The Da Mesquita lab at Mayo Clinic (www.mayo.edu/research/lab...) is looking for a postdoctoral researcher to work on projects investigating the role(s) of the meningeal lymphatic vasculature in models of neurodegenerative diseases. Please spread the word and contact me in case you are interested! 😃

Very concerning! Some questions - is it normal for NIH director and HHS secretary to be appointed as ex officio members on all councils? And are they voting members? At least for one council, it looks like they would be the only 2 members left after 2026.

The subfornical organ is a nucleus for gut-derived T cells that regulate behaviour - Nature A distinct population of CD4 T cells resides in specific regions of the steady-state brain, and these T cells are programmed in the periphery by the microbiome to coordinate adaptive behaviour.

Neuroscience advocacy groups on navigating DEI funding cuts Minority trainees are losing pillars of support, but grassroots organizations are stepping in to continue championing these early-career researchers.

Federally funded DEI training programs and funding sources are disappearing. Meet seven neuroscientists who are filling these gaps.

I wonder if in addition to Gilliam, this will also include FH? I heard recipients had already been notified but obviously haven’t been announced yet

Yes. Lifeboats for the rich at the expense of the next generation

Absolutely. I cannot understand/justify diverting money from early career to established. Extremely disappointing

It sounds like they are going to divert money from these early career grants to “continue to support our scientists”, presumably the established investigators…

Just got news that @hhmi.org decided to not review Hanna Gray fellowship applications. I am sorry but that’s fucked up. People spent months working in those. So now you disadvantaged these candidates even more. They could have used the time to advance their research instead.
