How bad will it be? Catastrophic.
Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come.
But, this is the WH's *proposed* budget.
Speak up now before it is too late.

Every human body, and life, is a blend of biological and cultural processes and nowhere is that more evident than sex biology and the human experience. That blend is what “Sex is a Spectrum: the biological limits of the binary” @princetonupress.bsky.social is ultimately about.

Here's some background on what overhead is, what this change does, and why it will be devastating for research universities.
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.

Also, NSF staff expect 341 additional terminations today, bringing the total number of terminations to ~1,380.
