Gave a recent talk to the ACS CANN about our work on terpenes as a treatment for pain and addiction. Give it a listen! www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZOo...

They did give a reason in the email they sent to us. You see, giving us a little grace to help us balance the load was “too much work” for them. Poor dears.

Well, there goes Continuous Submission. Whatever they can do to monkeywrench the grant system and make it harder for us.

John Streicher @johnstreicher.bsky.social · 26/03/2026

So against all the odds and a little over a month before my lab dies, I got a grant with a fundable score. Only to be told today that it would not be funded, because the funder "very rarely" funds first submissions. Man, what the fuck are we doing here???

While we’re at it, “gold standard.” Gold Standard science is apparently no science at all!

Professor Dave has done a yeoman's job in debunking the misuse of science by vaccine denialists that are so rampant on social media. Check it out! I make an appearance around the 1:20 mark! www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FFQ...

You think scientists love acronyms? Ha! You naïf! You fool! No one can ever love acronyms more than the US Armed Forces.

Sorry I think I messed up didn’t know there was more than 1 program! bsky.app/profile/john...

The notice came from “help@ebrap.org”. But looking at Mike below, I didn’t realize there’s a PRCRP? I’m PRMRP. Sorry didn’t realize there was a separate group!

John Streicher @johnstreicher.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

Oh mine was definitely not funded! Maybe delays? I didn’t see any cancer groups in the disease sets, were you under pancreatitis?

bsky.app/profile/john... Well they’re out now! 😞

John Streicher @johnstreicher.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

All of them (I think). I got the email about 2 hrs ago. A decision letter is uploaded into eBRAP that outlines which were funded and total rates. Quite a few disease areas had no funded grants!

CDMRP decisions dropped today. They funded 19 grants. Total. For the whole program. 1.9%. Not sure how anyone is supposed to survive this kind of environment.

I would also love to know this!

John Streicher @johnstreicher.bsky.social · 20/01/2026

Does anyone know when/if CDMRP-PRMRP funding decisions and reviews are being released? The lack of info is killing me!

John Streicher @johnstreicher.bsky.social · 24/12/2025

Not sure if any of you cannabis scientists associate with CannMed, but if so, I suggest you cut ties. The founder is a transphobic bigot that uses invalid research to promote vaccine denialism. Wish I had known that before I went on their podcast!

New paper! This is the marquee effort of my talented student Jessy Bowden, who identified a unique role for Src kinase signaling in microglia for promoting opioid signal transduction and pain relief in the spinal cord. Congrats Jessy! journals.lww.com/pain/fulltex...

Please please please help me get the word out about this. I’m afraid everyone is ignoring our emails. We’ve sent literally thousands and have <10 people enrolled. For reference, we need several hundred. So if you’re not a PI in one of these programs but know someone who is, pls send them this 🙏🙏🙏

I remember maybe 2-3 years ago there was a big social media tempest over nurses insisting they be called “scientists.” Not research coordinators or anything, just regular providers. I don’t get the impulse. We do different things! Some do both, but not that many.

These guys *desperately* need cognitive scientists as a part of these projects.

Just saw a graduate fellowship that specifies an "*unmarried* female graduate student." What????

John Streicher @johnstreicher.bsky.social · 19/05/2025

On what do you base that judgment? I've talked with NIH employees. I've seen what the admin is trying to do, myself and from others. I know they are fascists, and fascists have a long and documented history of failure and destruction. Why so confident?

000

John Streicher @johnstreicher.bsky.social · 19/05/2025

I've been thinking a lot about the question of replication rates. Many people claim that ~50% replication rates represent a "crisis" but I've never seen that judgment justified (or even explained). What should the rate be? Why should be expect that rate? Why SHOULDN'T it be 50%?

John Streicher @johnstreicher.bsky.social · 17/05/2025

I still don’t understand what point you are trying to make and what it has to do with the post you first responded to.

000

John Streicher @johnstreicher.bsky.social · 17/05/2025

Not following your point Alex. It doesn’t matter if the fascists make up 1% or 99% of the population. Their plans are the same either way. Resist or lie down and die, your choice.

000

John Streicher @johnstreicher.bsky.social · 16/05/2025

Science won’t exist if the fascists win. So perhaps the HHMI should defend their own purpose and future by helping us defeat the fascists.

Also some very talkative people have become notably silent. Since 1/20/25 and still going.

John Streicher @johnstreicher.bsky.social · 16/05/2025

Just breathtaking cowardice. Which is basically what I’ve come to expect from most institutions. Although this is particularly galling coming from a group of people that styled themselves leaders in the fight to improve science.
