The Trump administration's chaotic changes to diversity-based funding have left trainees in limbo. My colleagues and I at @_TheTransmitter spoke to ten neuroscience trainees about what the uncertainty means for them, their research and their futures:

FEATURE: When scientific fraud occurs in the lab, many consequences follow. Some are professional—retractions, rescinded grants—whereas others are deeply personal. Our investigation explores what happens to the people left behind. By @callimcflurry

“I feel a little bit in limbo,” says neuroscientist Stephanie Noble, who has paused a study using Biobank data after the repository shifted from a data download to a cloud-only access model.

Really enjoyed chatting with @russpoldrack and @Wessel_Lab about their experience as guinea pigs in a post-publication error hunt, plus how and why the neuroscience field should normalize mistakes. Read the interview here: https://t.co/ln1WgDHmbc

The guinea pigs for a post-publication error-spotting project discuss why the field should destigmatize slipups—and how to handle them better.

My story unspools the history of US scientists who studied the Chilean rodent (including this groovy Vermonter), and highlights the detective work of the lab that cracked the inbreeding problem.

New funky animal story just dropped! 20 years ago, a lab in Chile reported that every degu develops Alzheimer's disease pathology when they age. But other labs couldn't find any plaques. Turns out the controversy was caused by decades of inbreeding.

But new genetic analyses and behavioral assays have made the Chilean degu a viable model again, researchers say.
