It’s been buried in all the news today, but every scientist in the US should pay attention to this:
Mike Lauer went out on a limb for us all, sending out a memo saying institutes should start awarding grants. And it looks like Trump/Musk fired him for that. 🧪

NEW: In a further sign of turmoil at the NIH, Mike Lauer, who oversees the agency's $39 billion extramural budget that goes to research outside the NIH, has resigned effective tomorrow.
This comes after top NIH official Larry Tabak abruptly retired yesterday.

The CSR comm I'm on just pulled all Diversity F grants from the current review cycle. These apps are reviewed alongside (and by the same criteria) as all other F grants. So, instead of helping these trainees, they will actually be punished by having their grant reviews delayed at least 1 cycle !?!?

"Why aren't universities doing anything!? They need to speak out!"
We can explain.
It's bad news. We're on our own. But understanding why can help us all figure out our plan.

remember hearing about this dude windmilling in like 5th or 6th grade and watching him in youth state tournaments…super cool to see him succeed in the league
Last seven games for Jalen Johnson:
22.4 points (65/42/91)
9.3 rebounds
5.9 assists (2.9 TOs)
1.1 steals
1.3 blocks
Only 1.1 fouls
