The faculty who say we should use AI to grade/give feedback because it's a way for us to "reclaim our time."

It isn't our time. It's theirs. If you have such little respect for your students and their time, quit.

Eating disorders are among the deadliest mental health conditions & they often become chronic.
Yet Trump’s HHS is cutting eating disorder research & the MAHA report doesn’t mention them.

Eating disorder research defunded despite MAHA focus on chronic conditions
Experts on eating disorders like anorexia worry that research funding cuts mean patients won't get the care they need.

Montana's anti-trans bathroom ban is BLOCKED by the courts.
The judge finds that the ban was "motivated by animus" and that it showed no evidence that it protects safety and privacy.

I know not everyone can keep up with all the grant terminations, but it’s important to know what we’re losing so I’ll try to compile them here.
First is a study on intimate partner violence with perinatal women (note: the #1 cause of death during pregnancy is homicide)

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.
More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.
I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.
