Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings.
But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.

Direct Economic Contributions
NIH directly supports the economy through investments in research institutions and job formation.

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.

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

This platform has grown explosively since the election, but growth has slowed down the past few days. Should we be concerned?
No. A temporary plateau was inevitable given the heterogeneity of social media users. From my point of view Bluesky is already over the hump 1/

Some great threads on grant review. I just sat on my first F panel and these ring true! Also if you are submitting a revised application, clearly outline how you have addressed the previous critiques in a way that is easy for the next reviewers to follow.
The basic principle is that reviewers are tired, they're rushed, they're reading your and 10 other grants on top of their normal workload.
Anything you can do to make it easy for them will help.
Here's a list of my suggestions.

Here's a list of my suggestions.
As a grant reviewer, what do you really wish people would do/not do?
Not big things, like find a significant question/innovative method/be consistent with aims
Little things, like bold each acronym the first time it’s used.
Add your pet peeves ⬇️

Really good synopsis of this ever question
Who should you nominate as reviewers for your manuscript? After a long chat with a post-grad it appears that there's a lot of misguided advice out there. Thread 👇

The Bills-Chiefs matchup wasn’t just the game of the week, it was the most-watched NFL regular-season game of 2024 and the most-watched non-holiday game since 2007.
Buffalo’s win averaged a whopping 31.2 million viewers for CBS.
