Judge rules all NIH grant terminations have been capricious and must be reversed! A Reagan-appointed judge calling out this administration’s blatant racism almost makes you feel a little bit of hope.
🚨 BREAKING: Nearly 4 months the NIH cut its first grants, a judge has ruled that the directives and process that led to cuts are arbitrary and capricious.
"The explanations are bereft of reasoning — virtually in their entirety... unsupported by [facts]."
Each of them are VOID and ILLEGAL, he says.

It's crazy because we honestly just want to make the world a better place. As someone who aspires to pursue a PhD, this won't stifle my motivation, it's fuel for the soul.
One of the best writeups I have read about the personal and national impact of the administration's cuts to science. Heartfelt and heartbreaking from someone who understands all these angles in a deep way.
