Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Not fun fact according to the American Federation of Teachers: As of 2020, 25% of adjunct professors were eligible for public assistance. I had colleagues who used food stamps.
Poverty doesn’t always look like what you’d expect, and none of us are guaranteed a life without un- or under-employment.

The University of Chicago won’t admit students in 19 of its doctoral programs in the 2026-27 academic year, in part due to “ongoing uncertainty in the federal landscape.”
Doctoral Programs Were Already Under Strain. Things May Be Getting Worse.
Some signs point to smaller-than-usual cohorts and paused programs in the next academic year.

The NSF posted an announcement on Sept 8th with “full solicitation coming” and no indication of the changes- consistent with a chaotic process occurring to make these decisions. At least they delayed the deadlines and have now provided reference letter deadline (earlier than application deadline).

It is really disheartening to see the men who are in charge of science and healthcare in the United States stand before us all and spew misinformation about autism.
To claim that genetic background isn’t the overwhelming contributor to autism is egregious.

Not an easy job under the best of circumstances and right now it's the pits.

Hearing rumor of a 2/3rds reduction in admissions to a graduate program. “The rest are made up by direct admits.”
This is an inevitable response to financial pressures caused by unionized salary gains, NIH chaos and overall funding uncertainty.
