I've had what I think is flu this week. It came with a heaping side of inner ear symptoms, so I've been a little dizzy and now I can hear my ears trying to pop when I lie down and breathe - so that's weird. 🥴 Spouse is in the throes of it now, and his version is worse. I had a flu shot & he didn't.

Ky. shows why putting all disaster relief onto states is a bad idea: We’re getting “once a century” disasters every few years, they’re expensive as hell, & the GOP state legislature won’t proactively change the industry-friendly laws that often worsen disasters. kentuckylantern.com/2025/02/19/w...

For those who aren't accustomed to the normal style of these NIH notices, here's claude.ai's analysis: There are several unusual aspects to the language and style of this notice: 1. The tone is notably argumentative and reads more like a policy argument or position paper than a typical NIH notice.

I think it's important to say that these are not "budget cuts" at NIH and NSF. If they want to cut the next budget, they should talk to Congress. This is withholding money that's already authorized.

Small colleges and unis have lower overhead - because they do less research. We need less support for compliance and reporting, facilities and infrastructure. And yet, the lowest I've ever heard was 25%.

I have been thinking a lot about one scene from a late episode of _The Americans_ with the character of Oleg Burov and Spoiler space ...his wife. I can't find the exact quote, but the gist of it is, she pleads with him not to go back into danger because they have a nice little life (1)
