I have institutional access myself, but in the bigger picture, I think this should be easily accessible to John Q Public, so they know the situation.

@nature.com Nice reporting, but you can’t pull the paywall on something like this?

Also picked up K-8 sleepovers on the regular when parents decided they were desperate for some normalcy

I ran saliva testing for schools in that time. It’s weird that surveillance testing did things like pick up whole hockey teams at once, or identified huge swaths of kids that attended a John Hues style house party in the midst of the pandemic, since young people aren’t spreaders.

Hopefully councils will follow. If they don’t, review is pretty useless. If they do, well then let’s hope those councils can move like our research lives depend on them, because they might. When a new budget/CR is passed, who knows what it will look like for research in America

Love these scraping tools. David O’Connor at UW has developed similar for both NIH reporter and study sections. I’m worried you guys will make them stop publishing these data but until then, shine the light!

Sounds like there is actually a limit of 50 FR additions this council round, despite their being 170 standing study sections. Who’s gonna get chosen? If you are on a standing study section and need a SEP to review your grant, I might not feel great.

Same directional trend for dems I’m sure, but happy to bet a steak dinner there is a larger slope for republicans in each case, related to conservative media influence.

Will the NIH science policy and grant funding be based on germ theory? Will miasma theory, a germ theory alternative, be used to dictate science policy or funding of any sort?

It was a mistake to fire the Nights Watch and tear down the wall in the deuchiest way possible. The 20 year old intern didn’t know the white walkers were real. We just assumed the wall and the watch were big government bloat. We are rebuilding the wall. Thank you for your grace and patience

It’s not unusual, or so I’ve been told 🤮

In terms of impact, scale and timeframe, a historic scientific accomplishment. If Trump bragged about this, I would just have to nod. Yet he doesn’t, and brags about fake or manufactured nonsense every day. We are living in the upside down

We might soon need your support to continue Illinois’ in biomedical research if the federal government decides to abandon the greatest biomedical research (and training) engine in the history of the world.

It’s very tough because graduate student and postdoc stipends are already a contentious point. They are underpaid for their expertise level. Grants are so carefully budgeted and salary such a big percentage, you have no money for supplies etc if you cut 30%. Or you fire 1 of 1 or 2 staff?

NAS-receives their funding from….the federal government. It’s also my understanding members received an email with the punchline “don’t be too loud” but I certainly wasn’t on the mailing list and didn’t see the email
