Just got fired from being a freshman football coach, if you want to know what MAGA does to communities.

They don’t care about what helps people, because the school is certainly not going to find an ex-NFL player willing to coach there at that level, they only care about trying to hurt people.

The NIH shenanigans have real and massive potential consequences for the Indiana economy

Here I and a couple of colleagues highlight this fact

Indirect costs for university-performed research and development were born out of world war II, when the federal government recognized the value of research investment

Indirect costs have always been part of this investment

And pay off- Every $1 in NIH investment yields $2.46 in long term gains

I’d like to amend my question with, β€˜do you think this reduction of F&A will stick?’

I need you to know that I left twitter probably 10 years ago and you were the biggest loss of my life. Glad you’re on Bluesky.

My salary is paid from the overhead collected from grants. We are all trying not to panic, but you know…general anxiety disorder

National Science Foundation freezes grant review in response to Trump executive orders The National Science Foundation has canceled all grant review panels this week. It's unclear how long the pause could last.

I hate it here

More from inside NIH:

Per a source with knowledge, for all internal research (of which there is like $10 billion worth or so), ALL purchasing shut down as of yesterday.

That means gloves, reagents, anything involved with lab work, which means a lot of that work will stop.

I think they couldn’t; it’s mostly to make a point or to move the Overton window.

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.

I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or β€œpause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

This Cybertruck did not crash. It made a heartfelt and perhaps ill-advised gesture that, in the moment, might have been misinterpreted as a crash, but we should not rush to judgement.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Today in Milan, a student activist group hung a trash-filled effigy of Musk upside down on a gate outside of piazzale Loreto, where Mussolini's body was displayed in 1945.
They left the message: "C'Γ¨ sempre posto a piazzale Loreto, Elon" (There's always room in piazzale Loreto, Elon)
