i know there are other more pertinent problems my mind should be working on.. but i can't stop thinking about this are onomatopoeic words more resistant to adaptation than proper nouns.. that seems upside down?

this, this is what i wake up angry about. it's not senior researchers or nameless "government bureaucrats" that are being harmed, it's a whole generation of talented young scientists, poised to do work they believe in that will impact us all. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

This 🧵 explains beautifully why my heart breaks when I try to answer questions from my undergrad students about the future of biomedical research. I try not to cause panic but I also want to be realistic. The future that they have been dreaming about is rapidly changing before our eyes. 💔

So much this. Universities have processes and procedures to follow before making or changing anything or making any budgets. Administrators can’t just do things, or so I have frequently been assured.

The moral and ethical path is for universities to backstop these fellowships indefinitely. No one should suffer as political pawns, but it’s particularly tough to see it happening for talented people at a very difficult and precarious career stage.

Dear fellow scientists, Go talk to the press about what is going on. Talk to local news about how it will impact jobs. Be specific, but don't pity yourself. Instead focus on how your own situation affects local jobs, the national economy, beating the growing scientific race with China. Suggestions:

the threat of continued funding and review "pauses" at the NIH and NSF right now is not just harmful to the work of senior scientists.. there's a direct impact on trainees up and down the pipeline.

There once was a time that you didn’t yet realize you had hands. It’s a funny thought, but 100% true. In fact it’s not until somewhere between 2-4 months of age that babies fully “discover” their hands. (Thread 🧵)
