NIH is requesting comments on a new draft policy that may require human brain imaging data (and other data) from nih-funded research to only be shared via controlled access, & only with certain countries. I suggest neuroimagers read closely & submit comments by 3/18. osp.od.nih.gov/comment-form...

Coming back to regular life is rough, so here’s one last memory from #CNS2026: BEHOLD! The ✨BRIGHT✨ and 🧠brainy 🧠 future of #cognitiveneuroscience! #BlackInNeuro #BlackInPsych Their posters & presence bring so much to our field & it was so nice to watch them bond over their conference experience!

Look at these incredible trainees! When I was a grad trainee, my first solo conference was CNS, so it feels very full circle to bring my own graduate trainees to #CNS2026 for their first society-level poster presentation!

Best part of today’s #CNS2026 (and there were many to choose from) this glorious picture of Dr. Joe LeDoux and my little lab (sans Miguel who we couldn’t find!)

D. Experience and expertise matter a great deal, and this approach risks bringing in people with insufficient experience and expertise to make good decisions.

C. American science is already severely thwarted by short-term appropriations, e.g., annual appropriations for NIH, making it harder to fund long-term projects. Scientific advances take time! The turnover produced by politicizing appointments at NIH and other funding agencies would be damaging.

B. Civil service protection has been in place for generations of non-partisan workers who are devoted to serving their country. We will not be able to recruit the best, unbiased people to these roles if their job security depends on the views and whims of political factions.

A. Grant-making is not policy-making and it is concerning that it is viewed that way. Grant-making's goal is to support work to increase science knowledge. Grants should be reviewed and funded based on the quality and potential of the science they propose. Science is non-partisan and non-political.

Coming up with the first post always feels so daunting — to many things to convey and not enough character space. Maybe it’s enough to breathe in the bot free air 😮‍💨 and start finding the other brain 🧠 nerds…#BlackinNeuro #blackinSTEM #NewPI #Cannabinerd
