My first flash drive held 8MB and it was the most amazing thing I'd ever seen. And it was EXPENSIVE
Back when scientists advised the highest office in the land, setting the path forward for the United States to become a superpower.
For reference, the DoD cut $15M in pancreatic cancer research funding last year.
This is amazing. What a bunch of assholes
What do you mean I have to publish another paper after I am done with this one. That doesn't sound right. That sounds like a pyramid scheme
my modest proposal for energizing the Democratic base is to get James Carville and Chuck Schumer together and have them beat each other to death with sporks on camera.
I'm in

Were they "I Resign"?
Stonks up why
No. But MPI does
For me, personally, it depends. If science is still deciding who and what gets funded, only with decreasing (virtual) paylines, yeah, I'll still review.
If political hacks are making the funding decisions, then no, I won't review.
Which will t be? IDK. We have to wait and see for a couple cycles.
Richard Simmons yelled at me and told me to shut up
Not just for NIH. That's the mantra for life itself :)
I'm currently sitting on 2 single-digit percentiles up for council next month. Will they be funded? I don't know, and my PO doesn't know either.
I did my job. There is nothing I could have done better. Now it's out of my hands
The only thing we can control is submitting the best proposals we can and max out the 6 sub per year limit, and go in as Co-Investigator on as many other proposals as possible. Maximize the chances by maximizing submissions. Everything else is up to the fates and not worth spending mental energy on
So. The same advice as it's always been...
I bet there's a bong room
The Wolbachia Avengers are still here. No blip in Happy Valley. Let’s goooooo. @vectorgen.bsky.social
Is Kristi Noem's Mara-Lago face reversible or is that shit permanent?
Corey Lewandowski to begin affair with Markwayne Mullin
This is one thing I do not understand. MAHA/MAGA thinks if they live healthy they won't get sick.
Have you seen these utter pork chops at any trump rally? I'm amazed they don't collapse from heart failure right then and there
Merchant Marine, then airplane mechanic
Just me, filing a patent, as one does.
I am going to get this fucking paper submitted by end of week.
Hold me to this.
When all this nonsense started a year or so ago I had many colleagues who said they weren't going to waste their time writing grants.
I doubled and tripled up.
One of these strategies is a guaranteed loser. The other is just a crapshoot, same as it ever was.
Honestly, while everyone's fixated on Texas, the most promising news for Democratic chances in the Senate is what happened in North Carolina, where Democrat Roy Cooper got 758,808 votes compared to the 625,667 votes for all Republican candidates combined.
total bloodbath.
every dem who is trying to be or appear more moderate bc they think it will help them win should take notes. the right is irrelevant do not appeal to them.
