Since the midterms, I have gone from elation to despair, regarding Jeffries and Schumer. I needed to keep track of who’s supporting them and who’s against them, so I built something to keep track.
It’s called The Record.

Senator Darline Graham, who stepped in to fill her brother @LindseyGrahamSC’s seat after he passed suddenly, has an unusual background — Decades in disability service provision. I interviewed advocates she has worked with about what that might mean. 19thnews.org/2026/07/darline…

❗ Are you an early-career researcher working on neurodevelopmental or neuropsychiatric conditions? ❗
We have an active funding opportunity that closes soon, so don't miss your chance to apply.
We're offering $10,000 USD in seed funding for a selected proposal, with additional projects eligible for community crowdfunding. We're looking for work on autism, OCD, schizophrenia, anxiety, mood disorders, and stress or PTSD. This can be novel treatment approaches, basic mechanistic studies, preclinical animal models, biomarker development, or computational and imaging work.
The application is lightweight: just a 1-3 page proposal, with no administrative documents required. We aim to make funding decisions within a few weeks.
The deadline is July 15, so be sure to submit before then.
Link in the comments! If you can share with your colleagues or students, that would be a big help.

This one is hard to see.
The NIH Early Independence Award, one of the most competitive grants in the country for young scientists, will not go forward in FY2026. NIH says this is due to “administrative changes to funding opportunity processing and delays in approvals.”

🚨eConsent can promote research cost-effectiveness & equity, but how does it compare to traditional consent in terms of informedness? In this RCT, we found the eConsent framework used by NIH's All of Us & Apple ResearchKit was noninferior (& in an exploratory analysis, superior)

💥🇭🇺🗳️ BREAKING: Péter Magyar says Viktor Orbán called to concede and congratulate him.
Magyar will be Hungary’s next prime minister and, as it stands, is set to secure a 2/3 supermajority – enough to fully dismantle Orbán’s system.

New AI paper from us this week. When my student first showed me his initial findings, I really didn’t know what to make of them. I felt that this was an interesting but curious loophole phenomenon that would shortly be closed. I was very wrong.
