OPINION: Killing collective bargaining in higher ed will hurt students and shatter morale - The Nevada Independent OPINION: Killing collective bargaining in higher ed will hurt students and shatter morale. Read more from The Nevada Independent.

My wonderful colleague wrote a piece about Nevada’s attempt to end collective bargaining in higher ed and the impact it will have on our students- thenevadaindependent.com/article/opin...

There’s such a constant stream of bad that it almost gets normalized, but there are still things that stop you dead in your tracks.

Cuts, delays, and retracted NSF and NIH funding.

Information in this article about research funding at NSU not being impacted is incorrect. NSU was absolutely impacted.

Back in a wet lab today. Being able to fit some benchwork into human behavioral studies is a dream. Grateful 🥹

Trump Has Cut Science Funding to Its Lowest Level in Decades (Gift Article) The lag in funding extends far beyond D.E.I. initiatives, affecting almost every area of science: chemistry, computing, engineering, materials and more.

Outstanding presentation of the devastating cuts at NSF and their impact across multiple areas of scientific research and training. Angry at the impact now and in the long-term to US research. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I think in part the higher education funding crisis and the LLM-teaching crisis actually strike at the same problem, which is that education doesn't work without a broad, society-wide sense that the *actual content* of education - not the credential - is valuable.

Beautiful work! Adding to the summer lab meeting schedule.

"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants.

Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."

How cuts at the National Institutes of Health could impact Americans' health Cuts and layoffs to the National Institutes of Health threaten medical research around the U.S., agency insiders warn.

The National Institutes of Health, the largest funder of biomedical research in the world, has fired 1,300 employees and cancelled more than $2 billion in federal research grants. https://cbsn.ws/4daiCrv

Yes!! I am so excited for you, Mari! Congratulations 🎉

oh you mean like every other time they've tried this? everywhere else in the world?

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

AI was going to transform the world economy. Yesterday it did—not by doing anything useful, but when imbeciles used to it set tariff raters.

AI was going to transforming education. Today it has— not by creating better learning platforms but instead by undermining ones have worked for centuries.

Current me every day

UPDATE: we won big!!

Over the past year and a half, I have been working with an incredible group of people to unionize the faculty at Nevada State. Today is the day we will win the vote! 🗳️🗳️🗳️

Umm what now

Got a notice of award today that will fun a major project in my lab!! Every possible body part is crossed that this funding will arrive, and is not delayed or pulled entirely 🤞🤞🤞

Perhaps it was the wrong time to jump into a novel that takes place in Nazi-occupied France

The Seattle Times "There's nothing you need to do - we've deducted the funds from LEONARD A. JOHNSON's account." Uh oh. It itemized how $5,201 had been stricken from their bank account, on the grounds that Ned wasn't justified to get those benefits - because he was dead. That was for payments he'd received in December and January. Ned found that his February Social Security check hadn't been paid, and he's yet to receive his March check, either. His Medicare insurance had been canceled. He also learned that when you die, your credit score gets marked as "deceased, do not issue credit," which makes it tough to get a loan.

DOGE/SSA marked this person dead and *removed his savings from his bank account,* cancelled his social security and Medicare. #seattle https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/heres-a-dead-person-on-social-security-in-seattle-with-plenty-to-say/

I mentor an undergraduate research program that may not continue this year due to funding uncertainty of federal programs.

I am saddened that my students will not have the same opportunities that I had when I was in school due to the political farce currently going on.

This morning my husband referred to ‘Bigfoot’ as ‘Longfoot’ and I think we should call it that from now on.

Lynch’s writing is unconventional and relentless; you feel as if your hurtling towards an inescapable and terrible end. I’m realizing that I have had that same feeling on and off this week and it’s both surreal and devastating.
