truly a missed opportunity to not call every replay tonight a pon de replay #Rihanna

Really, truly hard to convey how bizarre it is to receive a hard copy of all the diary-esque emails I’ve immediately deleted over the years. However, it’s a great day for the InTouch bingo.

i need scientists to get hobbies. literally any hobby

We heard naturalistic foraging tasks were all the rage, so we thought we'd give it a try!

[Shannon Schiereck @SSchiereck]

another reason to include female rats is that they will find new and fun ways to destroy your rig as they are agents of chaos. i’m obsessed with them

Are you stressing about applications to neuroscience PhD programs? Been there... If you’re applying to NYU, students have organized a program to review your app with you before you submit and give general advice/feedback! More info and sign-up form below👇🏽

2/ --that we're among the lowest-paid doctoral research students in NYC, behind Rockefeller, Weill Cornell, Sloan Kettering, & Columbia. It's unfortunate that, as non-FT employees, I don't see how we will have the time to organize & participate in NYU PhD recruitment this year.

[Paige Leary @macrophaige]

1/ Greatly demoralized by the update that doctoral student researchers are excluded from COVID relief bonuses as NYU does not considered us FT workers. Despite working just as many hours while being the lowest-paid of the eligible research staff. Paid so low, in fact--

ok but go badgers tbh

Congratulations to our star graduate student @avmah44 for his NRSA! Andrew is studying how hidden structures of an environment are learned with the help of dopamine and guide decision making. We’re lucky to have him, just like his dog, Lucky.

A+ memeing at the @CortexGrc so far

💀 these replies once again proving that academics are painfully unaware of sports/sports twitter/apparently satire

@DaniloTPerez We survive on cheese and beer and it’s great

FENS really heard “academia is a cult” and thought it sounded like a great idea

If you think these extremists from the radical right will stop with just Roe, think again.

Contraception, LGBTQ+ rights, marriage equality…

Don’t think it can’t happen. It just did.

lmao imagine forgetting that twenty-something’s with the internet can dig up anything

@beccademics if they really hired a PR firm, i hope they get their money back because they aren’t good

[Shannon Schiereck @SSchiereck]

My favorite arguments from the “listening session” ranked:
1) we’ve hired people with questionable pasts before
2) there was an lgbtq person in his lab and he “supported” their marriage
3) we don’t police relationships because sometimes they end in marriage
