Reduced drug use without full abstinence should count as success, not failure.  This topic is very important to me, harm reduction is ALWAYS a success.

We work in sexually dimorphic brain regions and signaling elements that have sex differences. It is EQUALLY interesting when we find sex differences as when we do not, but if we don't look, we don't know. (1)

Every time I have a conversation with a graduate student or a colleague about the need to dive into a methods issue, a few days later I see that @dmcneish.bsky.social has come out with a banger of a paper that perfectly covers the topic and provides tools to implement. Bravo! And, thank you!

The number of NIH competitive awards is down 50% from 2025, and down ~70% from prior years. Even if they catch up by the end of the year, only wealthy institutions can bridge these huge funding gaps.They're killing science-and violating the constitution-by weaponizing the bureaucracy

As a largely NIAAA funded center director, I will echo the ugh ugh ugh of NIAAA not funding any new grants in 2026. We are waiting on an NIAAA F31 that received a perfect score(!) in the June/July review. And three other grants, but the unfunded F31 training grant is the real knife in the heart.
