"Pausing" scientific research is like "pausing" a car in the middle of the highway—it's liable to have catastrophic, long-term effects that restarting it won't fix.

Read the Letter (Gift Article) Researchers at academic institutions nationwide say that U.S. science is being dismantled.

“The quest for truth – the mission of science – requires that scientists freely explore new questions and report their findings honestly, independent of special interests”

Science Under Threat in the United States: The NIH is a sound investment for the US taxpayer Research funded by the National Institutes of Health is essential for improving the health of Americans and developing new drugs and treatments for a wide range of diseases.

Great explanatory piece on why NIH research is an important investment into the health and lives of Americans. Thanks, Nick! elifesciences.org/articles/106...

NIH will eliminate many peer review panels and lay off some scientists overseeing them

What's going to prevent the territorial bias that ran rampant in some of the multi-institute panels? www.science.org/content/arti...

Some good-ish news from NIH

“Federal Register notices for study sections run by CSR (but not those by ICs) will start being permitted again”

As far as I know, the timing for this is not clear, but I will be checking the Federal Register.

Here are some data documenting the funding "pause" pulled from NIH Reporter. Current results (FY25) (Red) are compared with results from FY21 (first year of Biden Administration) and FY24.

Note that data from Reporter lag behind release of NoAs by ~1 week.

I will be tracking this going forward.

If the block on the Federal Register isn’t removed in the next few months, I fear a majority of labs will close within a year. This small procedural wrench has the power to kill US science indefinitely, losing an entire generation of discovery and innovation.

National Science Foundation Fires 168 Workers as Federal Purge Continues Firings at the NSF included permanent employees who had already completed their one-year probationary period, as well as at-will workers.

horrifying. apparently we don't wish to make any scientific advances anymore. www.wired.com/story/nation...

‘Wrecking ball’: RFK Jr. moves to fire thousands of health agency employees Supervisors deliver bad news across NIH, CDC

I have no more words, especially after reading the hate on that other site. 48% of the US does not understand (perhaps does not care to understand) that NIH research underlies nearly every new drug discovered. 💔
