I need people to understand how difficult it is to get an NIH grant. You spend months writing a proposal, following strict guidelines that include a detailed multiyear budget, bios of everyone on your team, plans for participant safety & ethical conduct. Then you send it off -1/n
A few months ago @KarlDeisseroth & team achieved a huge milestone in the cardiac opto & interoception fields!
I enjoyed highlighting this great work at @sigtrans_sttt with @CircuitsLab & @StefanFrantz@Uniklinikum_Wue
Exciting times for 🫀/🧠 research!

As a resident I was intrigued by stats linking panic with cardiac disorders (mitral prolapse/tachycardia). 20 yrs later we finally could explore this! (w/ @HsuehBrian@ritchie_chen). William James on the right track: “we feel...afraid because we tremble”. https://t.co/LbVOEl1Sep
@eco_genome@AAASmeetings@chicago Accessibility is key. The Morcom Rose Garden in Oakland is both the literal and figurative grounds for Jenny Odell’s thoughts in How to Do Nothing (very relevant!) You can get a taste of the impact of this public space on her book here https://t.co/5k1Lr1h0Dd
@svanglofille @inspireations@theclassof2020@CityLab Structuring environments with an understanding of human’s sensory capacity is incredibly important for comfortably interacting. Urbanized points out that the eye commands an area only ~100 meters and this is why city squares often are on this scale #AAASmtg@gary_hustwit
@stanford_sciart @svanglofille @arielabergriger @kristoncapps@CityLab@AAASmeetings I think this is a wonderful idea. I have noticed this last week that artists are moving canceled art shows to Instagram and promoting each other’s work. It could work similarly with science related media.
We’re excited to be joining #AAASmtg and @svanglofille for Virtual Paperless Media today! STAR (Science Teaching through Art) is a @Stanford student org that teaches #STEM graduate students how to communicate their #research through #art!
"We can also double down on the research" is a policy I wish more candidates would adopt on more issues. The federal government should spend so much more money finding out what actually works, it would save so much in the long-run.
