The very best TV shows I've watched this summer in no particular order and some reasons why:
1) "Too Much" on Netflix for Meg Statler and Will Sharpe's chemistry, a great soundtrack, and a perfect dog arc

To everyone (justifiably) applauding @harvard.edu 's response to the fed. administration's demands: that letter is only part of the story. Harvard's new website went public in coordination with Harvard Pres. #AlanGarber 's letter. It's completely revamped--and it's brilliant. www.harvard.edu. (1/8)

Excellent 🧵 on this evening's NIH announcement of a dramatic reduction in indirect rates for research institutions, which amounts to a generational restructuring of the US research and development ecosystem. These cuts are effective immediately, not just for new grants but for existing ones.
6. The policy does not just affect funding going forward. All existing NIH grants will have their indirect rates cut to 15% as of today, the date of issuance.
For a large university, this creates a sudden and catastrophic shortfall of hundreds of millions of dollars against already budgeted funds.

One of my favorite moments in my post-1945 US history course is getting to teach students about neoliberalism using clips from Milton Friedman’s ten part 1980 PBS series Freedom to Choose, with a title sequence eerily similar to Stranger Things excepts instead of monsters it is neoliberalism

Joan Biren has shared on fb that the great photographer Cathy Cade has died. I interviewed her almost a decade ago and I am especially grateful now to Outhistory for publishing an excerpt from our conversation about her portrait of her own lesbian feminist household outhistory.org/exhibits/sho...
