new preprint by Hanna Hillman now out, showing correlations between distinct motor working memory codes and distinct motor learning processes!

Nearly 100 NIH study sections were canceled in the past month. Here is a list of the canceled meetings, compiled by Annika Barber at Rutgers Univ. As a result, the process of biomedical science funding has been halted in the United States. tinyurl.com/5auw74s4

For decades, the U.S. has funded science, then left scientists to direct their own work. Science has flourished, and the country has benefited. Now the government is testing just how much it can renegotiate that relationship, Katherine J. Wu, Ph.D. writes: theatlantic.com/health/archive…

I can't take the Oscars seriously when Hundreds of Beavers Movie didn't get a single nom.

Couldn’t not think of this image!

No Other Land just won this year’s Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. It still not been acquired by a U.S. distributor. slate.trib.al/IevW6yx

My thoughts on why we should not cut NIH funding:

This is a total farce and anybody who pays attention enough to understand this statement knows its a farce. This CR might as well be called the DOGE ENABLEMENT ACT and you’re going to let it pass. You’re not a leader, you’re a concierge.

Science and tech are two of the only we fields we either lead in or are at least globally competitive in. Much of that is due to robust federal funding and our ability to attract talented students from around the world. Incredible to target both those things at once.

At CNS 2026 Annual Meeting tomorrow (Tuesday) morning? Don't miss Juliana Trach's poster on "Neural Correlates of Reinforcement Learning in the Human Cerebellum", 8-10AM. We're excited about it -> robust RPEs in the human cerebellum, but ONLY for <1s delay between choice & feedback! #CNS2025

It's hard, maybe impossible, to fathom how stupid this all is.

This NIH researcher was doing precisely the kind of work MAHA claims to care about. But much of the assault on the NIH isn’t related to MAHA or even RFK Jr, it’s an 80s-style assault on government capacity

Every bit of this technology, not to mention the founding of Google itself, was made entirely possible by a single round of $24M awarded to 6 universities in 1994 under the Digital Libraries Initiative of the NSF. Wonder what's happening at NSF these days? Nothing bad, surely!
