“COVID has severely reduced the ability of behavioral and brain researchers to collect new data. At the same time, it has created uncertainty for universities, many of which have reduced or eliminated faculty hiring. The impact of this twin disruption falls especially heavily on the shoulders of recent PhDs and current postdoctoral fellows, who are unable to proceed with planned career trajectories and may leave science altogether.”  - Nora S.
