We are grieving our friend and brilliant colleague Natalia Duque-Wilckens. A creative scientist, artist, caring mentor, and force for change. Words can’t describe the impact she had on lives at UC Davis, MSU, NC State and beyond. I feel lucky to have known her and wish her time didn’t end so soon

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

Tracy Bale is one of the most competent neuroscientists, there is a reason why she is the current President of the International Brain Research Organization. Firing her and other neuroscientists from any NIH board is not only unusual and unprecedented but also very intentional. They want chaos.

The letters they received this week did not include a reason for their termination.

Welp. It happened. Our NIH training grant was terminated on Friday. Just highlighting this incredibly derisive language used in our termination notice. To focus on the positives, see some of the great things our undergraduates have done over the last couple of years: web.uri.edu/esteemed/

An unelected South African has taken control of the US Treasury and is deciding to stop payments on American obligations, in violation of numerous court orders, and admits in the Oval Office that he has done so upon incorrect information, while the President sits impotently behind the Resolute Desk.
