Friends, take action to prevent grant funding decisions at NIH and NSF from being made by political appointees, instead of experts in scientific fields themselves!
ACTION ITEM-----ACTION ITEM
Implementation of Schedule F
This is what a lot of us have been worried about.
This allows for many civil service positions to replaced with political appointees. This could include NIH institute directors and even POs.
BUT THERE IS A COMMENT PERIOD...

It's publication day for Gesture: A Slim Guide
If you have been wanting to think about gesture in your own research, bring it into your teaching or connect with the field of Gesture Studies, this is for you. It's under 50k words and has a nifty glossary too.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH
