📈🧠 We're looking for brains! 🧠📈 Postdoc + PhD positions are available to help pioneer fetal MEG with optically pumped magnetometers, measuring prenatal responses to sound and light to understand how we start making sense of the world even before we're born. 🐣 Please get in touch to hear more!

From my PhD advisor @kenmiller.bsky.social at Columbia. These are the grants that funded my PhD.

So the NIH grant terminations at Columbia turned out to be:
-- all training grants (T series), which were all required to have extensive sections addressing diversity
-- grad student and postdoc fellowships (F series)
-- center and core grants (P series), including a cancer center, Alzheimer's center, diabetes center and more, and the vision core grant Michael Goldberg has been PI of for 17 years that provides shared facilities (machine shop, imaging, ...) for vision researchers
-- a smattering of individual research grants, apparently targeting anything to do with covid, vaccines, or HIV, and including one study with title involving study of diverse tissues, i.e. with the verboten word diverse.
