This is horrible 😞
8. It is difficult to overstate what a catastrophe this will be for the US research and education systems, particular in biomedical fields.

It is deliberate and wanton devastation entirely out of scale with any concern about DEI activities on campuses.

The goal is destroy US universities.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.

Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

Great synopsis of how genetic inheritance works for rare diseases

"...even for a condition with 50% heritability, most affected parents will still have unaffected offspring and most affected offspring will come from unaffected parents"

Imagine a life where you don't have to drive every damn place and you also didn't have to live in one of like 3 American cities with reliable mass transit
Paris to Berlin (1054 km; ~655miles) in 8 hours by high speed rail. We could have that in the U.S. too. Support high speed rail! 🧪💡🔌🚄☀️💨🔋
The last time there were regular direct daytime trains from Paris to Berlin (in 2015), the service took 13 hours. Last week a new daily service was launched. It takes just 8 hours. Daily from Paris at 0955
