Now is a good time to revisit construction of a #Corsi-RosenthalBox air filter.

"The Corsi-Rosenthal Box is an affordable DIY air-cleaning system made with simple materials found in hardware stores. The box fan pulls air through the filters on the sides and blows out clean air."

More of this please

These grants R16s are trickling out now. Absolute rubbish for small diverse institutions

Ad council meeting that was cancelled met eventually in April. No payline but a good enough score hopefully

I have been waiting 10 weeks for my NOA after getting confirmation that it was council approved. Sent in 2 JITs and have confirmed everything at least once......I am still waiting but hope this week 🙏🏼

These vendors are better able to band together to resist extreme threats than universities are.

I'm so tired of hearing that we need to "teach our students how to use AI" when the thing they most need to use it is a critical-thinking skill set that can only be acquired by NOT using it. I'm tired of hearing that it's inevitable. I'm tired.

GOLDMAN: Friday’s jobs number “brings payroll growth closer in line with big data indicators of job gains and the broader growth dataset, both of which have slowed significantly in recent months. ..

“.. the economic data confirm our view that the US economy is growing at a below-potential pace.”

Donald J. Trump Truth Social Post on 08.01.25 02:09 PM EST: I was just informed that our Country’s “Jobs Numbers” are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamala’s chances of Victory. This is the same Bureau of Labor Statistics that overstated the Jobs Growth in March 2024 by approximately 818,000 and, then again, right before the 2024 Presidential Election, in August and September, by 112,000. These were Records — No one can be that wrong? We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY. She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified. Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can’t be manipulated for political purposes. McEntarfer said there were only 73,000 Jobs added (a shock!) but, more importantly, that a major mistake was made by them, 258,000 Jobs downward, in the prior two months. Similar things happened in the first part of the year, always to the negative. The Economy is BOOMING under “TRUMP” despite a Fed that also plays games, this time with Interest Rates, where they lowered them twice, and substantially, just before the Presidential Election, I assume in the hopes of getting “Kamala” elected – How did that work out? Jerome “Too Late” Powell should also be put “out to pasture.” Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Instead of helping people get good jobs, Donald Trump just fired the statistician who reported bad jobs data that the wanna-be king doesn't like.

Excited to share that we've received an NIH R35 MIRA! This grant will support our work building tools to study how cell states change over space and time in disease. Grateful to our community, and especially the wonderful team I get to work with.

Did a double-take reading these same numbers a few minutes ago. This should be a much bigger story. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

"Trump’s interference in the sciences is something new. It shares features with the science-damaging policies of Stalin and Hitler, says David Wootton, a historian of science. But in the English-speaking world, it has no precedent, he told me: “This is an unparalleled destruction from within.”

Federal agencies hiding out in a bunker

OMB and project 2025 architect Russell Vought paused all NIH awards again last night

Oof. Russell Vought paused ALL NIH grants yesterday. Those of us who care about NIH research were left scrambling. 4h later the pause was lifted. Someone must have realized Vought overplayed his hand. But this shows his goals - to destroy the US government & to stop science completely #project2025

Trump administration halts, then releases, NIH research funding The decision temporarily froze $15 billion in federal funding, according to one senator. It came as Trump officials wrestle over federal spending levels.

The whiplash continues: the WaPo now reports that OMB halted, and then hours later unhalted, these NIH funds.

I'll be watching for any sign of NIH fund restriction this week and will post as soon as I hear more.

Know what's going on? DM me on Signal (mkozlov.01). You can stay anonymous.

Vought is a liar.
#NIH has a stellar international reputation because we create world-leading, gold-standard innovation.

You know who has a terrible reputation? Russ Vought and the Trump admin.
South Park just did an episode on how much Vought’s ideas are horrible and the public hates them. 1/

On Thursday, the Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to grant them a stay on the Massachusetts vs Kennedy/ APHA vs NIH ruling. This decision will occur on the shadow docket, with no formal hearing.

This is truly insane. We are witnessing one of the most corrupt cover-up schemes in history—and it's all playing out in plain view.

While the Department of Justice is meeting in secret with Ghislaine Maxwell to coach her on testimony, it is hiding from us three discs containing court-authorized recordings of her phone calls. [Source: ABC News] That is the REAL evidence. And this is a cover-up.

But I must break that rule in this case because I hate Hulk Hogan very much. He is a big ugly goon and I want to squash his face."

I'm not loving a country that pays its adults half as much to teach children to spell as it does to kidnap them.
