🥳Let's cheer each other up by sharing something good that happened in your clinic or Lab this week....
We got snow in Houston, and with my lab closed, I had distraction free research time. I made legit progress on my @astro-org.bsky.social abstract 😊💃💃💃😊

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.
Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

Every time I read about banning books, I think of this:
Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius.
If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.
