NIH encourages applications for research with activities related to diversity (ReWARD) (R01). See: grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/p…

NIH encourages applications to support research opportunities for new and "at-risk" investigators to promote workforce diversity. Learn more: grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/p…

Reminder that Abstract submission is open for the XVIII Workshop on Neurobiology of Epilepsy (WONOEP)! This will be a fantastic meeting focused on how the brain adapts to epilepsy, held in a beautiful venue near Lisbon, Portugal. ilae.org/congresses/xvi…

🚨Sex‐specific differences in mortality and neurocardiac interactions in the Kv1.1 knockout mouse model of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) 🚨 physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/JP…

In a postmortem analysis of more than 10,000 people with dementia, Zawar et al. show that those with ongoing seizures in the year prior to death died at a younger age and had more severe neurodegeneration and neuropathology linked to Alzheimer's disease. tinyurl.com/3kcrdafn

New paper alert! 🚨 My PhD work is officially out in Brain Communications! This study links corticolimbic excitatory neurons to epilepsy and seizure-related death from cardiorespiratory failure in a key SUDEP mouse model. academic.oup.com/braincomms/art… Glasscock Lab @BrainComms

Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as “indirect costs.” Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above

It's official: SMU has achieved Carnegie Research One (R1) classification, joining the ranks of the nation’s top public and private research institutions. Read more: bit.ly/4hBQHBU
