Strong disagree. (1) 10 years ago they would not have included Katie in the prize, even if Drew have advocated for her. This prize going to the two of them DOES represent change. (2) In the current climate of dunking on academia and basic science, it is an essential message.

It is my understanding that the Specific Aims page is the most important part of an NIH grant application. Can we envision a mechanism where Specific Aims page is submitted first, and then a full proposal is invited (a la Letters of Intent)? Why not?

students -
your PIs ability to remember decades of papers by author names is because your PI is old and was present* when the project was conceived and the paper published
*as in, we know the authors irl so not that hard to remember what they did

Academic research is imperfect, inequitable, and underfunded.
Yet we keep at it, because it is a necessary and essential good.
Before you tweet to discourage young scientists, consider the world without public school teachers, public defenders, social workers, and librarians.

The more time you spend planning experiments, the less time you spend repeating them. Or as my Dad said - it doesn't matter how many experiments you do, as long as you do the RIGHT experiment.
Don't devalue the effort you spend on tasks that support your research project. Updating notebook, planning an experiment,

So I think one piece that might be important to say is that once you have a baby all of your priorities will change. Maybe not forever, maybe not in the same way, but trying to imagine how you'll do your current life after you're a parent is futile. You won't be the same person.

We frame MDD as susceptibility to environmental conditions that promote depression. Under harsh conditions, most individuals are resilient and do not develop depression. As neurobiologists, we are interested in identifying molecular pathways that promote resilience.

fr students think that 1999 is too old
how many times should we 'discover' that CREB is a master regulator? or that PFC projects to amygdala? everytime there is new method? eff that noise
