Here is my OpEd about the impacts of restructuring the NIH thehill.com/opinion/health…

“Everyone who has ever taken medication, from ibuprofen for a headache to immunotherapy for cancer…” has benefited from the fruits of basic science research. Science is a long term investment that has been reliably paying off for centuries. Check out Cory Miller

I’m assembling a group of scientists to publicly address the potential upcoming NIH 40% budget cut. This will be a very public matter. Direct message me if you’re interested. But this will be the only issue we’re going to address. Not university politics, immigration etc. 40%…!

My new piece in Nature Human Behavior: "We need to fight for the next generation of US researchers". All trainees need three things to thrive. In the US, those things have been ripped away. We need to fight to get them back. Share link: nature.com/articles/s4156…

Federal funding of science has been cut, and trainee scientists in the US face an unstable and uncertain future. Nicole Rust explains how and why we should act to support junior US researchers at this time. nature.com/articles/s4156…

In this excerpt, I fast forward to the end of Elusive Cures to explain why I am so unequivocally optimistic about the next steps for brain research. For those of you who like to listen, I've narrated this clip (~10 min). Text is there too. Thank you, The Transmitter!

Of course, time will tell. You can be frustrated with some things about scientific funding in the past and still stand against the 40% budget cut pending this fall. It’s impossible to overstate the importance of funding the next generation of scientists.

Exactly! This is the ethos I was channeling in Elusive Cures. When we look back in 30 years, this is what we will point to as the genius of this era. It’s bubbling up more and more 👏👏👏

In this episode of “Brain Inspired,” Paul Middlebrooks and Nicole C Rust, PhD discuss how understanding the brain as a complex dynamical system will help us accelerate treatments for brain disorders. Listen now: thetransmitter.org/brain-inspired…

Just finished this excellent new book from Nicole C Rust, PhD . Although we have collected lots of facts about the brain, we still don't know how it functions, or how to fix it when it breaks. Nicole provides a Grand Plan, which views the brain as a complex dynamical system. Inspiring!

What's the strongest current thesis for a problem that can only be solved by bidirectionally interfacing with *millions* of neurons in the human brain?

Robust & reliable federal funding is crucial for America's scientific leadership and the health of all Americans. SfN calls on federal agencies to halt these destabilizing actions. Read the full statement from SfN president, John H. Morrison, PhD 🔗 vist.ly/3n8cqdi
