The last 2 years have been disturbingly clarifying, scientifically, politically and organizationally. I have had to focus on what I have control over: organizing at my uni, ensuring the success of trainees in my lab and acknowledging that my approach to research may not align with future funding

Senior professors - if you want to help your junior colleagues in these times, I am begging you, review our papers. I have done 25 manuscript reviews in the last 6 years. But my own manuscript is stalled out waiting for reviewers. Relatedly, I won't be doing any more reviews until tenure. 🧪

I think Neuro could use a PLoS Neuro journal. OA, publishing rigorous work across diverse systems using genetic/molecular to systems/computational/cognitive approaches. Have lobbied for this as a @plosbiology.org Adv Board member but it hasn't happened so far. Thoughts? cc@npariente.bsky.social

I am reviewing a simply amazing paper from a relatively young US-based lab, which is in danger of shutting its doors later this year. My emotions are all over the place. The fact that this does not uniquely identify the lab I’m referring to just deepens the tragedy of this moment in US science.

When people celebrate the individual genius of folks in science, they should also mourn the collective loss of genius of folks who were actively discouraged or disadvantaged from a career in science because of the same person(s)

Started in Jan 2020 and haven’t caught a break since. But you can bet P&T committees don’t care - taking any world circumstances into account is “lowering the bar.” I’ve been told all standards for grants and publication remain the same. And I have too much service.

Just did this for a Y5 that's 2.5 months late. It supports 60% of my (90% soft money) salary, so for the past few months I've been wondering if I still have a job or not. So much riding on such absurd, cruel, and opaque practices with overworked NIH staff caught in the middle doing their best.
