Of all the amazing things that I've heard these past 2 days, I want to amplify this one in hopes that if there is a trainee out there that needs to hear this, it will reach them.
Viviana is among the best minds of this era. Her story is telling. She said (and I endorse):

I see a lot of women hesitant to post about their wins these days. I don't know any of them, but their success stories make me happy and I shout a silent "You go girl". Please keep posting!

By playing rhythmic audio to comatose patients, then skipping a beat, researchers could elicit changes in heart rate—but only in patients who went on to have favorable outcomes. The phenomenon could be used to predict patient outcomes. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Neoteny maybe a compensatory mechanism to offset decline in neurogenesis in the human brain.

So a former postdoc from our department had just started as a PO at NIH and was terminated in the wave of terminations last week. He is in the research triangle and a phenomenal scientist with expertise in stress and glia. If anyone in the RTI is hiring asap please let me know! #neuroskyence

I know this site only reaches a subset of neuro/ cog professors. If you know a young professor in the area who would benefit from a week of targeted learning about doing good science, good mentoring, networking etc, it would be great if you could forward them: compneurosci.com/Neuro4Pros/i...

I think I share the sentiment that it takes time to recover from a PhD, though maybe not quite as much as 2-3 years. www.reddit.com/r/postdoc/s/...
