Currently, they are awarded for the duration of studies. The proposal seeks to change this to be for a specific time period. Should, for example, a PhD student not complete their studies in the allotted time frame, they would be required to leave the country. I think this would very negatively impact our research enterprise!<br/> <br/> There is a possibility to submit comments to this proposal: <a href="https://www.regulations.gov/document/ICEB-2025-0001-0001">https://www.regulations.gov/document/ICEB-2025-0001-0001</a><br/> <br/> Previous similar proposals were scrapped after 20k+ comments. This proposal currently has 9k. I submitted a comment discouraging this change. Consider commenting as well!<br/> <br/> Comment period is open through Sept 29.&#34;<br/><br/>I suspect (hope) folks here will be interested in commenting. You can comment anonymously (I did). 2025-09-19T03:30:07Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsvc5yec47ahzdqn06zl44thq2e30fjklspjwa8gq2r5a2ureywqvgzyqska3l0lxewef5qltlgnrcpheyavleupls6a5ww28lewf3wrc2nqu3446q In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8kxw5jsezpz4ltmy6lfxxas4z4a3nw6avs3ls7ztp438q30ld9hcwunk3f'>nevent1q…nk3f</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>yeah, I definitely agree that technology is pretty inaccessible to use well (for the purposes you&#39;re describing) if you are not one of the labs that has already gone all in on imaging techniques, but I do marvel at the innovations from that field! 2025-07-17T00:06:14Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsyr87jq6g8hhju4zsl80wsyphzdakjzduu69pfdanxfy3mkkl2z6gzyqska3l0lxewef5qltlgnrcpheyavleupls6a5ww28lewf3wrc2nqtrxyr5 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdqg4kvyt2zpygf09av3vdsfcpek74vpxqu7yj4czzcqzvstszkkcss3xtc'>nevent1q…3xtc</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I absolutely would have agreed with you when I started grad school, but recent GCaMPs seem very fast and bright!<br/><br/><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-05828-9">https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-05828-9</a><br/><br/>Granted, the rest of what you need to do to get to the point where you can actually collect data (let alone analyze it) is pretty monumental. And obviously still worse temporal resolution than ephys. But ephys isn&#39;t a walk in the park either, and those videos of cells fluorescing were what hooked me on neuroscience in undergrad haha. So pretty! 2025-07-16T21:45:38Z
