It looks like Trump's hand picked Supreme Court isn't going to stop him from rescinding money that Congress already agreed to use. How can Democrats agree to a Republican budget that lets Trump delete the parts of it he doesn't like?

Great clip. About PhDs here on H1B’s that “create entire industries.”

Here is a word cloud of the words that were missing from the noncompetitive renewal awards but had been present in the parent award. 3/4

Let’s all place bets on what RFK Jr. identifies as the “causes” of autism in his upcoming blockbuster reveal. I’ll take the low-hanging fruit and go with vaccines and heavy metals. What he won’t acknowledge is the overwhelming contribution of genetics, because he can’t sue someone over that.

it shouldn't be easier to get a gun in America than the covid vaccine

Turkiye!

Jack White, 2028. This is how it’s done.

The chief justice of the US has painted himself as a modern institutionalist over the past 20 years. Experts say he’s emboldening Trump’s drive toward authoritarianism.

More than a little misleading. But Francis Collins is being polite. Say it straight: RFK and Bhattacharya are liars, selected for their ability to mislead the public, like so much of this administration’s picks. Why are so many Trump appointees Fox hosts? For this reason.

Calling local addiction neuroscientists! I'm excited to be involved in @karlakaun.bsky.social's great brain child, this year's New England Addiction Neuroscience Conference, to be held on the Brown campus August 15th. Hope to see you there! See attached flyer for details and registration.

Off by about 20 years😂

Still waiting on my NCE to be approved (quite extensive, given the lab move, grant transfer delays, lab renovations, etc.). Anyone else waiting on NCEs? Are these under threat as well?

If this all sounds like a calculated plan to reduce the size of the federally funding biomedical research enterprise, I believe that is exactly what is it. The notion that this "facilitates efficient management" of grants and the appropriation is, to use an official NIH term, horseshit. /fin

To give people idea of what this means- this is how they make it look like they are getting money out the door but they are doing this to make drastic cuts- instead of spending 1 year worth of funds spread out they are concentrating funds on fewer grants. Public science is getting decapitated

There’s a nonzero chance you will die from a cancer that could have been curable because people who couldn’t pass 7th grade biology and are scared of things like “mRNA” and “riboflavin” and “walkable cities” decided to make their ignorance everybody else’s problem

Staff scientist position (computational): I am looking for a computational scientist to join my genomics lab at Stanford. They should have an outstanding skillset in ML/statistical methods for genomic applications, postdoc experience and a strong publication record. #sciencejobs

the workshop leading to today's announcement. It's 4.5h long but probably anyone funded for animal work needs to watch this: www.youtube.com/live/vz1uF42...

“Government funding fuels the high-risk, high-reward research that leads to scientific breakthroughs. When that foundation is undermined, so are the hopes of the 1 in 3 people living with a brain disease or disorder — more than 114 million Americans.” www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

This is extraordinarily dangerous and will slow academic biomedical research and drug development. A total ban is on the horizon. www.drugdiscoverytrends.com/nih-announce...

abstract deadline has been extended for the 10th annual NIDA-sponsored CPDA conference (Chemistry & Pharmacology of Drug Abuse) here at Northeastern University in Boston, 8/7-8/8. It is a fantastic meeting, hope to see you there! cpdaconference.org

Anyone good news today? wow.

If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow. The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.

Every scientist should discuss the consequences of the NIH and NSF grant terminations and delays and failure to fund at their home institution at the end of a talk or seminar. Even if a scientist’s own funding is not threatened, I GUARANTEE there is someone at their institution affected.

Why did I do this? The short answer? Everyone is saying “someone should do something,” and I am someone.

There is a false dichotomy drawn between "the ivory tower" and "the real world," and I'm here to report that in a post-industrial society, your real-world economy absolutely hinges on the university. University towns are factory towns. Universities drive economic activity, not the other way around.
