What a bright spot in a bleak week.

Thoughts form @oliverbogler.bsky.social on the new postdoc K32 NOFO. bogler.cc/post/K32

RFK Jr., who CANCELLED THE SIDS PREVENTION PROGRAM, is using his govt account to intimidate a journal about retracting a methodologically flawed paper saying vaccines cause SIDS. THIS👏🏼MAN 👏🏼DOES 👏🏼NOT 👏🏼CARE 👏🏼ABOUT 👏🏼YOU www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

“A deliberate crippling” is a very accurate description of what Russell Vought and Jay Bhattacharya are doing to NIH. cssh.northeastern.edu/a-deliberate...

Science peeps, particularly trainees: When reviewing grants, it really, really helps if you have a Google Scholar page, an ORCID account, or a website that makes getting information about you, easy. Some sort of web presence. I'm begging you. Make it easier for study sections to give you money.

On June 9th Bethesda Declaration organizers released the Bethesda Declaration: One Year Later. 27 UNIHTED is releasing the concerns outlined in this document in a series on Substack. Here is a link the introduction and the first concern substack.com/@27unihted/n...

Excited to share that I received the NOA for my HEAL K99/R00 award! I am so grateful to my amazing mentors who helped me at all stages of my training and supported me to get this far! @sarahross1.bsky.social @rpseal.bsky.social @khannalabuf.bsky.social @frankporreca.bsky.social

Happy K submission day! Looking forward to reading yours! 😻😻

Every American should know what the #BethesdaDeclaration is. www.standupforscience.net/bethesda-dec... It is a letter of dissent to NIH & HHS leadership calling out the politicization of science & crippling our infrastructure. It marks the beginning of the resistance. Dir Jay Bhattacharya lied.

Spot on! No NOFO is perfect but the K23 is one useful mechanism!

New NIH Request for Information regarding capping the number of Research Project Grants allowed per investigator. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide... Open for comments until August 3rd, 2026

In a world full of change and choas, at least the sfn abstract submission deadline extension is constant.

NINDS has discontinued our F32 mechanism. All previously submitted applications will proceed as normal. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

Not every program needs an acronym Im not sorry to say it.

Pop in and say hi, and maybe learn something! What kind of coffee should I get myself for this? 🤔 ☕️

Just a reminder that Russell Vought needs to be impeached. impeachvought.com

Welcome to the Fascist States of America, where the EiC of a leading journal is forcibly removed by police for passing out his own editorial at the annual meeting of the field’s association…because it’s “too political” (read: it calls on scientists to speak out & stand up). We are here. This is it.

This is the editorial that the physicians were sharing at the American Diabetes Association conference To appease the MAGA/MAHA Administration, the ADA called the cops to get the physicians removed These physicians are heroic If you can’t speak out & condemn authoritarianism NOW, then when?

A Friday treat! A new NOFO!

Yea it looks bad when they put it on paper but its been happening this whole time already and its actually worse.

The FY2027 appropriations fight is entering the House markup right now. If you're a federally funded PI and you haven't contacted your rep's office this cycle, here's a 6-step thread that takes less than 80 minutes to start. 🧵

I helped inform this story. The Trump administration aims to pull science funding under tighter political control: NPR share.google/d4UXI4VioNUL...

Wondering why the NIH has such a slow pace of grantmaking this year? Here’s my breakdown. elizabethginexi.substack.com/p/the-execut...

Several people have asked for possible content and structure for comments regarding the proposed OMB regulations. With some suggestions from others, I have posted on example (as a Word document) for downloading). jeremymberg.github.io/jeremyberg.g... I hope this is helpful.

This is a must read thread for NIH staff and scientists applying for NIH grants. This is some next level BS. Be on alert for this RFI, because we need to push back against this big time.

I swear I know as much as you. Probably less.

Had four lovely days off and made the mistake of checking my email before the morning. Its going to be a fun week

Late in the afternoon on Friday (yesterday), HHS/NIH did 2 things: 1) They RIFd more employees (despite the extreme staffing shortages). 2) They sent announcements to supervisors letting them know people in their chain of command will be moved to the career/policy “at will” status. 🧵1/3

This week was rough.

Want to help? Great job security these days… oh and you can telework 3d/wk until October 😬 www.usajobs.gov/job/867528600

Whats below “below rock bottom” just wanna be prepared.
