NEW: a column in the Times argues that the only way to tackle obesity is through fat shaming (yes, you read that right). It’s an astonishing argument to make, and unsurprisingly it falls to pieces under scrutiny. Let’s take a look, and see if we can do better:

BOOK GIVEAWAY & POST-BAC THREAD 🔊 Let's raise awareness of all of the amazing PREP/post-bac programs out there! Reply with a description of a program that you'd like to support. At the end of next week, I'll randomly choose one & send you 10 books for your students!📚

For those interested, my department has a FULLY FUNDED Masters Program in Experimental Psychology. The deadline is February 1, and we don't accept GRE scores. Faculty support student interests in behavioral neuroscience, social, cognitive, clinical, and developmental psychology.

Yes, very excited to meet new colleagues! Please apply and share! Future PI Slack BlackInGenetics Latinx in STEM @LatinxInNeuro #Neurojobs

Because unfortunately many trainees rely on mentors that have treated them badly, harassed, or abused them. Their previous mentors often have a lot of power, especially if they are on their reference lists. I have endured toxic mentorship because I needed it and it sucks.

Highly recommend the NIH Intramural Summer Internship Program (and subprograms)! If you apply, make sure to reach out to NIH PIs you're interested in working with. Send a quick intro email and ask them to take a look at the SIP application portal if interested training.nih.gov/programs/sip

Cultural mentorship training is needed in academia. Anecdotally, I’ve heard of/witnessed countless PI’s assume their Black mentees are angry (when that mentee is really depressed) then work to punish said mentee for not acting how they think they should… journals.lww.com/nursingresearc…

Come be me for 1-2yrs!! We're looking for a sabbatical replacement (ideally behavioral neuroscientist!) to teach Bio Psych, lab course in beh neuro, intro psych, upper level seminar of your choosing! Amazing location, superb students and colleagues - amazing gig! DM with Qs!

And the paper is out! 🎉🎉🎉 If you'd told me 10 years ago my lab would have a paper in the journal Appetite I wouldn't have believed you- huge congratulations to clinician-scientist Dr. Britny Hildebrandt for pioneering a totally new direction within the lab! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36682623/

And we're all so excited to work with you 💞💞

Two interesting threads here from Nancy Kanwisher @[email protected] and Lisa Feldman Barrett, highlighting opposing views of brain organisation:

My new paper is out in PLOS Biology about art 🎨 and science 🧪collaborations! We argue that ✨art and science are one in the same✨ and provide recommendations for researchers & universities about how to support sci/art synergy. 👉🏽Read it here: journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

This Valentine’s Day, please think of the 100 M hearts that broke this past week in Turkey and Syria. 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔 #earthquakeinturkey #deprem

THREAD: This is the most exciting research I have been involved in – peering back into the sensory world of our long-extinct relatives, the Neanderthals and Denisovans. This thread summarises what we found, the paper (OA) is here 1/n cell.com/iscience/fullt…

Very excited that our study on how ANKK1 in D2R neurons is involved reward and metabolism regulation is now out on Biological Psychiatry ! Grateful to all our precious colleuges Claire Martin Giuseppe Gangarossa 🧠🧑‍🔬🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈 et al. From Université Paris Cité and collaborators Dana Small.

Did you know there is NIH funding for available to support a student transitioning from a toxic or unsafe lab space to a new lab? Faculty can apply for “Re-entry and Re-Integration Supplements”. I had no idea this resource existed! #AcademicTwitter #phdchat

We had the best time! I feel so lucky to be part of such a supportive local neuroscience community 💞.
