🍂 🏛️ 👿 🧪 SAFE Act Bans Federal Funding for Scientists with Ties to Chinese Researchers or Trainees

Billed has been passed by US House of Representatives
mbkplus.bsky.social Mike Boylan-Kolchin @mbkplus.bsky.social · 12d
Yikes. Banning people for activities such as co-authorship and advising a graduate student is completely unreasonable in a modern research environment. And a retroactive 5 year ban is wildly unfair.
The Securing American Funding and Expertise from Adversarial Research Exploitation (SAFE) Act would deny federal funding to any U.S. scientist who collaborates with anyone "affiliated with a hostile foreign entity," a category that includes four countries: China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. The prohibited activities would include joint research, co-authorship on papers, and advising a foreign graduate student or postdoctoral fellow. The language is retroactive, meaning any interactions during the previous 5 years could make a scientist ineligible for future federal funding.

A great read from Will, here! I’ve had the app on my phone for a week now (my bean is named “Weenie”), but only used it twice. If you are a phone game addict like me, the recent trend of apps progressively rarifying virtual rewards may have desensitized you to the pain of not getting your socks 😢

A focus app created by @hankgreen.bsky.social, was briefly the #1 free app on the Play Store! But will it actually help users with their attention?

I try the app myself, and look to a recent study that examined whether blockers improve sustained attention and mental health. My takes here:

New preprint! 🧠

Our mind wanders at rest. By periodically probing ongoing thoughts during resting-state fMRI, we show these thoughts are reflected in brain network dynamics and contribute to pervasive links between functional brain architecture and everyday behavior (1/10).

Ongoing thoughts at rest reflect functional brain organization and behavior
Resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC)-brain connectivity observed when people rest with no external tasks-predicts individual differences in behavior. Yet, rest is not idle; it involves streams...
