Do people consider this right now?
If you’re a US researcher, now is the time to establish a plan B
The scale of funding cuts in the United States means that countless scientists will lose their jobs. It would be naive not to start thinking about alternative career paths.

Curious what others think about this topic?
The last two-author neuroscience paper?
Author lists on papers have ballooned, and it’s getting hard to discern contribution.

It’s always the same: If enough people rise…
‘Silence is complicity’ — universities must fight the anti-DEI crackdown
Higher-education establishments must not be bullied into abandoning their mission of diversity, equity and inclusion.

I’m Austrian, but this very much true for my country as well. Actually even worse. The FPÖ is the strongest force in parliament since the last election.
It seems to happen everywhere… Let’s not despair and stay vigilant against the far right!

Just received the email most of you have probably gotten already. My K99 study section has been rescheduled to "a later date".
I came to the US as a postdoc assuming this country was the mothership of science. Not so sure about that anymore...

Science (and science policy, and conservation) friends, I need your help!
We are collecting *specific, clear* examples of harms caused by the Trump administration's attacks on science, to be included in an open letter.

Women are systematically under-cited in neuroscience. New tools can change that.
An omitted citation in a high-profile paper led us to examine our own practices and to help others adopt tools that promote citation diversity.

The 11th European Conference of Comparative Neurobiology will be held this May in San Juan, Alicante, Spain. Should be a great location to learn about brains and evolution.
