Trump NIH funding cuts, policies threaten Pitt research A Trump administration decision to cap indirect cost rates in science and health grants, plus federal staff cuts, has Pitt researchers wondering if they can continue.

The Trump administration is slashing "indirect costs" in health and science. But what does that mean? Indirect costs cover space, equipment, legal support and oversight. “Without support of [indirect costs], research labs would literally go dark."

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

Truly, primary every single Democrat who supports the MAGA agenda. Incomprehensible. Also ask them why they hate dogs.

Temu Steals Artists Work - Pittsburgh Sticker

Temu Steals Artists Work - Pittsburgh Pierogi Sticker

Did you know…?

Temu steals from artists & small biz. And bc they are in China, they don’t have to do shit about it. This is all they are: stolen intellectual property.

Two of my stickers on Temu.

As Pennsylvania legislators reintroduce medical debt relief legislation, Pittsburgh's program stalls The state is considering a proposal to create a medical debt relief program that could erase hundreds of millions of dollars in unpaid medical bills. But if a similar program in the City of Pittsburgh...

Pittsburgh started a $1M medical debt relief program in 2023 to help residents burdened with unpaid medical bills.

2 years later, the program has yet to clear a dollar.

The region’s largest health systems — UPMC and AHN — have declined to participate in the program.

I am once again reminding everyone that Clive Owen’s character in CHILDREN OF MEN is in his mid-forties in the late 2020s, which means it’s canonically a movie about a Millennial

I saw Brett Kavanaugh at the US Capitol last week and went to Macy’s and passed by a Johnny Depp cologne ad. So much for the idea that accusations alone can ruin a man’s life forever.

Appreciate you being my first 🥹

I don’t want my first post to be a repost, so. Here I am, breaking the Bluesky seal ?
