I must’ve been a postdoc at MIT or a new-ish engineering professor when I first heard the story of how Ben Barre overheard colleagues talking about how his research was so much better than his ‘sister’ Barbara’s.
We're disappointed to see Ben Barres's powerful book "The Autobiography of a Transgender Scientist" among the ~400 titles removed from the Naval Academy Library. Needless to say, we're proud to have published his book and will keep it — and his memory — alive.
The Coming Out of a Transgender Scientist
"I know that I am making the right decision because whenever I think about changing my gender role, I am flooded with feelings of relief."

I remember very well the emaciated Russian soldiers selling their hats and coats for hard currency and food after the Berlin Wall fell in 1989. Now unpaid US soldiers get food from German food banks.
"Running list of German support organizations for your kit bags," said a US Army website in Germany about the government shutdown. It was a list of local food banks
US Army Tells Soldiers to Go to German Food Bank, Then Deletes It
The initial 'Shutdown Guidance' for the US Army Garrison Bavaria included instructions to go to German food banks.

Multi-Year funding analysis, a 🧵

I have been trying to find a robust way of quantifying and understanding multi-year (forward funding).

First, some background:

Most NIH grants are for multiple years (2 to 5, typically).

However, the are usually funded on an annual basis.
