Periodic reminder that my lab @EmoryUniversity is looking for people! We're seeking postdocs (hi @neurophd_emory grads!) and will be hiring a new technician next year. We use cutting-edge tools to study neural circuits and behavior in flies 🧠🪰🔬🧬

@Goodflies If cutting costs is the goal, this should be undertaken through two-sided discussions and auditing of expenditures, not an across the board slash with zero notice. This is not a good-faith effort to cut costs; it's obviously an effort to cripple universities and science.

Good explainer about indirect costs. They support the infrastructure that is absolutely essential for research. Maybe they should be lower, but unilaterally cutting from ~52% to 15% with no notice is not a good-faith effort to cut costs, it's an attempt to destroy universities.
1) Since there is a lot of confusion about the reduction of the overhead rate on NIH grants to 15% (see here: I'll do a little tweetorial (or X-torial?) about it.

@DrCristinaRiso Yeah, most of the time my brain seems to want to work on things that are way down on the priority list. But then it's nice to open a folder a few months later and realize I already started a draft of a grant/paper/talk that I didn't even remember doing 😅

@SergeyStavisky Thanks Sergey. Yeah, having lab members be more self-sufficient and handle some of the problems has made things a lot easier. I hope you're doing well (certainly seems like it from the outside)!

@leslievosshall @NobelPrize Not sure these are great examples (as pointed out by others too). Immunity has an IF in the 30s/40s and the others are in the 10-20 range! I agree with the sentiment of the tweet, but treating everything below CNS as low impact is also part of the problem...

In case anyone wants to know how my week is going 😅 (PS I'm mostly on 🦋 now but testing engagement with this cross-post...)

@AmericanAir WTF is up with changing my seat at the last second, from the seat I chose months ago and confirmed at check-in to a crappy one in the back row?! These kinds of shenanigans are why I always try to fly @SouthwestAir instead
