C.J. Peters, one of the legendary virus hunters of decades past, has died. In 2018, I traveled to his home in Galveston, Tex., where he told me jaw-dropping story after jaw-dropping story. He had an extraordinary brain and was hugely curious. Such a loss. www.statnews.com/2018/02/20/v...

The last paragraph reads This is a good thing, but please explain to me how this differs from many of the grants and applications that have been "remediated" by NIH_Leadership™ as "DEI". 2/2

Russell Vought, Director of the OMB, has issued a set of proposed changes that would dramatically alter federal grant funding. However, we can each take action to prevent these from taking effect. Here's how, a 🧵 🧪 1/n www.science.org/content/arti...

@elizabethginexi.bsky.social explains how the OMB proposed rule changes will affect States, cities, not just destroy science. "... in FY2024 the federal government sent $1.1 trillion in grants to state and local governments. ". ie. Medicaid, Transportation, Education. Also how to fight back.

Trust in science. Expert opinion, context, and open data all help, and in the era of AI, we should aspire to audit trails that confirm data provenance. Key to trust is accountability of researchers, however, and for that we need identity verification. New blog post. openrxiv.org/trust-signal...

TL;DR: We've identified more than 100 cases of apparent manipulation in Thermo Fisher Scientific's antibody verification data. @sholtodavid.bsky.social @johanduchene.bsky.social reeserichardson.blog/2026/05/28/h...

I heard from several sources yesterday that NIH is planning to release a Request for Information (RFI) that apparently will include this: Scores and percentiles for NIH grant applications will not be shared with applicants although they will be provided to NIH program officers and staff. 1/3

IMPACT OF DECLINE OF FEDERAL FUNDING ON SCIENCE: This note to campus from the president of MIT is telling. Fed funds down 20% after a year, private funds only made up 10% of the losses. Overall 10% less in funding. 🧪🔭⚛️ “in total, outside of Sloan, we could have about 500 fewer graduate students.”

MIT President Sally Kornbluth said that the school’s research enterprise has shrunk 10 percent from a year ago and warned of a persistent drop in graduate admissions as the university grapples with federal funding challenges and policy changes. www.statnews.com/2026/05/14/m...
