Oh, the joy of Jason Isbell's new album arriving on my doorstep in all its vinyl glory two days before the official drop... Been lucky enough to hear several of the songs live and so far, Gravelweed is my favorite track.

Higher ed is bracing for the impact of the NIH funding cuts, but much remains unknown. @tvparrot.bsky.social and @erinahennessy.bsky.social discuss how we got here, the effect of the cuts, how to talk about them with key audiences, and they answer questions about future domino effects.

Remember early in the pandemic when people opened their windows at a certain time every day to cheer and applaud for frontline medical staff? Hear me out -- what if we brought that back, but it was just primal screams and profanity? Who's in?

Massachusetts is home to universities and research institutions that lead our country in saving lives and creating jobs. Trump's NIH cuts put them at risk. We won't allow this Administration to play politics with our public health or undermine our economy. We're suing.
