New work out with Nesha Burghardt's group. During chronic social defeat stress, mice are fear conditioned to avoid the social target, opening the possibility for using social defeat stress as a window into fear learning about a social cue. authors.elsevier.com/c/1jl7jbrwfMesn

Opening for a postdoc in my neuroscience lab at Pitt using cutting edge population imaging and electrophysiology techniques to map circuits regulating internal states and their manifestations. My contact is on lab website: stujenske-lab.github.io

Lots of misinformation about indirects. Indirects pay our rent, ulitilies (e.g. electric), maintenance costs for our space (janitors, painters, plumbers), IT infrastructure, the admins who do many hours of work to help us apply for grants,... we can't request direct $ for these!

Indirects don't only cover "administrative costs" and they aren't a "slush fund." We can't use directs to pay for ANY shared resources/people. Research buildings where we work cost lots of money to build and maintain. Universities employ many people, and most are not Harvard...

Research like this will not continue at this same pace if the attack on NIH funding continues.

Many in biotech/private sector are boasting about their ways of funding and doing science But they are staffed with PhDs and postdocs we train in our NIH and U.S. National Science Foundation funded labs in universities With uni labs lacking funds to train, the private sector will be profoundly harmed

The NIH indirect cut does not cause money redistribution, it just cuts money onto existing grants. If there was a redistribution of money that could almost be reasonable. That's NOT what is happening.

Physicians who go into research have to be dreamers. Only 1.5% of doctors work as scientists & they earn about 60% what they would make as clinicians. medscape.com/viewarticle/99… 5/6

My time in industry convinced me of the importance of basic, government funded science research. It was crazy how much of the stuff we did was based directly on academic research that in-and-of-itself would have been too risky and/or too low-return for the company to do

The ruthless and baseless purge of NIH staff is continuing through the weekend. Please publicize as much as possible. …-nbcwashington-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.nbcwas…

It's clear that many do not understand what NIH-funded research does to improve health. It's time to revive a study published 10 years ago that provides incredible information about this. link in the comment Every single new drug approved by the FDA from 2010–2016 was built on

Funding from the NIH contributed to the development of 354 out of 356 (99.4%) of the new drugs approved by the FDA between 2010 and 2019, and 🚨 100% 🚨 of FDA approved drugs btw 2010-2016. NIH funding is the backbone of American biomedical innovation. #protecttheNIH
