Institutions that administer research will not be able to cover this shortfall in indirects. This WILL result in layoffs.
NIH caps "indirect research costs" at 15%, potentially surrendering decades of US dominance in medical research.

As someone who works Federal adjacent, I am very fucking happy this week is over.

Embarrassed to admit that I have not been a big reader lately and I’m trying to change that. Starting book #1 of the year.
