Ever wonder how the genome of human brains compares with macaque, marmoset, mouse, rat, cat, rabbit, horse, and cow? Wonder no longer! Check out a really cool pre-print from my very talented graduate student @ashlynganderson.bsky.social on multiomics across mammals: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
🧪 Senate appropriators say: NIH's budget gets a... boost!
Rather than 40% cut, NIH gets a $400M *increase* in the Senate committee bill for FY26 (about +1%).
"Congress has your back," said @murray.senate.gov.
ADVOCACY MATTERS! There's still a long road (esp in the House), so keep up pressure.
A randomized trial (N>2,100 participants, multi-center) of structured vs self-guided lifestyle interventions in older adults shows the former improved cognitive function jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Someone just referred to Teams as "Dollar Store Zoom" and I've not agreed with something so hard in a very long time.
And here it is:
"The MNG meeting scheduled for February 20-21, 2025, will be rescheduled for a later date, yet to be determined. I have disabled your access to this meeting in IAR."

The NIH diversity supplement pages have all been pulled down. What is a diversity supplement and why should the public care? A diversity supplement is funding to help diversify the research workforce. You may be wondering, “so what?”. Let me explain. www.nigms.nih.gov/Pages/PageNo...
You saved me an e-mail. Hope it holds up.
Happy 25th Anniversary to those who remember...
Happy to announce I made it through my first Letter of Recommendation season without complaining about it online
I couldn't spot a starter pack for rare disease / clinical genomics, so I started one: go.bsky.app/SUWZ9Hw
Very much a work in progress, and biased by who I have already found here, so please suggest people to add! Self-nominations encouraged.

Great news, Joao!
I made a starter pack for neuroscience folks but I just saw that it’s capped at 150 people. Sorry if I missed anyone! Maybe #neuroscience folks should start making subfield starter packs? 🧪

Genetics Starter Pack 2
Some accounts I can’t believe I missed the first time, self-nominees, and recent arrivals. If I still missed you, I’m probably sorry. Maybe you can post starter pack 3.

Made it over from the other place. What a breathe of fresh air.
I’m a scientist studying Alzheimer’s and related dementias as well as general genomics.
Looking forward to engaging with everyone!
