New Trump EO increases fee from $1,000 to $100,000 per year for H1B visas?? Aimed at tech companies hiring cheaper trained people. However, this is going to be extremely disruptive to residency training programs and hospitals. Hope someone clues him in.

Well I guess this will be my 1st Bluesky post as @fperrywilson.bsky.social perfectly sums up the issue relating to NIH spending. I have dedicated my career to science & I’m just seeing it all slip away. Investing in NIH is crucial for our public health, society, the economy, & future generations.

NIH has announced a cut in the "indirect rate" to 15% across the board, in a move that appears to be retroactive to even existing grants. This is a bloodbath for research institutions throughout the country. Brief explainer for those not in this world: https://buff.ly/3EtML7D
