#usenixATC will end after this year — in its 50th year. 😕
Such a shame as it is one of the premiere systems conferences. Landmark work has come out of it over the decades.

NSF grant recipients: please download all your grant information/reports/report acceptances from research.gov ASAP.
There is credible information that it will be scrubbed and then be used to justify cancellation of your grants! Also please submit any due reports right away.
Please share widely.

Here’s Elon cutting pediatric brain cancer research 👇🏻
This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

No, he’s doing what you do when you’re a private equity firm acquiring a company and want to wind down existing operations, keep a skeleton crew, and collect the profits
Trump is doing what you do after you acquire a company. Crazy I know. But reality. The Dir of NIH should reach out to DOGE and offer to bring them in to remove inefficiencies.
There are always some and the Director know what they are.
DOGE gets a win. NIH gets back to work.

If you’re in an institution doing any kind of DEI work, the most important thing to do right now is simply call it something else. Change it to “Community Outreach” & then keep on doing the same important work. When they outlaw Community Outreach rebrand it as “Strategic Partnerships,” rinse/repeat.

There are two kinds of people: those that load the dishwasher in any haphazard way that comes to mind and others that load it like they’re a Swedish architect, packing every inch of usable space.
More often than not, the two end up marrying each other.

Got to watch “All We Imagine As Light” in the theatre today. It is a testament to the magic of cinema. The cinematography, lighting and music are simply…beautiful, even ethereal. Not to mention the top notch acting, storytelling and direction.
Glad it was released here!

Probably time for Virat #Kohli to retire. There, I said it!
If he’s getting out the EXACT same way for the last 5 years then he’s a liability to the test team. Look at Steve Smith. 0 runs on the offside until he was nearly 50 but ends with a balanced wagon-wheel!
