirs or write/edit as you see fit): www.sfn.org/advocacy/adv...

If you need a break in these stressful times, check out my Hubby's music 🩷
Just added all my new songs to bandcamp.
Take a listen if you're looking for some new tunes, or need a distraction from the real world for a bit.

Check out our recent paper, out in this month's issue of #AgingCell. Through deep proteomic analysis, we uncovered previously unknown connections between FKBP51 and Mycbp2, Spryd3, and Fbxo45, which may contribute to the #resilience in FKBP51 knockout mice. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
Fkbp5 gene deletion: Circadian rhythm profile and brain proteomics in aged mice
This study investigates the circadian rhythm and proteomic profile of aged FKBP51 knockout mice. The absence of FKBP51 provided protection against stress-mediated disruptions in circadian rhythms in ...
