This may be the death of me.
I posted yesterday about the shift to triaging 70% of NIH applications rather than 50%.
This is apparently just a temporary step to catch up for all of the study section meetings cancelled due to the government shutdown.
I hope NIH will collect some data to track the impacts of this change.

I am seeing a lot of posts about Rosalind Franklin that themselves ignore her publication record on DNA!
In fact Franklin and Gosling's paper, including the famous Photograph #51, was published, along with Wilkins's paper, back-to-back with the Watson and Crick paper in Nature in 1953.

Sliwa can show different facets but my favorite is his clown show on NY1 with Borrero- esp. when they were joking about “King Cuomo the 2nd”
Continually surprised by how classy Sliwa manages to look, admittedly by comparison to lowlifes
Zohran Mamdani says on NY1 he didn't get a congratulatory call from either Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams last night.
He says he got a congratulatory call from Curtis Sliwa, though.

Maria Riva, la hija de Marlene Dietrich que desmitificó la leyenda, muere a los 100 años
Tuvo una infancia caótica, como doncella y ayudante de campo de su madre. En 1993, su exitosa biografía contó el terrible precio que la fama tuvo para ambas.

Not a word from the ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt on Tucker hosting Fuentes. Amazing.
I just checked his Twitter feed and plenty on Mamdani and even Norway (!) but not a word about a top conservative podcaster hosting an infamous Holocaust denier.
Greenblatt is beyond parody at this point.

We also know that his use of the term “very suggestive” still overstates the what the data show, but that it is also more than enough for at least 1/3 of Americans to continue to believe this lie.

By a fun coincidence, the estimated total number of observable stars in the Universe is about a mole (1E23)
But 1 mole of water molecules is about 1 tablespoon, 18 mL.
So, there are more molecules in a tablespoon of water than all the (observable) stars in the Universe!
Happy Mole Day 2025!

Your science history fact for the day: Avogadro's constant was coined by physicist Jean Perrin (shown) who defined it as the number of molecules in 16 grams of oxygen & proposed it be named after Amedeo Avogadro, who had died 4 years previously.

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government.
She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her.
So I confronted him.

I have never heard a Jewish person complaining about fish and chips being considered 'British food' now btw or calling it cultural appropriation etc.
It's part of the deal, right? Immigrants come here, we get to enjoy and absorb some of their lovely stuff. It becomes "British" and so do they.

fish & chips is Jewish street food. it's well-documented Victorian Jewish immigrants started selling it.
I well remember my grandmother doing a big batch of 'fried fish' in matzo meal every Friday to eat cold for Shabbes lunch. I'm willing to bet 'white English' people don't have that memory.
