Pretty surprised about how anti-American such a big chunk of my academic colleagues are. Part of me hopes it’s just a load (annoying) minority. This minority ain’t doing us any favors. Most of our research is funded by taxpayer dollars. Perhaps we need to be more cognizant of taxpayer priorities.

So much shilling going on for universities because of the NIH cut to indirect costs. Yet, universities have so much fat to cut. I think they’ll be fine.

What’s with all this hate for ASM. It’s a society for Microbiology, not political DEI nonsense. Most researchers just want to focus on their research and not think about this crap.
