This was a fun exercise as an antidote to misinformation about the role of federally funded research in the economy, regardless of human capital and the creation of knowledge youtu.be/sQwvuoTLrIg

Can't we just give the economy an NSAID? I've heard they reduce inflation.

Is saving 0.15% of your budget the excuse for having no study sections or council meetings the last 6 weeks?

Congrats Yu Wang and Patapoutian @ardemp.bskyverified.social lab's team on the involvement for PIEZO2 in adipose tissue phenotype. Pleased that Lipomi/Patapoutian lab postdoc Utku Sonmez were able to help out. @stanfordpress.bsky.social @hhmi.org @scripps.edu www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The bad news: I think I need bifocals. The good news: I no longer see smudges and dust on my glasses.

I spent an evening earlier this semester helping students write personal statements for many NSF REU programs. I wrote many letters of recommendation. This is really sad and I’m not sure what to tell students.

"List Strengths and Weaknesses separately against the NSF Review Criteria" The reviewer finds this proposal to be staunchly anti-Marxist. The Broader Impacts are in line with guidance that farmers til their own land and cede the means of production to the factory owners.

"When he realized that Senate Republicans were characterizing his [NSF] project as one of many they considered ideological and of questionable scientific value, Darren Lipomi, chair of chemical engineering at the University of Rochester, was incensed." undark.org/2025/02/21/a...

The "savings" are trivial, and the cost to the nation in terms of stewardship of science will be profound

(1/6)My NSF-funded project intended to help throat cancer patients recover from radiation therapy faster was identified among 3,500 other NSF grants as "woke DEI" research and "advancing Neo-Marxist ideology" and pursuing a "far-left" agenda. www.commerce.senate.gov/2025/2/cruz-...

I have yet to see an article in a mainstream outlet on the 15% rule that hasn't conflated the 30% overall IDC expenses with the 60%+ rates as a fraction of allowable DCs on top of the research dollars. Most literally think that only 30c on the $ is going to research at Harvard

This framing is their framing, and NYT took the bait. The correct and accurate framing is: “Deep cuts to medical research threatens progress on cancer and heart disease research, costs the economy $80B, and threatens 300,000 jobs across red and blue states”

So if you're saving $5B/year you can give out 3 thousand additional R01s. It's just arithmetic.

His fanboys can eat their heart out. This was back in the day when stewarding federal funds, doing science in the public good, and training the US workforce would get you an autograph.

I hope NSF gives us a chance to Ctrl+F for problematic words in our submitted proposals before rejecting them outright.

Any PI in a low-cost housing market ever thought of buying a "Lab House" for guaranteed rental income? I guess it would be too oppressive/COIy to have your PI also be your landlord.
