An update: Northwestern University has still not received any funds from NIH since March 26, 2025.
We still have not received written communication stating that the funds are frozen, the reason why, or what can be done to restore it.

Not the most important thing going on, but an update from our little corner of impoundment and abandonment of due process:

My NSF predoctoral fellowship was what launched my scientific career. NSF has done so much good for me and many others. Much ❤️ to the NSF and much thanks for all that have shepherded such an important agency
“Hundreds of National Science Foundation staffers turned out this week for a group photograph to celebrate the besieged agency’s 75th anniversary—despite efforts by NSF officials to prevent the picture from being taken.”

Is a photo subversive? NSF staff overcome obstacles to 75th anniversary portrait
Management tried to quash outpouring of support for beleaguered agency

This is my university and my research home. It is not normal. It could be the future for more than Northwestern.
Northwestern has not received any NIH funds since March. No written communication about why or what can be done. Thank you Ben Singer for raising awareness at #ATS2025

Thank you for adding your editorial voice of concern @thelancet.bsky.social - thank you for putting your stance in clear words!

A very smart colleague just pointed out the grim truth that the U.S. leaving the WHO may ultimately be a win for the rest of the world. Why? Because without a vote, “the US can't block WHO actions like vaccine programs, disease surveillance, contraception, etc”. Man, that is daaaark, but accurate.
