This is going to be a long battle. The point is ‘shock and awe’ to take away your motivation to fight this stupidity. Don’t give in.

Powerful story from Kate Zernike from the NYT
Covers the diversity of young scientists targeted by the anti-DEI BS. Definitely worth a read and a share.

Super proud of my PhD student, Emma Moravec, on her oral presentation at #NER2025 this morning! She presented her work identifying H-reflex sensory responses following optogenetic tibial nerve stimulation toward optimizing viral vectors for motor or sensory specific stimulation.
There are so many reasons university endowments can't make up for the dramatic cuts the Trump administration has planned for science.
