Agree completely this 2 yr limit on k99 eligibility is an absolutely horrible idea that discourages free exploration. One of my favorite quotes of all time is from Urmila Mahadev, who spent 8 years in her PhD solving one of the hardest problems in quantum computing: "I was

It continues to be a disaster that people conflate replication with generalization. And fail to reflexively and constantly draw the line between the two things.

I adore shepherding students through their first papers. We discuss academic norms for how to argue, write, and edit. Posting one big norm that newbies need to hear:

Was just discussing this yesterday: Don’t fall for the narrative that because you couldn’t get a PI position out of your PhD/Postdoc that’s it. My career path is non linear: from postdoc to industry to direct a core to PI. And many others have unique paths. Ask us stuff!

Scientific and technological breakthroughs require taking risks and taking time. That's impossible for "complacent hamsters" trying to maximize their next performance review. A watched pot never boils.

A postdoctoral position in the Warden lab is open! Our work is on neuromodulatory circuits and their inputs and outputs, and how these circuits support behavioral decision making. If interested, please reach out.

It will be a while before it's published (June 2025). In the meantime, if you are curious to hear more, this talk captures a good slice of it: youtube.com/watch?v=m47qHA…

Happy to share the lab’s latest research tagging psychedelic-activated neurons in mice. See the post below from first author Jessie Muir for a tweeprint on the work. Thanks to wonderful collaborators Olson Lab Lin Tian, PhD and to our reviewers/editor! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Proud to present work from my graduate student Yating Yang that just posted on BioRxiv. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Very excited to announce our new preprint that was initiated by Gillian Matthews and has been handed off to Christopher Lee to carry over the finish line. Check it out!!

Join us in welcoming Dr. Sarah Hollingsworth Lisanby - the founding dean of the School of Medicine - and Dr. Jyotishman Pathak - founding dean of the new School of Technology for Public Health - to Arizona State University! Under their guidance, ASU Health will optimize health for all Arizonans.
