Make a huge mistake. Then make a false claim about how you fixed it.

They did it for PEPFAR.

Now Ebola.

I follow this particular topic VERY closely, so here's what really happened and why this isn't true AT ALL...🧵
Elon Musk: "We will make mistakes. We won't be perfect ... so for example, with USAID, one of the things we accidentally canceled very briefly was ebola prevention."

If you're a scientist that serves on an NSF panel that got cancelled today, I'd love to talk to you about it for an NPR story. DM, email or reach out on signal.

NIH and now NSF.

Effectively the entirety of science funding in America is on hold.
I’m an NSF panel reviewer that was scheduled to meet today. Just got notice that all NSF panels were canceled today. I reviewed some innovative proposals in support of students. Devastating if these scholars don’t get to do this work. For the love of science & students I hope this is just a delay.💔

I’m new and these are my cats. I’m working on my PhD studying black bear genetics, diet, and morphology. I also enjoy:
Embroidery
Video games (mostly RPG or chill games atm)
Hiking/backpacking
Fantasy genre things like Lord of the Rings and Studio Ghibli
