In a fit of madness, I decided to start converting all my slides from 4:3 to 16:9, as is now the most widely used aspect ratio of most displays 🖥📽. I hope it'll remain unchanged until my retirement. If someone decide to establish a new standard I'll kill them with my bare hands

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.

I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.

I also hope they will use guillotines 🙏, for the symbolism.

Hello Bluesky! 👋
I'm @ezeferrero on Twitter.
I'm a bit lazy to migrate already, but will be checking the app from time to time and building network to be ready when the day comes. See you around!
