The CEO of the Autism Science Foundation...wants to give " RFK credit for wanting to study the causes of autism" to "relieve the suffering that our children are experiencing." This is way too generous and people don't suffer from autism. www.disabilityscoop.com/2025/02/18/t...

Don’t mind me just livin’ in limbo here over the announcement of NIH cuts for “indirect costs” 🪦 but I do want to throw into to the echo chamber that “indirect costs” support VITAL administrative personnel that make our research worlds go ‘round #Academicsky #polsky www.npr.org/sections/sho...

maybe my favourite etymology: the phrase “curry favour” originates from a medieval french morality poem about a conniving horse named fauvel who amasses a following of sycophantic humans to groom and tend to him. over time, “currying fauvel” eventually became “currying favour.”
