- Looking forward to this book! His previous book, Race on the Brain, was a phenomenal and important read at the intersection of neuroscience and critical race theory.

- Damn, this is devastating and cruel. My IRACDA postdoctoral experience was amazing and I wouldn’t be where I am today without it 😡😢
- Reposted by Daniel Dorman, PhDThis is almost the entirety of JHUs funding. If this does not get EVERY. SINGLE. UNIVERSITY. off their asses and find a spine, I don’t know what will. They will not stop with Columbia and Maine and Hopkins. They are coming for all of higher education. We all need to respond. #GeneralStrike

- Excellent resource here, including a slide deck, for teaching students about science funding! Any similar additional resources out there? I would love to add some graphics quantifying the consequences of the current attacks on science.
- So many students are curious about science funding and not at all in the know. This is the perfect moment to fill them in. www.thetransmitter.org/how-to-teach...
- This is devastating! I was privileged to do an NSF REU as an undergraduate and it was a transformative experience for my career trajectory.

- Reposted by Daniel Dorman, PhDThis does away with awards based on underrepresentation, student support services based on race, scholarships, etc. Let me explain, pre coffee (wrote this morning, no time to update, you're getting a cut n paste), why this is a bad idea. 🧵 www.insidehighered.com/news/diversi...

This is a direct attack on universities. “Pursuant to this Supplemental Guidance, there will be a standard rate of 15% across all NIH grants for indirect costs.” 😮 Just a devastating Friday night news dump. #scicomm #academicaky

- Who originated the idea of computational #neuroscience? I credit Ada Lovelace (1815-1852): “I have my hopes, & very distinct ones, too, of one day getting cerebral phenomena such that I can put them into mathematical equations: in short… laws for the mutual actions of the molecules of the brain.”
