My lab and that of Jian Zeng are recruiting postocs to work on various stat gen projects. There are 3 positions advertised. Please check them out and share within your networks. Thanks! nature.com/naturecareers/… Closing Date is Feb 28, 2025.

We are thrilled to share this work linking specific human brain cell types to psychiatric and neurological disorders, out now in Nature Neuroscience rdcu.be/d6Tcy See below for an overview and thanks to the amazing Tayden Li, William Giardino, Deis Sero, and so many others!

Did you know it takes an average of 8 years to diagnose #BipolarDisorder? Newly published research from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (bit.ly/3JkuokY) aims to improve this by learning more about the condition’s biology. Now in Nature: go.nature.com/3PJhi3W

In an unprecedented move, research-grant reviews have been suspended indefinitely at the world’s largest public funder of biomedical research go.nature.com/4gclXG0

1/ I am beyond thrilled to share our new paper in Cell! We explored the regulatory principles underlying pleiotropy in psychiatric disorders. cell.com/cell/abstract/…

Mr. President: Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, I have a better idea.   In Denmark, everyone is guaranteed health care, college education is free, parents receive 1-year of paid paternity leave & workers don’t make less than $22 an hour.  Let's steal those ideas.

Genetics, Not Maternal Sickness, Drives Autism Risk A large study analyzing over 1.1 million pregnancies found no strong evidence that maternal health conditions during pregnancy cause autism. Researchers controlled for genetics, environmental factors, and access to healthcare

Doesn't anyone understand how Putin came to power? The oligarchs. He was nothing, a weak cypher with no base. The puppet eventually became a real boy but the lesson is the danger of combining billionaires & influence of major industries with total political power.

The US spends a small amount of its GDP on foreign aid compared to other major economies. Dismantling USAID won’t help Americans — it’s just cruel & reckless political theatrics. My Morning Joe Chart

DOGE is a trojan horse for Elon Musk to gut labor, consumer, and environmental protections. If he actually wanted to cut waste, he'd look at the massive tax loopholes, government contracts, and subsidies that benefit the wealthy and large corporations.

Just a reminder that Musk’s companies have received over $15 billion from the US government — he’s happy to go after USAID but not the agencies that have been feeding him.

I don’t think the richest guy in the world should be cutting funding for cancer research.

Please share, so it reaches the right people.

Your math is wrong dude. Let me get this straight. All this time you thought a that an indirect cost rate of 60% meant that Universities took 60% of the grant? 🤦‍♂️

Boy kings, we gave power to morally bankrupt children, who steal our work, and rob for fun. Historian spoiler alert: it never ends well for these unelected despots.

Elon Musk has a medical device company that owes it's entire existence to NIH funded neuroscience research. But, unlike the real men of means who are advancing the field by supporting research, he hasn't contributed to any biomedical research that doesn't benefit him personally

Moving to @jakobgrove.bsky.social I would ask the last one here to turn off the light, but it is already dark in here.
