Voting in my lifetime is like being a cowboys fan, I was too young to enjoy the good days.

This week I have had a journal auto-reject my paper for "detection of AI use" when no AI was used and another submission site refusing to acceptt my uploaded files because every file had a "virus detected". Did I get black listed from scientific writing or something?

🚨OUR NEW AD JUST DROPPED 🚨

Washington is giving billionaires the easy ride—while hard-working Tennessean get a rough ride due to bad policies.

I’m running for Congress to change that. Vote for @aftynbehn.bsky.social beginning on Nov. 12 to shake up Washington. Election Dec. 2nd

The other physician in the room seemed disinclined to provide aid.

The term #estimand is now part of the technical language of trials - but it remains a concept that many find hard to understand. Recent work has aimed to make the term more accessible to researchers, patients & public 1/8

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Can you please explain to me what the "mid-south" is then, i.e. Kentucky, Tennesee, +/- Oklahoma.

Shoutout to the good folk at the NIH who worked overtime over the last 2-3 months to catch up on FY2025 appropriations. Heros. I'm sorry many/most of you are now furlowed.

So exhausting..

A cat wearing pit viper goggles with rainbow lenses relaxes on a bare glacier. A mountain is visible behind him.

Since we’re posting more regularly here and it’s a new platform I figured we should introduce ourselves.

This is Gary. He’s an 11-year old domestic longhair cat and together we adventure around western Canada, mostly in the Rocky Mountains.

It is a bit more faff but if you keep your sealant topped up regularly *knocks on wood* it works very well.

That was 18 years ago?! Wow I feel old.

So I guess that’s a no on the Nobel Prize.

ah, well

Just going to take a moment and say Go Dores!! Vanderbilt going to be back in the top 25 in football!

After lagging far behind, NIH now seems on pace to spend its entire $47 billion budget by Sept. 30 A frenzy of grantmaking in August has the NIH seemingly on pace to spend its entire $47 billion budget by the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30

@mmolteni.bsky.social & I took a closer look at where some of the specific institutes and centers stand in spending down their budget, compared to previous years

Well I guess my grant WONT get funded before a pocket recission. Wild.

Is there another NIH funding pause? Nothing reported as funded on Reporter since the 16th.

TARIFFS 101: Trump's tariffs on steel and aluminum don't hit China — they hit us. At A.O. Smith's Ashland City plant, we saw costs spike and prices jump 6-9%, while Tennessee families foot the bill. Workers deserve a trade policy that protects jobs here at home.

Just gonna sit at my desk and refresh eRA commons all day to see if my grant gets awarded by the mystical deadline that may or may not be today.

I was beginning to wonder what would come first, a funding decision on my K23 or a new T swift album. Guess we have that answer.
