I woke up out of a dead sleep at 2AM & was convinced I left antibodies out so I got out of bed & went to the lab…I did not leave antibodies out. They were in the 4 degree where they belong. <3

This is insane

I have confirmation from several sources now that all T32s, many F30s and F31s, and most or all Center awards (P30, P50) have been terminated at Columbia.

This is quite damaging to research and to individuals.

This is pure terrorism and cannot be legal. But litigation will take time...

Live in #Philadelphia? Live near #Philadelphia? Free next Saturday March 1? Come join us at the birthplace of the Declaration of Independence to make your voice heard @50501movement.bsky.social @indivisible.org #NoKings #RestThenResist #FightForScience
This is a black and white flyer with information about an upcoming rally and protest in Philadelphia. It shows a picture of Independence Hall, a landmark building in the old city section of Philadelphia. This is the building where the declaration of independence was signed around. The spire of the building are the words “NO KINGS” and “NO TRUMP”. On the lower half of the flyer, it gives the name of the protest: ONE MARCH 2025. Below that is the hashtag for the organizing movement, #50501MOVEMENT. On the lower right of the flyer is the information for the protest: Saturday, March 1, 1:11 PM, Independence Hall. Below that is the subreddit for the sponsors: R/50501. I will be there – please come join us in Philadelphia, the birthplace of our nation.

@c4lifesciences.bsky.social includes @sfn.org and many others. Hey neuroscientists & all life scientists: here’s the chance to briefly document and then widely share how the EOs are influencing you, your lab, your trainees 🧪🧠

This is a great way to get our story out in a very personal way that will make the story human!
c4lifesciences.bsky.social Coalition for Life Sciences @c4lifesciences.bsky.social · Feb 20
Scientists, we need your stories!

Post a 2-minute video on whatever social media apps you use. Show us your empty labs, tell us about the grant you are waiting for, and talk about why you do what you do.

Tag @c4lifesciences.bsky.social and #Cuts2Science Tag your Members of Congress!

"Unexpectedly" is actually not an accurate descriptor of polices historically know to .... raise inflation

It's not complicated. They're just trying to stop women from being able to vote.

Beefing so hard with RStudio.

Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania has indirect rate of 70%, but they probably didn’t want to list that atop Harvard because defunding a children’s hospital might be perceived as problematic.

This is devastating
davidho.bsky.social David Ho @davidho.bsky.social · Feb 8
These overhead rates are negotiated. Lowering it unilaterally to 15% is another way to destroy science in the US. Can’t wait to see what’s next.
Tweet from NIH: Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as "indirect costs." Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above what many major foundations allow and much lower than the 60%+ that some institutions charge the government today. This change will save more than $4B a year effective immediately.
