You probably already know this, but today was the first full missed pay check for most of your friends, colleagues, POs and SROs at the NIH.
Stay strong out there folks. If you need help, ask for it. As always, try to be kind.
The Cummings Lab is hiring a postdoc to work in the areas of reward and addiction! Please see the ad below:

Very cool! And thank you for doing this!
our "Untangling the Mind" tour with NatGeo is ready for liftoff again this Fall and throughout Spring '26!
this show is meant for anyone interested in science and the brain because neuroscience belongs to everyone 🧠
info + tour dates 👇🏽!

Excited to share this new work from the lab, in collaboration with @jtuscher.bsky.social & Rob Sorge! Here, we used single cell transcriptional profiling to define molecular adaptations induced by chronic pain and opioid experience, which often occur in conjunction.

Great opportunity for undergrads to flex their creativity and their neuro knowledge!
Welcome, Brynn! Very excited to have you here.
Last month, I launched my lab at Ohio State. Our lab website is now live, and we're recruiting graduate students this cycle! If you're interested in the cognitive (neuro)science of learning & memory, please reach out!

The NSF GRFP is an amazing opportunity for students in the first two years of a PhD or those applying to a PhD right now.
Below, check out our special episode with advice for both applicants and those who write letters of support!! 🧐
Please help us spread the word 📢
Congratulations, Steve! Can’t wait to read it!
Good morning everyone!
So, I wrote a book (!!) and it’s coming out November 4th in physical and audiobook form. It’s called *How to Change a Memory*

New preprint alert! 🚀
We show that mitochondria dynamically remodel near synapses during brain plasticity for learning 🧠🧪
Led by Monil Shah, MPFI IMPRS PhD student, (@mpfneuro.bsky.social) using advanced microscopy & new algorithms, revealing stunning neuronal beauty! 🔬
Thanks to the whole team!
I really liked using them! Perhaps I need to find another way to break up my run-on sentences
The same dendritic segments are preferentially activated by two linked contextual memories, and spine clusters added after each of two linked contextual memories are allocated to the same dendritic segments in mouse retrosplenial cortex (RSC) 🧪🧠

Excited about our latest research highlighted in@medicalxpress.com.web.brid.gy. Our collaborative work with Alcino Silva at UCLA, led by @meghasehgal.bsky.social sheds light on the mechanisms of memory linking, which remained a mystery for years.

Flyer for Stand Up for Science Walkout March 7, 2025, Freiberger Field, Cleveland
Attention Cleveland and NE Ohio! Can't make it to Cbus to #standupforscience? You are in luck. There is a walkout this Friday, 12-2p, Freiberger Field at Case Western!
I beg my science colleagues to speak with the media about what's happening now.
When I was given the opportunity, I spoke with Nature about HHMI massive cut. I am an immigrant on a working visa, and I am not a professor. Anyone can talk. Silence in the face of injustice is injustice in action.
I’m standing up for the next generation of diverse scientists. The rare disease patients. The cancer patients. The species that may never walk the planet again. Women’s healthcare.
“Right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.”

Columbus and nearby friends!! Please get loud with me on Friday!
STAND UP FOR SCIENCE 2025: March 7, 2025 (illustration of the statue of liberty) Walk out at 12PM. Meet in front of the Petit Science Center. Please join us as we protest and Stand up for Science! (banner reading Science is for everyone) We'll walk along Decatur St towards GSU's Library plaza and loop around to meet up at Liberty plaza in front of the capital
I am standing up science this Friday, March 7th at the capital in Atlanta! @thefortylab.bsky.social organized a walkout from GSU starting at Petit Science Center. Please join us and #standupforscience2025 🗽🇺🇸 #sciencenotsilence #scienceforall www.eventbrite.com/e/stand-up-f...
This assault on science should not be acceptable to anyone, and it won't go away unless we make it go away.
Stand up for science!

Reposts appreciated!
I’ve been overwhelmed trying to keep up with everything that’s happening at the NIH. I wondered if others were likewise overwhelmed so I am going to start regularly posting videos with what I know. Pls feel free to leave suggestions and comments. youtu.be/MvgNHWSJtH0
