Since search is dead, how soon do you think Google Scholar is headed for the Google Graveyard? I'm betting it's soon, and academia is NOT prepared

More presidents are signing today (Columbia, UCLA, have been added). It is interesting the list is organized by the name of the president, not the university. Also lots of orgs (MLA, etc)
NEW TODAY: 200 college and university presidents band together to condemn “unprecedented government overreach” in higher education and reaffirm the “essential freedom to determine, on academic grounds, whom to admit and what is taught, how, and by whom.” www.aacu.org/newsroom/a-c...

And then there is this. If you were hoping to put in a new request for ABCD study data access, you are likely out of luck.

So, you can request a study from the NIMH Data Archive (NDA) but the data structure package for download actually contains no data.
