It's really great.
I use the example of height ALL the time when I teach measurement, but I mostly focus on instruments for measuring. Even in that example, you illustrate so well how the difference choices of measurement can affect the results.

“The people on the ground doing the work of the science are going to be the first to go, and that devastation may happen with just a delay of funding.”
There's a story here re: how university administration jobs being less vulnerable to funding delays than lab jobs encourages institutional inertia.

Yup. I don't think many people realize that USPS provides service to addresses that every single private carrier in the country will refuse to deliver to. They even service addresses that are only accessible by boat! There's still a mule route!

I'm waiting on two NO(G)As for NCRs from NIAAA. They should have arrived around 1/15. Our PO said we should expect to have to wait 3-4 more weeks, but it's impossible to tell if they can really know that. It's terribly stressful.

I am waiting on two NOAs for existing grants from NIAAA. The RPPRs were due 12/15, funding should have started 1/15

Don't remove outliers (absent compelling information) is one strategy

I've heard of several study sections cancelled last minute today, including the one I chair, ARM. Our meeting wasn't published in the register which makes me wonder if that's the excuse for cancelling.

Federal science funding isn’t just about $. It’s about people. The people who steward the funding at all levels - while still in the fed coffers, who manage it at our unis, and ultimately in our labs.
And we’re just that: well regulated stewards of public funds. And we take that job seriously.

It's fucking gross.
