Exclusive: NIH appears to archive policy requiring female animals in studies
thetransmitter.org
Such a shift would “put us back in the dark ages in terms of our science,” says neuroscientist Anne Murphy, who helped to formulate the original policy.

The Trump administration's efforts to slash research funding have US graduate students, postdocs and other early-career scientists fearing for their careers. Some are considering changing jobs or leaving the country. Others say them might abandon research altogether.

After 5 years of data collection (179 first-time mothers + controls), and 2 years of data analyses and article writing, the first @BeMotherProject paper is out! We uncovered a U-shaped trajectory in maternal GM volume, resolving a long-standing puzzle in the maternal brain field.
Can’t believe our new @NatureComms paper is out! ✨🧠🤰 We tracked a cohort of 179 women before, during, and post-pregnancy, revealing a U-shaped trajectory in the mother’s brain structure linked to steroid hormone fluctuations and maternal attachment. #ParentalBrain 🧵👇
