For an educational project, I am looking for Interneting examples of null results in neuroscience research, tentatively defined as : "experiment found no statistically significant effect, difference, or relationship between the variables being tested" Respond here or DM if you have ideas or opinions

I'm moving to a new scientific home! I was recruited by the Max Planck institute as a senior scientist at the MPINB (mpinb.mpg.de/en/), starting Dec 1st. Very exciting new and old projects in the best neuroethology hub. I visited there earlier this month, and I really like Bonn so far :)

The MPINB is a neuroethology institute that studies how the collective activity of interconnected neurons in the brain gives rise to the plethora of animal behaviors.

The latest NIH grant chaos: NIH apparently sent stop-work orders to all *97* MARC and U-RISE programs in the country. These programs support underrepresented undergrads interested in health research careers. MARC dates to 1977. Over 48 years, the programs have supported thousands of students.

Do you know who Douglas Prasher is? Many don't, even though he is the person who cloned the original #GFP gene in the late 1980s. In my short history of plant light #microscopy I also cover a bit of his story - & why he is relatively unknown today, despite the importance of his work. See this 🧵👇

I know this site only reaches a subset of neuro/ cog professors. If you know a young professor in the area who would benefit from a week of targeted learning about doing good science, good mentoring, networking etc, it would be great if you could forward them: compneurosci.com/Neuro4Pros/i...

Even in the 'good' days, students/PDs on visas were always worried that they would run afoul of the law and be asked to leave. I know - I was on a student visa myself. I can't even begin to imagine their fear and anxiety now. Time for all university leaders to collectively step up and speak out!!
