The researchers were surprised because new tech is usually adopted first by more educated, higher income earners. But genAI isn't like other tech. It's a slop machine. People who can already write well and are experts in their field don't need slop. It's the least surprising result in the world.

For 23 years, NIH grants could be tagged as autism research, helping track and coordinate funding. That mechanism has now quietly expired—no notice, no announcement. A junior faculty member discovered it when submitting her first autism grant. Whether oversight or intent, it’s gone.

Section 504 prohibits discrimination against disabled people & guarantees equal access to anything (services, programs, buildings, etc.) that receives federal funding. It paved the way for the ADA. The sit-in that got it passed is an extraordinary moment in US history. I am incandescent with rage.

I blame dystopian fiction for the expectations I am seeing. Ironically, those books largely come after 50 years (or more) for a reason. You think the revolution is immediate because that's when you're brought into the story. But if the fall took decades, the revolution also took decades.

We are getting reports that disabled employees of the federal government who have already established reasonable accommodations on the basis of disability will have to reapply for those accommodations, and that the agency head will make the final determination

“accessibility”, “disability”, “disabled”… All words that when present in a scientific project mean it will be automatically rejected for funding by the US government. It’s a very scary time for people with Disabilities right now, especially marginalised illnesses like ME and LC. Sending hugs.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

DYK? Since July 2022, the lag between COVID-19 symptom onset and a positive PCR test is 4.5-6.5 days. You might test positive earlier than 5 days after symptom onset, but it can be up to one week. That's PCR--with RATs you're even less likely to test positive within the first 5 days of symptoms.

An employee working for an agency funded by federal grants working in HIV care just told me that their manager said the CDC website is expected to come down "in its entirey" and "to save what they might need." Targethiv.org, run by the Health Resources and Services Administration, is already down.

Too many people have not studied boycotts while throwing that word around as if there aren't many different kinds, purposes and desired outcomes of boycotts. "Organic" individual-purchasing power boycotts are not a tool of organizing power but instead exist to satisfy emotional reactions.

One of my friends has a grant from the #FDA to look at disparities in clinical trial research and just submitted a manuscript with the findings. She was told today by the collaborators from the #FDA to rescind it. #Censorhip has started, we are living in authoritarian government.

Something that is really going to be more necessary than ever is embracing uncertainty and it's actually the most difficult thing for human beings to do. It really is. But everyone needs to practice. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN. That means there's a possibility your actions can make a difference

One of the hardest parts about being disabled, in my opinion, is being someone who wants to do everything but being stuck in a body that struggles doing anything.
