My PhD student Trevor Hewitt is conducting an online experiment into closed-eye visuals during psychedelic experiences. If you've had such an experience, please consider taking part at closed-eyes.com (it's only a short survey) - and/or help us spread the word. 🙏🏽🧠

It's not just Northwestern and Harvard, I have gotten credible (confidential) reports from several other schools (including state schools) that the NIH is defaulting on federal commitments there too.
Seems like there may be a big story here for an investigative reporter willing to take it on

Northwestern has not received any NIH funds since March. No written communication about why or what can be done. Thank you Ben Singer for raising awareness at #ATS2025

1 in 5 Americans depend on Medicaid for health insurance, but they don't all know they're on it because it may go by another name (e.g., Medi-Cal, Apple, BadgerCare). I identified the name of each state's Medicaid program. If you or someone you love is in one of these programs, call 202-224-3121.

Lately, I’ve realized that it’s hard to communicate the gravity of what’s happening in science right now if you’re not familiar with what the NIH does and the role it plays in funding research and training the next generation of scientists. This piece is my attempt to do just that. Check it out: 🧪
In our newest piece, we take a deep dive into how the NIH works, the effects of recent executive orders and cuts to funding, and what we stand to lose if current political interference remains unchallenged. Read it here: open.substack.com/pub/isabella...
What It Would Mean To Lose the National Institutes of Health
In this piece, we provide readers with an in-depth explainer of what the NIH does and how its mission is being threatened by current political interference.

Unfortunately, there was another round of FUNDED grants cancelled yesterday. These illegal cuts stop projects that have been in progress for years, interrupt lifesaving research, and destroy the public good of science in the US.

Elon Musk is a proven danger to good science, but the Royal Society won’t say so. That’s why I resigned | Kit Yates
It is vital to act, and I urge colleagues to do so. How can we stand by and laud this man while he undermines scientific integrity? asks academic and author Kit Yates
