Lady Mondegreen would approve of this whole thread.

When talking about cancer diagnosis (e.g., pathology on biopsies) positive results are indeed negative, and negative results are positive.
It is indeed very confusing. In fact, my first sentence could be read in two different ways…

For many of them, it's peer pressure... very literally.

I’d recommend not automating the unfollow. Might be best to leave such decisions for the users to make after conscious consideration…

D'fhreastalamar ar an bhFéile Ghaelach i Seattle agus bhí Cavort (www.cavortceltic.com) ag seinm ceol Gaelach (i mBéarla). Bhí sé an-sultmhar!

Doing anything, or doing nothing, there is awareness.
Which is, all in itself, awesome.

Ha! As a gluten-free vegetarian myself… Looks like our diets are similar…

Extremely challenging times indeed.
Particularly for practicing Sammā vācā.

Of course prevention is better when possible. Just keep in mind that many needed cures are for not-quite-preventable things. Including things, like congenital/genetic disease, where 'prevention' may have a rather darker meaning.

It was entirely down for us as of 10:30 AM Pacific (hello from Seattle!), and had noticed partial failures a couple of hours earlier too...

The bottleneck/extinction metaphor is apt, and will be not just about scientific careers...

Same here, looking at a nice (virtual) stack of applications to review... and now can't even access eRA Commons, or pretty much anything under nih.gov...

NIH RePORTER data downloaded today... when? Most nih.gov domains have been inaccessible for many hours now. Can you access the same content now?

Indeed, it's weird that PubMed still works, though it looks broken since cdn.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov is inaccessible, as is pretty much everything else under nih.gov.
Evil times.

Note that nih.gov also fails. I don't think this is targeted at some PubMed/PMC services. It's much wider.

There’s also those who failed to prevent it while they could. But I’m not talking about blame. The question is who can stop this, and their constituency can play a role.

Yes, but it reads very differently if the first part refers to their constituents.
comment in response to

Very much agree, there seems to be a lot of naivete about it. It's not like the saboteurs in power are suddenly going to say "oops!"
The question is whether 'their' and 'them' refer to the same people as 'they'. In other words, who the audience is.
