GOP Budget Could Gut Medicaid, Further Straining Indian Health As a $340 billion House budget resolution moves toward a floor vote this evening, Native advocates warn that proposed cuts to Medicaid would buckle the already strapped Indian Health Service .

I have not seen anyone talk about how the Tribal communities will be hurt by cuts to Medicaid. It will hurt EVERYONE other than the RICH

Bill removing civil rights protections for transgender Iowans set for first House hearing House lawmakers will hold a subcommittee hearing on the bill at 11 a.m. Monday, where they will hear testimony from members of the public.

Meanwhile, the Iowa legislator is preparing to pass a law stripping transgender people of their civil rights. One thing should be understood, when one marginalized group loses a right it once had, all others vulnerable. www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/p...

Military Drops Recruiting Efforts at Prestigious Black Engineering Awards Event Until this week, Army Recruiting Command had a public partnership with the Black Engineer of the Year Awards, or BEYA, an annual conference that draws students, academics and professionals in science,...

"This is one of the most talent-dense events we do," one Army recruiter told Military.com. “Our footprint there has always been significant. We need the talent." 24 percent of Army enlistees are Black. To be clear: the DEI purge has nothing to do wjth meritocracy.

Update: They were removed from our reviewer assignments completely. I'm so sorry to all those graduate students. 

Anonymous to protect the identity of the NIH employee I spoke to...I am on study section next month to discuss F awards. We were just instructed to put the F31-Diversity applications on the bottom of our priority list for review because there is a chance we may not be able to review them. My heart is breaking for the grad students and their mentors that put so much work into these just for them to be disqualified and thrown out.

Just in case you thought that removing DEI criteria would mean that everyone is competing equally: NIH is removing grad students from underrepresented backgrounds from the applicant pool altogether. Their applications will not be considered. Other students, not from these backgrounds, will be.

Now is a good time to remember that #networking is the most honorable endeavor in which you can engage, bec networking is based on the spirit of generosity- it’s about how can I help you. In this spirit, plz reach out to your community. Offer to help or listen. I’m here too. #yourunicorncareer

Do you leverage your #physics background to work with chemical engineers on new technology? Are you a physicist who works in a surprising industry or field on quantum science in a novel way or via a novel application? 3/x

I am especially interested in profiling physicists who work in industry and are contributing to exciting advancements in #quantumscience from unique angles. For example, do you work on marketing of quantum computers? Do you do event planning of quantum science events? 2/x
