Rockefeller researchers found intriguing evidence that a single protein variant found only in humans may have helped shape the emergence of complex speech. “This gene hints at the potential ancient origins of spoken language,” says lab head Bob Darnell. rockefeller.edu/news/37279-a-s…

Bird brains are brilliant. Neuroscientists agree. For the latest episode of Scientific Controversies, Janna Levin sat down with @ErichJarvis and Lauren Riters to discuss the fascinating neuroscience behind bird language, vocal learning, and flocking. youtu.be/b9wyVB3rGns

If you can talk, you can sing. If you can sing, you can dance. Neuroscientist @ErichJarvis used to dance at Alvin Ailey and The Joffrey Ballet—but he never thought he'd return to dance in his work with birds. youtu.be/b9wyVB3rGns?fe…

About a month after Donald Trump took office, almost all grant-review meetings remain suspended at the US National Institutes of Health, preventing the world’s largest public funder of biomedical research from spending much of its US$47 billion annual budget.

R01 resubmission was a waste. 3 years of work. 12 percentile on first submission and now it will not get reviewed. Trying to keep chin up and move forward is daunting. This storm is perfect to wipe out early stage investigators.

Did you know - the medicine that President Trump takes each day to lower his risk of having a heart attack is a direct result of NIH funding? Let me explain -
