Back in the old days, we used to call this a purge. Firing all your senior leaders at NIH? It's a purge. Just call it what it is.
More news (not good) from NIH
The renewal request from National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke Director Walter Koroshetz has been denied.
I guess the NIH_leadership™ needed another position to fill with their time-tested recruitment process.

Zoom said I had a meeting open but I couldn’t see it. Took 40 min to realize my second monitor, which was turned off, was plugged in, and my Mac was helpfully sending the meeting window there.
