Held to higher standards. Left off invitations. Pointed to as “diversity” but ignored.
These are just some of the hundreds of examples of devaluation women faculty in the United States shared with computational social scientist Katie Spoon. These experiences, more common for women than men, are to blame for the higher rate of attrition for women faculty, Spoon and colleagues report in a new analysis.

ALT A group of individuals walks away from an open door on a red background. One individual stands in a separate doorway to the side. The text above reads: "For women academics, feeling devalued can be a fatal career blow."

Excited to share the lab's first fiber photometry paper, out now in #JNeurosci 🎉😃🐀🧠💫
This one feels particularly special: it marks a new experimental direction for the lab and reflects so much hard work, troubleshooting, learning, and persistence from an incredible team 🔬✨
Does resource scarcity blunt the maternal brain’s reward system? Not exactly. New in #JNeurosci: Rat mothers with reduced nesting materials show altered VTA dopamine neuron activity around insensitive caregiving and pup separation, but not food reward.

How animals detect the Earth’s magnetic field remains a mystery in sensory biology.
In a new Science study, researchers used whole brain activity mapping, tissue clearing, and light sheet microscopy to identify neuronal populations activated by magnetic stimuli in the pigeon. Learn more: scim.ag/3MrcjXe

"I sat in my supervisor’s office, red-faced and anxious, words tumbling out faster than I could control. For half an hour, I vented everything I had been holding in for months: the stress, the doubt, the sense that I didn’t belong. I was in the third year of my Ph.D., and a creeping fear had taken root that I wasn’t cut out for academia.
"I expected some kind of judgment or disappointment. Instead, my supervisor listened patiently, then calmly offered a line I’ll never forget: 'You are here to learn to ride a bicycle, not to invent a bicycle.' That one sentence landed softly, but it cracked something open."

A new study indicates that both family struggles and outside stressors shape adolescent behavior and wellbeing. The results suggest a two-way relationship, where early emotional or behavioral problems can also increase exposure to later adversity. dlvr.it/TNq7j6

- Science PhD admissions reduced by more than 75%
- Arts & Humanities reduced by about 60%
- Social Sciences by 50–70%
- History by 60%
- Biology by 75%
- The German department will lose all PhD seats
- Sociology from six PhD students to zero
