I'm excited to get to work with this wonderful group of scientists to build community, organize conferences and centralize links to resources in brain body research!
Thrilled to help launch the NIH Blueprint Coordination Center for Interoception Research (BPCCIR) with @KhalsaLab (UCLA), @ruimcosta (Allen Institute), @andermann_mark (Harvard/BIDMC) & @lab_xin
(UCSF), and our broader team. We will build a collaborative community and advance the science of brain–body communication. Appreciate the NIH's vision for interoception science.

“The new policy means that the number of grants that can be funded this year will drop dramatically. And that will decimate US biomedical science labs across the country, and set back medical research and cures for disease by years.”
“Sources inside NIH say that this rigid and sweeping multi-year funding policy did not come from NIH, but instead from political appointees at HHS or the White House.”
