@ctvnews-rss.bsky.social thank you for this wonderful example of a FAILED data visualization. My students @uoft.bsky.social will learn a number of cautionary tales from it.

With NSF and NIH and maybe DOE (DoD??) freezing all grants and then canceling any that contain DEI language while also imposing a strict 15% IDC requirement - I think it is clear we are entering the next scientific Ice Age.

Young folk lessons from old folk:

When moving out of your parents house you will certainly learn in time to clean your dishes and do your laundry, but the first thing you learn is that there are degrees of dirtiness.

I near the point of normalizing leaving the U.S. because it no longer holds scientific primacy.

I find the most difficult part of building a task list is deciding on the level of granularity for each big task.

Maybe I am becoming a true Canadian now.

Whenever anyone asks me where I am from originally - my first instinct is to apologize before I tell them I am from the U.S.

My main problem with all of the pieces I am reading about the #fuckboy cuts to science is that they are fractured and focused on self-interest.

We need to speak out in unison with one voice to stop the gutting of science in America. Else the public will tune us out.

@jdvance1.bsky.social is such a sycophant. Kiss the ring, no kiss the ring, no kiss the ring. I kissed the ring. It isn’t so bad.

I am just so saddened to see the systematic dismantling of the America’s scientific future.

My heart breaks to see so many young scientists not only fired but demeaned by a narcissist.

Public service is a choice to serve public good instead of your own financial interests.

Just got my first real shot across the bow showing me that I really need to LLM proof my exams.

Who has been thinking about this? Any tips?

Science as we know it in America is now dead.

This is not to say that it is dead completely, but it is undergoing plastic surgery via sledge hammer and rotary saw.

Amazing in just a few short years the U.S. went from “Change you can believe in.” to “Believe me, there will be change!”

U.S. spending is dominated by Medicare, Social Security, Debt Payments, and the military. Attacking science funding is like stomping ants to solve your elephant problem

I don’t understand people who can sit and watch a talk but don’t have a million questions at the end of it. Like I have to constantly restrain myself from overwhelming people with questions.

I mean how bad could the fascist be? They turned their fascist statements into rhetorical devices. It is almost humanizing. Almost
