Uncertainty is at the core of everything. Our understanding and our ability to predict and control is fundamentally limited - often by resource constraints, but also by the complexities of nature. 1/n

NSF just revised its indirect cost policy—15%.
When NIH tried the same, it led to lawsuits, layoffs, and a federal court injunction.
Changes like this can wreak havoc on research.
MORE ACTION ITEMS TO COME SOON. Stay tuned.

I know that some people might not understand the gravity of what's going on with all the federal funding cuts in the US. Not just top academic institutions, like Harvard, MIT, Stanford, and Cornell, but all of US academia is under existential threat. 1/n

This is such a turbulent time for US academia and science, a world leader and engine of progress for the last 75+ years. And the news keeps getting worse... www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Exclusive: NSF stops awarding new grants and funding existing ones
US science funder also plans to screen grant applications for compliance with ‘agency priorities’.

If you're a billionaire, then you'll barely notice a few thousand dollars a year in higher prices at the store from these Trump tariffs - plus you can count on him to get you another big tax break for the wealthy.
But for everyone else, this is a big deal, and a bad one.

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price.
Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.
