Doubt not using her last name will make any difference. She's very recognizable and her first name is relatively uncommon as well.

States don't have any $ to bail them out, at least mine certainly doesn't.

His response to the market tanking is to worry about the effect on the world's richest man rather than his own voters and the rest of the country. When will people get a clue?????

Moving trials to other institutions probably won't help. Trump/Musk are looking to decimate other agencies that support research as well. This kind of research cannot not be done in an unbiased manner by the private sector. Any private sector funding will have a desired outcome.

Bloomberg needs to get rid of their paywall.

Maybe that's a good thing.

There are some ebooks my county library is not able to buy at all. I don't want to support Amazon. I want to get value for my taxes.

This article claims that NIH intramural researchers can be paid higher than the Fed salary scale. When I was involved in extramural research funded by NIH or other Fed agencies, that was 100% not the case, pay for our researchers was restricted to a certain level on the Fed salary scale. WTH??

Most of these evangelicals espouse principles that are nothing like the Christian church I was raised in.

Please stop posting stories that are behind a paywall.
