I think yes 💄🧠

the field of environmental neuroscience is growing fast - please see our updated review on how outdoor pollutants affect human neuroimaging outcomes in childhood and adolescence. Congrats Jessica Morrel for leading the effort on this massive and v v detail-oriented review!

important work from the USC Herting NeuroImaging Lab !!

interesting read featuring some work from the USC Herting NeuroImaging Lab !

I need people to understand how difficult it is to get an NIH grant. You spend months writing a proposal, following strict guidelines that include a detailed multiyear budget, bios of everyone on your team, plans for participant safety & ethical conduct. Then you send it off -1/n

So, just checking, the free-speech folks who didn't like 'wokeness' because it curtailed their free expression are now ok with the gov't scrubbing taxpayer funded health & science communications and censoring everything with the word "gender" on it?

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

So… every project gets pulled? The list of words banned is exhaustive. If you can’t see this as the blatant attack on science that it is, I literally can’t help you

update! last week, I successfully defended my PhD in neuroscience. The path to becoming Dr. Cotter was not as straightforward as 12-year-old me thought it would be but we made it. So grateful to my mentor, my lab, and my friends and fam for helping me achieve this lifelong dream.
