Citing N.I.H. Cuts, a Top Science Journal Stops Accepting Submissions With federal support, Environmental Health Perspectives has long published peer-reviewed studies without fees to readers or scientists.

yikes

Ironically, "for more than 50 years, the journal has received funding from the National Institutes of Health to review studies on the health effects of environmental toxinsβ€”from 'forever chemicals' to air pollutionβ€”and publish the research free of charge," which are two of RFK's priorities.

Oh, more judgemental on my lifestyle choices. I'll sleep when the semester is over.

Is this something that you like to learn more about?

At the rally, someone said that climate change won't affect WV. It already does, mountains that have been clear-cut exacerbated flooding, polar vortex in Jan caused by shrinking ice caps that allow the jet stream further south. Yeah, we one see the ocean here, but climate change is in the holler.

Guess what! We apparently have to now protest to keep the funding that we earned. Grants are not easy to get. Rounds of expert reviews and up to a year of waiting. Congress approved the budgets and granting agencies determine the best grants, funding training for the next generation of scientists.

Ooh, I haven't thought about it. I can't watch everyone in the lab, so I have to trust them. Sloppy work or worse fraud hurts the field even when it's not caught, and the author's career and my extention everyone associated when it is caught.

@zrlon.bsky.social my students were so impressed with themselves that understood your talk and think your research is so cool. Of course you gave a really good talk. Denitrification wasn't something that I think about. I now want study effects of secrete metabolites on stress response in yeast.
