@nickkristof.bsky.social directly on target how we should be thinking about the demand side of our U.S. drug problem, with concrete ideas. More prevention, earlier intervention, treatment on demand, denormalize drug use without stigmatizing users in need.
A pal of mine here in Oregon, Drew, was using & selling fentanyl, all while shoplifting on an industrial scale. I argue that both left and right have failed America on drugs, and that our West Coast liberal "compassion" and tolerance amounted to permissiveness that made things worse. bit.ly/42OMhTW

Notice Number: NOT-OD-25-068
Office of The Director, National Institutes of Health (OD)
🚨RED ALERT for 🧪:

The Trump NIH just gashed indirect costs. This is a direct attack on universities.

“Pursuant to this Supplemental Guidance, there will be a standard rate of 15% across all NIH grants for indirect costs.” 😮

Just a devastating Friday night news dump. #scicomm #academicaky
