Scientists and journalists need to figure out right quick how to explain to the average person how a massive change in research indirects will impact the medical care they and their children get (eg at the local children’s hospital), the education their children will get, the price of tuition, etc.

Straight into court, and you can expect universities to be seeking injunctive relief immediately. This is the way Trump has always conducted himself, lawless and without honor or compunction.
On changes to #NIH indirect rates, there is a law in place that prohibits NIH from making such changes without the approval of Congress. See Division D, Title II Section 224 of The Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (Public Law No: 118-47) grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

This a funding myth.
There are no untapped wells of charity money that can support the kind of research biomedical scientists need to perform today. Most foundation grants are in 25 to 75K/year range, many are on the order of 1-3 years, and in spite of this, are highly competitive.

Institutions “encouraging their PIs to seek alternate funding” do not seem to understand we’ve been doing that for two bloody decades. It’s not like we’ve been leaving stones unturned and can now find a ton of undisturbed grubs just waiting to feed us!

Have you ever thought to yourself… how can I make my #rstats plot UGLIER? Well, look no further, cuz it’s good plot-bad plot time! My students made plots that will make you want to laugh, cry, and throw your computer out the window. Which one do you think is the worst? 🧵🧪
