I know that at this point it's a subplot in the Epstein files drama, but I feel compelled to point out, once again, that Larry Summers HAS NO BUSINESS teaching students at ANY university ever again!

My latest cries into the abyss, in @thenation.com

Over the weekend ICE abducted an NIH contractor when he showed up to a courthouse for his green card hearing. He is documented. His wife is a citizen.

He is also member of the skeleton crew of animal care staff that works through a shutdown, to ensure the health and wellbeing of research animals.

In light of today’s news about the National Cancer Institute announcing a 4% payline, it’s really important to communicate to people that the previous 10% payline was still effectively a lottery and the result of decades of underfunding the NIH. Paylines used to be 25%.

Read what two Postdocs have to say about Penn choosing to fight its own researchers forming a union in a recent op-ed in @inquirer.com www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...
.
Postdocs: Penn is preventing a vote that would protect the workers who help it succeed | Opinion
Penn's postdoctoral workers and research associates want to unionize — like the grad student workers did. But the university is putting obstacles in their way, say Marshall Padilla and Emily Perkins.
