Whenever you hear someone sneer about scientific research that seems useless to them — “they’re studying the spit of lizards?!” — remind them that’s exactly how we got Ozempic.

These cuts will have effects that reverberate for years. The chaos itself disrupts the long-term planning needed for good science. And that’s different from the private sector.

"It takes years to build a science lab." New post from us.

"The long timelines to build up a team... make science research work different than many parts of the private sector."

Science is hard to build but easy to break. The uncertainty is right now breaking cancer research. 🧪
It takes years to build a science lab
Productive science requires a great team, and that team develops together. That's one reason chaotic interference is dangerous for science.

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.

⚠️ Effective Monday 2/10/25, NIH indirect rate capped at 15%. Applies to existing & future grants.

—> Deep budget cuts & program closures coming to a university near you.

Is this the break the glass moment for university administrators who have been silent so far about the attack on science?

I have heard from multiple sources today that lawyers who provide Know Your Rights presentations in ICE detention centers have been kicked out completely.

These presentations are sometimes the only way people in detention find out details about the process they’re going through.
