75 faculty from cut departments (like Earth & Atmospheric Sciences) received notice that their jobs will end in Jan 2027.

A year seems like a lot of notice, but it's basically too late for this year's job cycle and too early for next year's.

Academics and technologists are sounding the alarm about a growing crisis in scholarship as we know it: AI-generated citations of nonexistent papers that have infested real journals. Despite being fake, the sources are widely assumed to be authentic the more they appear in published literature.

Kennedy has insisted covid shots are still easy to obtain, claiming that @hassan.senate.gov was “making things up to scare people.”

But The Post talked to people who are struggling to get the vaccine. Elaine Cox, a 68-year-old with lung disease, said she wept after being denied a prescription.
In a combative appearance before the Senate Finance Committee on Thursday, Kennedy bristled when Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-New Hampshire) accused the Trump administration of taking steps that deny people vaccines. "Everybody can get the vaccine. You're just making things up," Kennedy said. "You're making things up to scare people, and it's a lie." In Virginia, Elaine Cox said she and her husband asked their doctor for a prescription before leaving Saturday for a vacation in Italy. The office declined because it hadn't received CDC guidance. Cox, 68, suffers from chronic lung disease, and her nephew died of the viral infection in 2022. "I was crying this afternoon about this," she said on Thursday. "My family takes [covid] very seriously."

🧵 An open letter to the US Open and USTA:

Trump will attend the #USOpen as a guest of ROLEX. Yesterday, Trump declared 'WAR' on Chicago. The USTA has called for media censorship of dissent against Trump today.

I played NCAA tennis many years ago and still play. Today I resign my #USTA membership.
