Sometimes I think my job is just copy/paste my CV into a 87 different formats with the clunkiest UIs. The latest one- you connect your ORCID, select what to import from ORCID to your profile, save each selection, save page. Then go to your application, import from profile, save, save page. 🫠😵

Jay Bhattacharya says that Program Officers made up banned words lists at NIH.

This is a real email I got at NIH. (Granted, before Jay started.) But nothing has changed since he joined.

I refused to censor the summary, so it remains unposted. And I have tried since Jay arrived.

The failure of the National Academy of Sciences USA to make a clear and unequivocal statement about the disastrous Trump administration science policies — it lets all of us down and dooms them to eventual irrelevance.
US science is being wrecked, and its leadership is fighting the last war
Facing an extreme budget, the National Academies hosted an event that ignored it.

Here’s something we can all do: every time we see something about the Trump administration’s attacks on science — and the impacts of those attacks — boost it. People, and even faculty, have no idea how bad it is and how much worse it’s going to get. We need to let people know…

Ohio lawmakers are once again ambushing the citizen-initiative process. SB 153 is about power -- and who gets to wield it. The answer must remain: the people.

We oppose this attack on direct democracy.

When I was in college, the President of CWRU in Cleveland, Agnar Pytte told me that his family had been a part of the resistance to German occupation and so he recognized it was an obligation of every citizen to oppose authoritarianism and any hint of censorship of thoughts or speech.
