Wow!
Women are principal investigators (PI) in approximately 1/3 of federal grants.
But when you look at nearly 1400 terminated grants at NSF, those led by women as PIs count for nearly 2/3!
Rampant sexism when getting these grants, rampant sexism when losing them…

"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants.
Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."

Another scoop from Jeff Mervis (@policyhound.bsky.social): NSF's ~1400 grant terminations have disproportionately affected PIs from groups underrepresented in science: women, racial & ethnic minorities, & those with disabilities. 1/3

Let’s just forget about elections and hand over every municipal, local and federal office to the super rich of that area and call a quits to democracy!
That’s how it was anyway, lords, dukes, aristocracy held all the power and $$, they were so rich, could not have had conflict of interest!

BASH: One of the concerns is that Elon Musk has billions tied up in govt contracts. You don't see a conflict of interest?
CHRIS SUNUNU: Everyone has a conflict of interest

Athletes or equipment? This is hilarious! 😆
Now, you all might be surprised but, chances are, the annual cost of a single horse for the equestrian team might be more than the salary of a tenure-track faculty…🤷🏻♀️
I say, the joke is on us!

Hope all the Syrians from all denominations, ethnicities and walks of life could come together and build a peaceful country together.
Everyone is happier in their home. Around holidays, it pains me to think about millions of children shuffled across borders because grown ups can’t stop fighting.

Does he have the character traits to lead the entire Department of Defense? That’s what the Senate will decide…
Just look at his attitude even towards the Fox camera person.
If he becomes a secretary, he’s in public office paid by our tax $$, and needs to answer to everyone. Hope he understands it

Hegseth: I don't answer to anyone in this group, none of you, not to that camera at all. I answer to President Trump.. I answer to the 50— the 100 senators who are part of this process and those in the committee.

France is trying to dodge the bullet. The ICC stature explicitly states NO IMMUNITY to heads of states, governments, members of parliament, etc. in Article 27.
Some shocking nonsense from France here. No one gets immunity from an ICC arrest warrant because they're in office - not Netanyahu, not Putin, no one.
