Very well-done story from Angus Chen about impacts of the ongoing attack on US science and technology.
Here is (IMO, since I said it) a key point about cuts to NIH.

Thanks for your coverage of this important story!
We @chronicle.com reported on Friday that applications for F31 diversity fellowships had been withdrawn.
Now, multiple scholars tell me their applications have been re-assigned to their original study sections, in a reversal of instructions NIH officials gave reviewers last week. #AcademicSky

Everything feels weird and uncertain, and I can only imagine how trainees feel right now… so are some things mentors can do to support mentees during these challenging times: 🧵

AIMBE has developed a new advocacy letter on the changes to NIH indirect cost rates: aimbe.org/advocate/wri...
We urge the broader biomedical research community to customize this letter (<1 minute) to contact your congressional representatives about the severe consequences of this new policy 👇

Encouraging underrepresented minorities to apply for diversity fellowships instead of other programs and then canceling those programs after submission is perverse discrimination.
The CSR comm I'm on just pulled all Diversity F grants from the current review cycle. These apps are reviewed alongside (and by the same criteria) as all other F grants. So, instead of helping these trainees, they will actually be punished by having their grant reviews delayed at least 1 cycle !?!?
