Many of the NCBI resources and eRA Commons were run by contractors. However, many of these folks were apparently converted to Fed positions at the end of last year to protect them.
This means that many of them were probationary NIH employees...
Trying to run this down...

On his album “Da Questa Parte Del Mare” Gianmaria Testa stated:
“Being rooted means not separating yourself from others. If you know where you come from, you can open yourself up to others. That's exactly the opposite of what political parties like [insert local choice] tell us.”

It’s different for Bezos and Zuckerberg. Both have companies that billions use, both have supported science in sometimes amazing and possibly altruistic ways. It’s harder to disengage. EU laws may help a bit, but are there any alternatives to the Australian model to ban social media for minors?

I would distinguish between X and Meta. Twitter was always a niche medium and has been even more so since turning X. Bluesky shows that we are not dependent on the ego that Jimmy Kimmel called ‘the Kramer to Trump’s Seinfeld’. 1/

Welcome. I can promise you it won’t look much different when you come visit in January. Although we do have one day of sun and one day of snow per winter, so who knows?
