CBS to cancel "Late Show With Stephen Colbert" after the next TV season, citing a “financial decision"

Study finds in states w/ near-total abortion bans since 2022, intimate partner violence rose 7% - 10% (9,271 - 13,998 additional incidents). Women also “found it harder to exit abusive relationships once they were forced to carry that pregnancy to term." news.northeastern.edu/2025/06/30/a...

"Though Wu was never charged, Northwestern reassigned her grant funding, closed her lab and forcibly admitted her to the university’s psychiatric hospital..." American academia is actively hostile to the health, well being and survival of women of color.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

As others have pointed out, this also underlies recent changes in NIH policy: grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

There are 100% more imp. things to talk about in the world today. But--a personal/academic win for me: After 3+ years thinking and working on this article (which started with an idea on a plane), it is finally published. I am proud. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Breaking news: A new lawsuit seeks to challenge the National Institutes of Health’s decisions to abruptly terminate hundreds of grants, totaling more than $2.4 billion, over the past month. scim.ag/3DZnylL

In the past two weeks, the institution I’m at prevented me access to grant funds to pay a student helping me on my project and now are “terminating” a volunteer on a visa/residing in another country. Is this what is to come?

I know too many people in one day who have lost PhD program offers, job offers, been notified their postdoc fellowships are ending, and of course, all those whose grants are cancelled. Of course it doesn’t measure to being (unfairly) deported but ‘I am weary of the ways of the world.’

I'm old enough to remember when apa was apologizing for it's racism bc that was just 4 years ago... www.apa.org/about/apa/ad....

Working with an interdisciplinary team, we have developed a website to communicate how the White House's proposed cuts to health research would cause losses of $16B and 68,500 jobs. Find out how your community may be impacted. Explore more at SCIMaP: scienceimpacts.org a 🧵

Had some devastating conversations yesterday about universities and free speech and our international students and scholars. Neither campus nor the cops are going to protect you. So please, if you've even ever walked by a protest, develop a buddy system so you no longer go places alone. 1/3

NEW—After a day of uncertainty on where agents took Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk, she appears to be in a Louisiana facility. 1400+ miles from Somerville, Massachusetts, where she was taken. A judge ordered to not take her out of state without 48 hour notice. She was detained last night.

👀 “It's really disturbing to see how spineless institutions led by liberals have been. People that we thought were our friends have basically thrown Black folks, women, LGBTQ folks under the bus so they can show that they are preemptively complying with executive orders that are unconstitutional”

Same girl. Same. 💯 tired. 😮‍💨

What better time than now to do a survey on the experiences of inequity among academics? Please share! ~20 min. rutgers.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

This is what leadership looks like

I am studying medical school responses to anti-DEI legislation. If only our deans were so courageous. #medicaleducation #meded #medsky #academicsky

Lots of leaders of colleges and other key institutions are staying silent, either out of fear or a misguided view of "neutrality." But not Michael Roth. wapo.st/4k1ueQt

New letter from Trump Dept of Ed suggests racial equity programs/DEI disadvantage #AsianAmericans and whites. Asian Americans, we should challenge this false, dangerous narrative EVERY SINGLE TIME. @oiyanpoon.bsky.social and I show why below www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...

Diversity supplements have been reopened! New expiration date May 8 2026

8/8. So, if you’re feeling down about these attacks, I understand—I feel that way too. But just remember that they’re not attacking because your work doesn’t matter; they’re attacking *precisely* because it does. So, get some rest, connect with your people, and keep doing it.

Academics and researchers are receiving emails from their higher-ups, explaining that rules are changing and their institutions are carefully monitoring the situation. Have any university higher-ups sent emails saying "We continue to be unwavering in our support for the rights of all human beings?"

Penn State has halted submission and *acceptance* of NIH grants pending the resolution of the overhead rate cut. This lost time will never be recovered. The economic cost to Pennsylvania is enormous and the cost to humanity immeasurable.

If you live in: ● Alaska ● Alabama ● Arkansas ● Florida ● Georgia ● Indiana ● Iowa ● Kansas ● Louisiana ● Missouri ● Montana ● Nebraska ● South Carolina ● South Dakota ● Texas ● Utah ● West Virginia You should be SCREAMING at your state's Attorney General to drop the case. dredf.org/protect-504/

This framing is their framing, and NYT took the bait. The correct and accurate framing is: “Deep cuts to medical research threatens progress on cancer and heart disease research, costs the economy $80B, and threatens 300,000 jobs across red and blue states”

This is maybe the sweetest thing I have seen on this app. And true even if hard 😮‍💨

On changes to #NIH indirect rates, there is a law in place that prohibits NIH from making such changes without the approval of Congress. See Division D, Title II Section 224 of The Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (Public Law No: 118-47) grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

The Senate HELP Committee has jurisdiction over NIH. GOP members of the committee represent AK, AL, IN, FL, KS, KY, LA, ME, MO, OH, and SC. Research universities and hospitals in those states need to be extra loud.

“The abrupt change represents “a nuclear bomb on university budgets,” says Morgan Polikoff, an education researcher at the University of Southern California. “I mean, listen, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out. They're just trying to hurt universities.””

Indirect rates are not determined by NIH. Instead, they are the product of elaborate negotiations between each institution and the “cognizant federal agency” according to an Office of Management and Budget document, Circular A-21. 1/n

🧵 When Medicine and Science Ignores Diversity, People Die. 1/ Ignoring diversity in medicine and science is deadly. From unethical experiments to life-threatening misdiagnoses, history is replete with examples of how neglecting race, gender, and identity costs lives. A thread of concrete examples.

Just finished serving on an NIA study section. Mostly business as usual. Some increased engagement and some words of encouragement and solidarity at the end, but otherwise nothing unique to report. Glad that NIH is able to at least continue with that essential function at the moment.

It is simply not enough for universities to say, “Our grants & research offices are looking into how research will be affected by the latest directive.” University leaders must actively and very publicly make the case for the kind of work many of us do. The silence on this front is deafening.

And to think of all the lives lost and their mourning communities. Terrible.

On the plus side, yesterday’s news suggests the various grant heavy Universities are looking at each other and possibly talking to each other about the their response to the executive order chaos. Bucking each other up for resistance would be a good thing.

Heads up! The @aclu.org Immigrant Rights Project has an EXCELLENT online resource available in multiple languages to walk immigrants or advocates through various scenarios of encounters with immigration officials or police. It includes contact #s for local ACLU offices. www.aclu.org/know-your-ri...

This whole week feels like a covid flashback for ppl in the south: 🟠 we’ve been stuck at home for days because the roads are all ice (bc no salt or plows) 🟠 trump is President 🟠 DEI and the NIH are under attack 🟠 and we are still expected to perform as usual

Bad news is coming in fast and furious today. The Chaos Continues Apace: The NIH Edition drugmonkey.scientopia.org/2025/01/22/t...

Trump has signed an executive order eliminating all funding for diversity and inclusion in the federal government, sending home DEI staff who will then be laid off. The historical echo for this is when Woodrow Wilson resegregated the federal government in 1913. We have reached the second nadir.
