Even with these moves in Congress, the budget process is always evolving. Check out our FY26 approps dashboard to keep up with the story as it's being written. www.aaas.org/news/fy-2026...

With that context in mind, I noted that science funding might be ok for FY26, as long as it gets spent as appropriated. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/10/s...

The NYT published a story that highlights how Congress has pulled back from the PBR's proposed cuts. The numbers show more favorable outcomes in the House and Senate for R&D. Damage was done in 2025, but these potential funding outcomes are better than what was feared.

Since Jan 1 2025, which feels like four trillion years ago, research has been shared on here 5 million whole-ass times. Bluesky recently passed 2 billion posts IN TOTAL. So 0.25% of the entire site's traffic was citations to research. That is actually massively high. Is it? Yes. Here's why.

And book chapters, too! ideas.repec.org/i/h.html #RePEc #EconSky

Publishers can also index books on RePEc. Some already do ideas.repec.org/i/b.html #RePEc #EconSky

So Instacart showed different people different prices for eggs. Shocking? Before the outrage, ignore the Twitter press release. Look at what they actually found. Understand the facts and the economic theory to make sense of it www.economicforces.xyz/p/instacarts...

Google Scholar attributes papers automatically to authors, a problem with homonyms when they do not clean up their profiles. It is also generous in matching citations. #RePEc requires authors to claim their papers and has stricter criteria for citation matching, thus does not inflate stats.#EconSky
