You’re at the bar having that first drink of the night 🍻 the excited, energized feeling you may have is the “stimulant response” to alcohol - a risk factor for alcohol use disorder. We researched an understudied cell-type’s role in this response #neuroskyence www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

"efficiency"...just pondering all the lost "man"hours that went into applications for programs that no longer exist. For applicants themselves, for mentors that reviewed those applications, for committees/staff that organized those programs, for faculty that reviewed those applications

A visualization I created to share with family and friends about how the NIH indirect rate costs will hurt science AND our economy.
To understand the devastation for U.S. science right now. Here is how NIH grants work:
somebody comes up with a research idea, like a tree sapling
NIH invests in the “direct cost” of that idea, aka buys the sapling 
Let’s say that sapling is $100
