I'm ready to lose my mind every time I have to research which insurance plan I have to opt into, I do not want to have to do a PhD thesis worth of work every time I have to make a grocery list.

I was talking with friends this weekend about going to see Sinners and the one person in the group who had already seen it said we needed to keep him in the loop so he could go again.

My parents died from incurable degenerative neurological disorders. Dad from Parkinson's and mom from ALS. One thing that kept me going after they died was the hope that there would one day be better, more affordable treatments. I've run races to raise money for that. This news is hard to see.

People say academia doesn't need print books or journals any more - but the printed material may be all that survives the next 50 years, let alone the next 500.

Jamie Raskin asks citizens to mail in a request for Freedom of Information Act regarding DOGE accessing your social security information. Just print the form, mail it to DOGE, and then get on a list for Raskin to alert you to updates about the request. jamieraskin.com/doge-privacy...

The thing about scientific research is that it’s one of the few national investments that’s a clear public good even if you entirely discount the actual ostensible point of it.

There's literaly an mRNA vaccine to treat pancreatic cancer in the works. It's shown promising results in a Phase 1 trial. Most people with pancreatic cancer are dead within 5 years. It's what killed Patrick Swayze.

Point out things are illegal not from a belief that the courts will save us (they almost certainly won’t) but because it’s important to not shift toward an authoritarian mindset by allowing them to normalize illegal shit

A core problem here is that like many things, the public discourse is totally playing on the right's terms. It's not "DEI" to research gender/racial inequality. DEI is a propaganda phrase to denote unnecessary excess in the mind of the public, like HR trainings. That's not what they're eliminating.

True story: when my older boys were little, they both got whooping cough even though they were vaccinated. It was bad. We asked the pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. They would’ve died, he said. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

We @chronicle.com reported on Friday that applications for F31 diversity fellowships had been withdrawn. Now, multiple scholars tell me their applications have been re-assigned to their original study sections, in a reversal of instructions NIH officials gave reviewers last week. #AcademicSky

Context: The COVID pandemic has affected clinical trial accrual rates (participant recruitment), slowing project completion times, & no-cost extensions (NCE) are important for ensuring completion. NCEs do not entail additional funds, just the ability to use remaining funds awarded through the grant

The data at USAID's ForeignAssistance dot gov was removed over the weekend, but it seems to be back (for now). As a backup, I've uploaded the data both as static CSV files and a queryable API - Details: andrewheiss.github.io/foreignassis... - API: foreignassistance-data.andrewheiss.com

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research. Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

Watching Muppet Christmas Carol, as one does, and struck with a warm feeling about humanity. Not because of Christmas, but because a person wrote this story, and a hundred years later other people painstakingly created a version of it with puppets and miniatures and film

This reminds me of the time when I was in high school and my dad saw our neighbor laying down in his front lawn and started heckling him about napping on the job. Turned out he had fallen off his ladder and had busted his back.
