I had no paid family leave, and twice went back to teaching a week after a c-section. I don’t think this was ideal for my students.
My colleague @sarahhird.bsky.social has been fighting for family care leave for over a year now. So impressed with her leadership!

Opinion: This is UConn: Zero paid family leave for professors
UConn currently lets every pregnant/expecting individual reinvent the wheel, cobbling together a leave plan with whatever resources and departmental grace they can muster.

"We are speaking on behalf of hundreds of NIH staff who are standing up together to say: WE DISSENT.
I am so scared about doing this but I am trying to be brave for my kids because it's only gonna get harder to speak up."
Thank you to Dr. Jenna Norton and NIH scientists for your courage!

The proposed deep cuts to the NIH budget will hit biotechs-in fact, the upheaval already is affecting some. In addition to hobbling academia, where innovation starts, it'll shrink the gov seed $ that tiny firms, esp those outside biotech hubs, rely on. My latest @opinion.bloomberg.com (🎁 link):
Biotech Start-Ups Feel the Pain of Federal Funding Cuts
Government grants are critical to the research ecosystem, and patients will suffer.

Part of why American government is crumbling is because the most powerful interests have sided with the destruction of their own foundations. Big Pharma's lobbying arm, PhRMA, has issued not one word about the Trump admin's assault on NIH.
Why not? Who knows, maybe they just prefer fascism. 🤷♂️
