Like for sure these guys hate DEI, but they also love flaunting their association with places like Penn/Wharton and seem to love paying lip service to prestigious schools (Musk’s obsession with den-of-evil Stanford or Trump with his uncle at MIT). I think they want something more than that.

I dunno, this feels facile to me. A lot of the anti-DEI stuff strikes me as a way to channel bigots’ outrage at having to be inclusive into a way to exert control over institutions (just as the minor DEI concessions those institutions made was a way to diffuse BLM fury without enacting real change)

It feels like they’re laying a trap for universities. If they defend 70% indirects, that could justify an open audit of their spending/endowment, something that uni admins absolutely do not want — probably at the expense of almost any other priority (lest they lose tax-exempt status)…

These guys love NIH money going to research: taxes pay for tech development and then industry privatizes the discoveries. So why disincentivize it (and shutter basically all hospital departments, presumably to be replaced with fraud-peddling startups)?

I understand the shock and despair, the justification of indirects, the lamentations that we let them get so bloated, and the observation that this was proposed in 2017. But I feel like there must be some coherent goal beyond “make universities hurt”, and it’s not “spend less on research.”

Especially, I’m sorry to say, nathan tankus. I had to unfollow just because my feed transformed into just a stream of self-promoting retweets..

And I’ve used these sensors for 60 Hz in vivo calcium measurements with FLIM no problem (not published in this study but hopefully on biorxiv soon)! I think the “FLIM is slow” issue is totally over.
