Dr. Caravello’s abduction by immigration officials last week was a clear violation of their right to free speech and an attempt to terrorize union members and educators who speak out against injustice in their communities.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.

I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.
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.

My first post to recommend a great read about global poverty reduction and the limited notion of economic growth. It discusses a basic needs approach, the ecological costs and offers hope while calls for shifting policies and cultural mindsets about consumption. doi.org/10.1016/j.wd...
