At the risk of talking of nothing but the NIH and the training grant, every person on the grant has to be a U.S. citizen, non-citizen national, or permanent resident of the U.S. One of the things all the fellows need to do right when they start is send in a payback agreement. Standard. No big deal.

I know the spiteful assholes behind this move see it as a way to punish those pointy-headed professors, but this will hurt their students, their communities and states, and also ordinary Americans who benefit from scientific breakthroughs at these universities in countless ways.
⚠️ Effective Monday 2/10/25, NIH indirect rate capped at 15%. Applies to existing & future grants.

Is this the break the glass moment for university administrators who have been silent so far about the attack on science?

I do many things at work, but the longest standing thing I've done is that I serve as the administrative face of an NIH T32. This T32 functions to offer MD/PhD or some combo of both fellowships in what amounts to bench to bedside research in an untold number of labs around the school of medicine

I belong to this site that hooks up volunteers with researchers, and they're primarily online questionnaires and I don't qualify or am not interested in a bunch of them and this one is the one I'm not interested in more than any other thing, ever. You all are not ok.

"Comptroller Sean Scanlon said that following conversations with Anthem, the provider for the state employee health plan and many others throughout Connecticut, Anthem will no longer be implementing the policy to limit coverage of anesthesiology." Sad. I was looking forward to them busting out the

And this was years BEFORE he started shilling nonsense cures to dummies. They were speaking strictly of his capabilities as a physician, which were non-existent/awful.

I've worked with cardiologists for almost 30 years. Clinicians, physician scientists, research - and it will come as no surprise that even before the current situation, more than one have said how utterly terrible Oz is. One went to so far as to call him "the stupidest practicing MD I've ever met"

The other thing I've taken to doing is rather than giving people the finger, I give the thumbs down. The Finger = aggressive, possibly road rage causing. The Thumbs Down = disappointed and judgy!

I always carry post it notes in my bag, so that when I come across a bumpersticker or the like, I write "MAKE BETTER CHOICES" and put it over the offending message. ANARCHY IN CONNECTICUT!!!!!

I'm a little obsessed with internet archives and reading NY-based magazines from the 80s-90s and forgot that I'd screenshotted a bunch of things from, I want to say George Magazine, and please feast your eyes, lest you think the Orange Hobgoblin has changed, ever.
