NEW: The Trump administration is exploiting a loophole to keep funding frozen at the NIH - a move that some legal scholars say is illegal. Federal Register notices are blocked, so no grant-review sessions can be scheduled. All the gritty details here, and a short 🧵: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

It’s been buried in all the news today, but every scientist in the US should pay attention to this: Mike Lauer went out on a limb for us all, sending out a memo saying institutes should start awarding grants. And it looks like Trump/Musk fired him for that. 🧪

Senator Ted Cruz recently released a database of more than 3000 NSF grants that he says misappropriated taxpayer money by spending it on "woke DEI" research. So why do grants that seemingly have nothing to do with woke ideology contain words such as "underrepresented"?

#NIH just slashed indirect costs caps on grants to 15%--this is a HUGE blow to the research community. While there is certainly inefficiency to the grants system, indirects help institutions support scientists & academic infrastructure. No one will want to do research anymore. #medsky #academicsky

I will always choose resistance as faculty (and in general). Education drives progress. I will NOT let this insecure felon and his bumbling cronies stand in the way of educating, questioning, resisting, and doing the work to dismantle oppressive practices! #AcademicSky #Resist #DEI #FacultySky

As a tenured prof @ a private institution, I believe I have an obligation to speak out on issues that my colleagues at other institutions or in more tenuous positions cannot. If you have privilege & protections, use that to preserve our rights and freedoms. 1/ #AcademicSky #PolisciSky #CivMilSky
