As miserable as this season was, I’m truly grateful to have found an #isles community here. Hopefully we can enjoy things more in the future.

My son’s first #isles game was a St. Patrick’s day matinee in Detroit in 2019. The first thing he started talking about at the end of tonight’s game was how Matt Martin tossed him a puck during warmups! We are Matt Martin fans for life!

Glad I missed the first period for my son’s school event and feel no desire to watch the rest of this game.

My 80% white university is one of the six facing investigation for “alleged racial discrimination” because nine of the 500+ scholarships offered are geared towards underrepresented students 🤬😤😠

Absolutely. I have Bridges to Baccalaureate submission that was scheduled to be reviewed at the end of the month. Got an email that the review assignment changed and now it is showing a special emphasis panel with no SRO and no meeting date.
Thank you for this post. I have “pending” MARC and PREP renewals with favorable scores. Suspending these programs will cause irreparable damage in training the next generation of scientists. It’s just devastating.
And now back to our regularly scheduled $hitshow

The dismantling of NIH programs to increase diversity in the biomedical workforce and the abhorrent treatment of talented young scientists

Even though I’m day to day with illness, I’m enjoying watching my wife and son have fun on the rink today 😊🏒🥅

Part of me wants to say one of my undergrads could have written this notice, but most of my students would never turn in garbage like this! And no one at NIH would ever discuss an analysis and data without a citation. This was clearly not written or approved by experienced NIH staff.

Donald Trump is scrubbing critical health information from government websites.

This is staggeringly stupid, anti-science, and will have real consequences.

Tonight is the first time this season I’ve bothered to look at the standings and scoreboard. This is so much more fun than watching blown third period leads! #isles

I know we are all saying this, but where have these guys been all year?!?!?

I recently submitted an NIH training grant aimed at creating a biomed research bridge program for CC students, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds, transferring to 4 yr colleges. This and the anti-DEI stance of the current admin will have a serious impact on training future scientists.
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.
