the "administration pays lip service to...AI innovation... [but] are decimating funding for research, attempting to destroy the independence of academic research, trying to use political muscle to protect US tech firms, and are closing off borders to both export of hardware and import of talent" 🔥🔥

Research universities are often the largest employers in their region. They are often the primary health care providers to communities. This funding shift will not only reduce US research leadership, it will put working people out of work and reduce healthcare access.

There are legit criticisms of IDCs and how they are negotiated, but cutting infrastructural and administrative support to 1/4-1/6 of what it was overnight is a devastating assault on universities and US biomedical research.

The ORCA Catalytic Awards Program is LIVE! Supported by @chanzuckerberg.bsky.social, grants of up to $15,000 to foster open science & scholarship at non-R1 & under-resourced US institutions. More details & application: www.orcaopen.org/work/cap #OpenResearch #OpenScience #OpenData #OpenScholarship

Pleased to bring together key actors from across geographies, disciplines, and communities to exchange #OpenScience perspectives and visions. More on this workshop and ORCA's efforts to make science more engaging, accessible, and actionable here: www.orcaopen.org/work
