OK, some asks. Reach out via Signal or email, depending on comfort/what’s appropriate — both are in my bio. DOJ sources: If you can let me know of DRP2 fallout in your area, let me know. Also: If you have been affected by arts or science funding cuts and are willing to talk, please reach out.

As I type this, I have National Bureau of Labor Statistics data on my screen to justify labor demand for a new graduate program. They have lost at least 20% of their workforce.

'The poll found that on a weekly basis more than 90% of ppl use weather forecasts, job market reports, food safety warnings & other information based on federal science. But only 10% of respondents are concerned that cuts to federal support for science might impact their access to such information'

I renewed my passport online with standard processing. It shipped in exactly 7 days. At least one thing is functioning in the federal gov and don't pay for expedited processing.

I really don't have any words about this story. It's just so deeply upsetting. Fuck the women who decided to police the bathroom and fuck the guard for doing this.

Testing out DeepSeek-R1's ability to do "science" in one-shot. I asked it to critique my 2017 R01 proposal (Impact 26, 10%, funded by NINDS. I wrote the proposal, have rights to share it. It's first-shot response is indistinguishable from a median quality reviewer's. What do we do now?

I think DeepSeek needs to participate in the early career reviewer program at the NIH.

Really hard to say what the worst part of this NEA grant termination letter is (sent at 10pm on a Friday!) but I think it's finding out the federal government's priority for arts funds is now "fostering AI competency" rather than funding literature.

Budget released today: 40% cut to NIH 50% cut to NSF If enacted, this will destroy academic research in the United States. It will also have a major trickle down effect on the entire academic ecosystem

My trainee's F31 diversity from NIDDK "terminated" today. We received a NGA for $0.00. He worked his butt off for it and would have been competitive in the normal F31 pool. This is just blatant discrimination. If there are large lawsuits being put together, please share that info. #contractlaw

Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise." Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically why vaccine trials don't use placebo arms. Ethical violation as POLICY.

The first crime is that all of this wildly illegal & unconstitutional & requires immediate impeachment & removal. The second crime is that we, the richest country in world history, only spend $9 billion in a $1.7 <trillion> budget on the NSF. But that’s a discussion for once we stop the fascism.

Science is squeezed from both ends. Grant funding is being withheld, and at the same time our operating expenses are increasing dramatically because of tariffs.
