If you're going to watch Murderbot on Apple TV, consider adding it to your watchlist. It's kind of like pre-ordering a book, it tells the streaming service that you're there for our show. Link for US viewers: tv.apple.com/us/show/murd... (You can also search for it on the app.)

Trump's job approval spread is now -5% (50.7% approve, 45.7% disapprove) On Jan 21, 2025, the spread was +11.6%. That's a huge swing of 16.6% in less than 3 months. Thank God Nate Silver picked up after 538 was shut down. www.natesilver.net/p/trump-appr...

Finally, >50% disapprove. Thank God Nate Silver picked up after 538 was shut down. Trumps approval has declined 5pts from his 2025 high. Disapproval increased by 10pts. That's insane for 2.5 months. GOP backbone is proportional to Trump Disapproval %. www.natesilver.net/p/trump-appr...

NIH SBIR/STTR grant 3/31/2025 update NO new SBIR/STTR awards last week and only 9 total since 3/1/2025 per NIH RePORTER. Again, WTF? A comparison vs. 2024 would be useful for NIH SBIRs (ala @jeremymberg.bsky.social), which I hope to do soon.

NIH SBIR/STTR grant 3/24/2025 update There have been ONLY 9 new NIH SBIR/STTR awards since 3/1/2025 per NIH RePORTER. That's only 2 more since last week (and 1 more over the week before). WTF? A comparison vs. 2024 would be useful for NIH SBIRs (ala @jeremymberg.bsky.social ).

Now that the first Advisory Council meeting will be announced in the Federal Register tomorrow (National Institute for Complementary and Integrative Health) tomorrow, I want to clarify something that has been happening for at least the past 30 days. 1/n

Program Advisory Committees are also under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) and therefore must have their meetings announced in the Federal Register, but they advise about specific topics and policies, unrelated to specific grants.

NIH Employee Rehires - Hopefully, the NIH will be able to bring back many of their top minds that were needlessly thrown away. But who in their right mind would come back? www.splinter.com/nih-other-ag...
