NIH plans to slash support for indirect research costs, sending shockwaves through science The NIH said Friday night that it would slash support for indirect costs on all existing and future grants to 15%

“Understanding the contributions of janitors, dining hall workers, & administrative assistants means understanding that management styles that cut costs by cutting salaries through outsourcing or cutting positions are actually damaging science.”

Seems ironic that today many of us have the day off “work”, yet there is so much real work to be done. Today, on this day “off”, I’m committing to work to make my world more inclusive, to sustain it for the generations to come, and create and appreciate beauty and kindness everyday.

The “crab eyes” reminds me how both fortuitous and precarious life can be. Formed >300 million years ago as core stones (unaltered rock left as chemical weathering progressed inwards as soil formed), recent erosion & gravity stacked these boulders through long-game geologic jenga.

Inspiration from Martha Graham those days when the feedback is less than productive…
