I would ask people to call or message their senators about this and specifically that Vinay Prasad needs to be out at FDA. Even the Wall Street Journal has said as much. There is push back. Companies won’t fund clinical trials if they can’t trust the FDA.

Today, I told my students: We're working under pressures and constraints that aren't of our own making and that we have limited power to control. So, let’s not pretend that social forces stop at the classroom door. Instead, let’s take care of each other with empathy and support.

new level of science vendor dystopia: having to submit a webform to request a product's datasheet. It's annoying enough to do this with pricing. But datasheets? Absolutely not! đź§Ş

As a both a PI that received a Diversity Supplement to support a student on my R01, and a PO that reviewed them, they were never about "handing out money at the end of the year based on race" and always about the training potential and commitment.

Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.

💯this. The window for stopping the total destruction of US science is short - ask a scientist in Hungary. This is a time for bravery, resolve and action, not for putting your head down and “focusing on the science”. We need all hands on deck.

There is no common ground with those who don't see you as a full human being. You can't change minds but you can make their goals untenable. While the attention economy has rotted our collective brains, use it. Fight smarter and be vicious. There is no high road in hell.

Firing and demoralizing feminized jobs as enemies of the state while brazenly bribing men with violent jobs that almost instantly puts them into the middle of middle class is very basic gendered warfare. Fulfilling the manosphere’s promise.

They recovered over 180 bullet shells at the CDC. Debris from shattered glass is still being cleaned up. I am completely stunned at how quickly the news cycle has moved on. This was an act of terrorism targeting public health experts, and the response seems to be a collective shrug.

I never went into academic science because I wanted to be wealthy—I fully knew the opposite is true. Instead I went into academic science because I have a lot of questions about how our cells work and I enjoy mentoring young scientists.

Many of us have long been worried about the harm of the 50% multiyear funding (MYF) requirement. When NCI published their payline at 4% AND cited MYF as the cause, I thought: “Someone in NCI is a hero. They took a huge risk to make the community aware.”

The massive list of suspended UCLA grants came out today: 300 NSF and 500 NIH grants. I am miraculously not on the list, but this is devastating. Science will be lost, progress will be frozen, people will lose jobs, and careers in science and medicine are being destroyed. This is not ok.

Given the lack of significant outrage, people are either unaware or believe they can weather this storm. The latter set reminds me of folks confident they would get on the lifeboats when the Titanic was sinking. At 5% success & a six-grant application limit, there aren't enough lifeboats. /2

The NIH was healthiest when pay lines were in the 20th percentile range. We are headed into an environment where pay lines are in the 5% range. In my entire career, I’ve only had 3 grants that scored better than 5%. And my lab is considered a successful one. This is going to destroy science.
