@ohbmofficial.bsky.social This is a pretty drastic and unannounced change that I am sure many are just discovering. Last year’s abstract length was 4000 characters. Who is going to volunteer to review 40 (~2000 words each) abstracts over the holidays? Some clarification would be useful!

Hippocampal encoding of memories in human infants Humans lack memories for specific events from the first few years of life. We investigated the mechanistic basis of this infantile amnesia by scanning the brains of awake infants with functional magne...

Why do we not remember being a baby? One idea is that the hippocampus, which is essential for episodic memory in adults, is too immature to form individual memories in infancy. We tested this using awake infant fMRI, new in @science.org #ScienceResearch www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Today is the international day of the Woman and Girl in Science. To all badass women, scientists keep doing what you do: discovery, mentorship, and hard work. YOU belong in SCIENE.

Estimated Single Year Loss of NIH Funding if 15% Indirect Cost Rate is Imposed Based on analysis of 2024 NIH funding data. Sums are totals of losses in funding to programs if indirect costs had been capped at 15%

Helpful table to determine how much your University or health system is set to lose if the NIH indirect cap is suddenly lowered to 15%. For SJSU it is $374k which is on the smaller end but devastating considering our other budget issues. datawrapper.dwcdn.net/l0ZqA/8/

I too loved grad school and I wish “Postdoc” could be a permanent career option 🙃

It just. makes. sense.

NEW DATA: Childcare costs remain an almost prohibitive expense We updated our National Database of Childcare Prices with data from 2019-2022 and found that U.S. families spend between 8.9% and 16.0% of their median income on full-day care for just one child.

Cost of child care for one child can be more than rent in some US counties blog.dol.gov/2024/11/19/n...

I want to know what happened to make this warning necessary - did someone disassemble the MRI while it was on and only THEN discovered it was “extremely magnetic”?
