This is certainly worth a read.

Department of Energy is indeed sending out notices to universities cancelling all of our grants unless the university agrees to a 15% rate cap.

Exclusive: NIH to terminate hundreds of active research grants Studies that touch on LGBT+ health, gender identity and DEI in the biomedical workforce could be terminated, according to documents obtained by Nature.

NEW: The NIH has begun terminating grants for active projects studying gender identity, DEI, environmental justice, climate change, among other topics.

At least 16 termination letters have already been sent — and hundreds more are coming, people inside NIH tell me.

Trump’s siege of science: how the first 30 days unfolded and what’s next The breakneck pace and devastating impact of the administration’s policy changes has shocked researchers.

This is criminal. They are dismantling U.S. science, making our country and world less safe. 🧪

I can only agree ….

Revenge of the Covid Conspiracy Theorists After years of GOP attacks on US health agencies, Trump appointees are poised to bring Covid-19 conspiracies to their leadership of US agencies. Federal workers are scared of what comes next.

Good reporting from @justinling.ca
Great anonymous quote here:

“They’re just going to completely decimate science & our understanding of the world - our ability to fight pandemics, hurricanes, earthquakes, fires, & all the rest of it....which is dumb as a rock.”

Bat-infecting merbecovirus HKU5-CoV lineage 2 can use human ACE2 as a cell entry receptor Coronaviruses of the merbecovirus family have been thought to enter cells by using the host cell receptor DPP4. This study identifies a merbecovirus from Pipistrellus bats that is capable of entering ...

Important new research identities a natural bat coronavirus HKU5 that uses the ACE-2 receptor to enter cells & can infect human cells this way. VERY similar mechanism to SarsCoV2 (covid-19) and reinforces research showing origins of Covid 19 likely was NATURAL 🧪

Day 2 of #ClimateAdvent

Today we start at the beginning. From a physics pov.

For now we'll ignore humans, we'll even ignore the atmosphere and just have a look at an earth sized sphere that perfectly absorbs all of the energy from the sun and emits it again perfectly. 🧵

Welcome. To #ClimateAdvent.
Over the next 25 days, we'll be on a journey through all of #ClimateScience.
We'll cover the natural variability and why we know it's not that, but us causing this current change. We'll dive into the inequalities surrounding #ClimateChange and what to do about all of it.🧵
