We really need to start talking about what this shitshow is doing to our mental health.

Let's not forget how badly a much less awful shitshow ended in the UK a few years ago. This one here is bound to ruin so many lives!

Trump administration blocks NIH from awarding any research grants and contracts The order applies to the entirety of new and, possibly, ongoing research grant dollars that go to universities and academic medical centers.

"multiple sources told STAT they worried it would effectively extend until Sep 30, the end of the government’s fiscal year. Should that happen, any unspent funds would return to U.S. Treasury, and scientists and research institutions would not get any expected funds for the remainder of this year"

The mission of the NIMHD is "to lead scientific research in humans to improve minority health and reduce health disparities in the United States and its territories."

Let me put this as delicately as possible:

My bottom line is that we need better tools to highlight results that are suspect to avoid confusion and wasted resources.

But I think the system actually worked pretty well. The paper was published with a big splash, but then many came out and said that is was almost certainly wrong.

I don't have a strong opinion re the As paper specifically, in general I think that, unless there was proven fraud or malice, science that's subsequently corrected through better methods shouldn't be retracted just because at the time of pub it was imperfect.

Berg's call back then deserves respect
