This is Orwellian (first time for me to ever invoke that term).

Trump administration is calling people in the country "unlawful" who are: immigrants who signed all the paperwork, entered the country legally, and have remained here documented and lawfully.

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.

WXV 1: Australia defeat Wales in heart stopping finish | World Rugby
A nail-biting finish was only one of the key moments in a highly entertaining 25-19 win for Australia over Wales in the first match of the final round of WXV 1.

What do you do when you have cricket feet and a cat that loves to attack movement under covers... But now it's hot at night so that cover is just a thin sheet and your feet are getting the Psycho treatment 🔪

Wait, WTAF?

This is utterly demented "policy". If you want to completely destroy edu then this is pretty much how you'd do it.

"In the interests of competition, royalties would be paid based on how popular the materials are."

FGS I hope this is resisted *extremely* loudly and strongly.
Beware Act's free-market curriculum
In reducing the curriculum to a function of choice, competition, and financial gain, Act’s policy bypasses questions about what the curriculum is for and the fundamental role it plays in a public ed...

a friend of mine’s mom once asked his new gf for xmas gift suggestions for him, gf told her “he’s really into vinyl lately,” meaning records. a few days later his mom called back & said “look whatever you two do on your own time is your business but I think it was inappropriate to tell me about it”
Thinking about the time my first boyfriend’s mom saw one of these in his dorm room and told him, “I don’t care what you and Mara do in your own time, but put that away when I come over”

It’s so weird how all these players are getting sick at the US Open during a Covid surge in NYC, will we ever find an answer to this medical mystery
