For the first time in 10 years, a child has died from measles in the United States. Vaccines prevent measles. Americans need to hear our top health officials say clearly: every child in America should get vaccinated against this terrible disease.

Exactly! We have shifted to a world where *everything* is for sale. This has seeped into academia but also the science itself e.g., carbon credits. Suggesting pay for reviews misses the root causes: overworked academics, low value of service activities (despite what job committees say) etc..

The Trump Administration announced massive cuts to NIH indirect costs yesterday. The maximum indirect rate will now be 15%, slashing the rates our universities receive. Most universities are accustomed to receiving 45-65% on each grant. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

Ignoring a few decades of media/political environment, Ezra Klein thinks that in creating cycles of outrage or fear, you "overwhelm yourself". This is a serious miscalculation. I agree, don't get overwhelmed. Sure, don't believe him. But mobilise and build safeguards as if you did.
