And I’ve been wondering: what ARE the salaries, what do these employment contracts look like, what benefits are included (health insurance? pensions?), and, top of the list, where’s the budget for all this coming from? Have taxpayers been given this information?

Freezing out the NIH's funding means freezing out American innovation. Research into curing cancer, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's all delayed. And ultimately it won't just cost us advancements in life-saving research, it will cost us lives.

Glad to see the grinding halt of NIH grant review and funding decisions covered in the @bostonglobe.com but why are we framing this as “mysterious” or question whether it was intentional??? FFS people. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/22/m...

This is truly amazing. 85% accurate test in 45 minutes. The work was funded by the National Cancer Institute of the National Institutes of Health. Good thinking on the part of Trump/Musk to cut its funding. Make Cancer Great Again.

For those keeping track, we are now at 2 weeks with no new R01s funded. Still only 18 new ("01") grants are fellowships/Ks, a few admin supplements, one R35, and one R03. Same 2-week period in 2024: 143 new grants were awarded and 41 R01s. Devastating.

NSF funded my research on good-enough language processing. NSF funded my research on processing of disfluent speech. NSF hired me for a year to work as Program Director for Linguistics and I learned tons--including that I couldn’t accept even a cup of coffee from a potential PI due to COI rules.

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Great post on NIH and universities’ indirect costs. Among Aslin’s many great points is this gem: private contractors like SpaceX also charge indirect costs to the govt. And it appears (note THEIR rates aren’t public) they get way more than unis do. dickaslin.substack.com?utm_source=n...

Instead of cutting costs for working families, Donald Trump is slashing the federal investments that fund their lifesaving care, fuel their local economy, and lower their health care costs. It’s cruel, short-sighted, and will cost jobs and devastate millions of families.

Hearing nonsense that Ds are threatening a shutdown. False. Entire matter is in GOP hands. What's happening is that Rs are coming hat in hand to Ds for help because they can't agree among themselves. Ds shld have a simple demand. No help until the criminal conduct stops.

Tech oligarchs made their fortunes thanks in large part to government funded research done by scientists based in universities. The tech industry’s complicity in dismantling these govt agencies and higher ed is not only immoral, it’s also shortsighted. Where will new science breakthroughs come from?
