The appropriation bill was signed on January 23, more than a month ago.

The data are from www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/... but NSF presents these data as individual files for each grant.

I am building spreadsheets for each year and will post them on my dashboard soon.

Perhaps with the subheading:

He can't seem to get it up (although he is not trying)

My sense is that investigators and institutions are generally surviving on continuing funding and reserves for the moment, but they become more vulnerable to serious, perhaps even largely irreversible, damage with each passing day/week/month.

But everything will totally go back to normal because your university cut a deal and made a payoff. Right? Right??

But "woke" universities are damaged, so it's a win...

Petition to refer to this as the Vought Curve.

My quote of the day

The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule.

Hi.

This isn’t our ~official statement~ but it felt irresponsible to carry on with all our planned communications about March 7th without acknowledging that Trump unilaterally started a war with Iran.

War does not determine who is right - only who is left.

Congress better wake up before nobody notices it's gone.

Supplements have the advantage that they are untethered from evidence.

They make vague claims of wondrous effects and then add, in rapidly spoken small type:

"This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease".

Institutes often do their own thing... both a strength and a weakness. They also lost their longtime director and that might be leading to lack of decisiveness.

Let me see what I can find out.
