Just got off a webinar with a prominent national law firm on rules change on indirect rate. AAMC and other orgs on panel too. First, need to be convey that the rates are actual costs, not just overhead to pad the university coffers. Example- Institutional Review Board, space/utilities 1/4

Do I have this right? Elon Musk - the guy in charge of preventing wasteful spending - dropped $40M on a Super Bowl ad? We could permanently house 800 homeless veterans for $40M. Or provide five million meals to the hungry. Or replace lead pipes in 8,500 homes.

Watching powerless from Europe how democracy is crumbling in the US, reminds me of those movies where someone is mind-controlled by an alien or ghost. I want to yell: "America, we know you are still in there. If you can hear us, you must fight. YOU CAN DO IT. FIGHT THIS!"

Democrats in Congress: WHAT IS THE PLAN? Going on Sunday shows and spewing consultant speak isn't going to cut it. Twelve inspectors general fired and there's no sit-in? No filibuster? No direction to voters? And in fact, some of you are actually voting for Trump's agenda?

Per an NIH source: “Discussions with colleagues have suggested that if the universities all come together and raise hell about the delays to funding caused by not holding meetings, that might move the needle. From every state. There are well-funded universities in red states that will be impacted.”

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

Terrifying case report on the BC teen w/H5N1 (#BirdFlu). 4 days to go from pink eye+fever to life support in PICU. When it hits the fan, there won't be resources for weekslong ECMO or 3-pronged antivirals for everyone. The best time to take action was 1+ years ago; the next best time is today.
