MYF was only in effect for the last part of FY25. It will be for all of FY26 and without a boost for ESIs that number is going to plummet.'

This is a terrible take. ESIs are literally the future of science and we lose them from the pipeline at our peril. And pretty sure paylines were not below 5% back in your young investigator days πŸ™„

Leader of Columbia Brain Institute Quits Over Friendship With Epstein

"The two make jokes about Mr. Epstein’s status as a sex offender, with Mr. Epstein saying that some women tell him that they find his criminal designation β€œexciting” and Richard replying with an off-color story about a 20-year-old prostitute with a much older man." www.nytimes.com/2026/02/25/n...

They are not going to pull the paper. They did the same saber rattling over preprinting. They are trying to scare you into padding their pockets - don't.

That anyone hired Lieb after he was sleeping with his grad student at UNC is gross. That UofC did after his shockingly short time at Princeton is damning.

β€ͺDoctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.
