This is a wonderful thread by @kohngregory.bsky.social! Read it carefully, follow the links, and spread it around. More scientists, including neuroscientists, will think better if they take the time to understand these important issues.
The deadline for our open-area senior search is approaching. If you're looking for a new academic home and, perhaps, the security of a hard-money position, please consider applying.

We have 3 current and upcoming faculty searches in our department. First, we are currently doing an open-rank Clinical-Track Faculty search. Interest in leadership (clinic director) desirable. Learn more here: psychology.uiowa.edu/about/job-op...
Congratulations to @antbergel.bsky.social and Paul-Antoine Libourel on their new paper. It was a pleasure being a part of the effort. I also enjoyed reading this article about the new findings: www.thetransmitter.org/sleep/snoozi...
Ever wonder what the earliest human behavior is? The most prevalent? Hint: It happens during sleep. Read our first paper on sleep in premature infants below. Huge effort from a talented team of scientists, physicians, research nurses, and students.

New paper (with lots of cute animal videos!)
Ever watch your dog "run" while asleep and wonder what’s going on in their brain? In Current Bio we suggest that those twitches aren't just leaky dreams—they’re a vital maintenance system for the most precise movements

Some brags land differently than others.

We will also be doing 2 Tenure-Track Faculty searches in the fall: one in Clinical Science and the other an open-area search in Neuroscience. More to come about them toward the end of the summer. Reach out to me with questions.
