I interviewed Steven Soderbergh around BLACK BAG, and he was predictably a total delight whether discussing the influence of ‘60s icons on his cinematography, declaring dinner-table scenes his worst nightmare, or quoting Orson Welles at me. Enjoy! www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.
Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions
