Decision tree that has been sent to Program Officers at NSF

This is beyond wild! More in the thread…
🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

This. Everything correlates and thus "predicts"

If you find some things do not correlate it probably means your sample size wasn't large enough to detect it
Predict != Usefully Predict.

I'll bet that in the next 3 years we'll have a few hundred papers on micobiome + machine learning to predict long covid + some cluster analysis, and zero of them will lead to clinically useful insights.

Reproducing my viral thread from Twitter on why we should stop using the term "sub-Saharan Africa"

Academics routinely use this term. For many years, I also used it without really thinking much about it or questioning its use. But it’s problematic and should be avoided. Here are the reasons:

The basic principle is that reviewers are tired, they're rushed, they're reading your and 10 other grants on top of their normal workload.

Anything you can do to make it easy for them will help.

Here's a list of my suggestions.
As a grant reviewer, what do you really wish people would do/not do?

Not big things, like find a significant question/innovative method/be consistent with aims

Little things, like bold each acronym the first time it’s used.

"If we give you the crack, and you take the crack, you’ll enjoy the crack." The inside story of how Microsoft got the U.S. government "hooked" on Azure and its cybersecurity products — with an assist from the White House, via @propublica.org: www.propublica.org/article/micr...
Biden Asked Microsoft to “Raise the Bar on Cybersecurity.” He May Have Helped Create an Illegal Monopoly.
When the White House welcomed Microsoft’s offer of $150 million in tech services, it helped the world’s largest software provider tighten its grip on federal business and freeze out competitors.
