Right now, one of my admins can insert answers and upload docs and save it. We will check it again tomorrow morning.

I dropped contact with one of my parents and went minimum contact with the other not due to differing political views, but because of absolutely horrible behavior directed at me after a major personal tragedy. Not due to therapy or a trivial thing, it's still awful and I don't take it lightly.

Replaced gas clothes dryer and hot water tank when we moved into our house years ago. Once i can afford to replace gas stove i will. Luck have a good vent and window near. Lucky. Not all can afford to replace at a notice.

And it's missing the point that the driver is blocking the cyclist's right of way. The attitude that cyclists should just shrug and "go around" any vehicle, obstacles, persons, mis-using a bike lane is the problem. It puts us in very real potential danger. And it's never just ONE instance.

Strict enforcement is the key. Cameras here are useless. If there's no teeth in the changes, some detrimental effects for drivers it will remain the same. When I commute to work (via bike) I have to trust no driver, ever.

Keep on cutting NIH funding. There's research out there trying to improve this very thing, but hey, let's do the opposite.

So before a person dies, that'severyone, their executor and/or relative(s) must have their own devices always registered in order to access the deceased's accounts? From my very recent experience, this is a disaster, as not every executor is a relative.

I should add there were plenty of one way, barrier protected lanes too, and sharrowed streets. a huge and we'll thought out connected bike road network. better bike and e-bike system by far.

3. only if right turns on red for motor vehicles are restricted. was in Montreal recently, riding lanes like this all over and it was great, especially since the traffic laws supported safer driving.

Yes, but do we trust the current regime to do it well, and with what staff? I sense it's a backdoor for more control over the work. The devil will be in the details as this rolls out.

And it looks like one cannot add even a foreign component after award. These can be non-monetary relationships.

Aili J.K. @ajk-84.bsky.social · 03/05/2025
Yes, and the administration of it will be on the NIH terms, not the lead scientist. As a research admin, I don't see how a foreign sub will be efficiently monitored and reported. Who will do it after NIH is gutted further?

A "direct inverse correlation" between fluoride exposure and low IQ" means the more fluoride you get, the higher your IQ. What he's looking for is a "direct correlation," but he doesn't know what any of these words mean or how science works.

I agree too. I tried to have conversations with my maga parents several times. There was no real personal back and forth. They would only spout back Fox news soundbites. I resorted to sending real news snips with documentation. Then they got really angry. So I stopped.

The correspondence coming from the NIH reads as if it was written by high schoolers who had sort of read some of the background information, slapped it into a word doc and handed it off for us to interpret. Which takes 3x as long, involving sometimes several people, before we can act. Efficiency.

A scientist from my workplace was stopped on the street and questioned by ICE. Another is worried about being let back into the US after a family visit overseas. It's recommended by my workplace Visa holders carry copies of all identity and our lawyer's numbers. All good on the science front.

Maybe the Magas will finally get it when they have to raid old bomb shelters for food, while yelling "it's only for a short time!" Or maybe not.

We booked a very needed household repair last month and pushed our contractor to buy all the supplies then. We saw this coming. Some of the parts costs had already gone up by a lot last month.

Terminated awards will be put on a hard funds restriction in the Payment Management System (PMS) which means we may not be able to draw down on terminated awards as of the termination date.

One question that has yet to be answered is whether a K awardee will be eligible to apply for another K award if their K award is terminated. Other Support will not be reviewed for alignment with administrative priorities.
000
Aili J.K. @ajk-84.bsky.social · 28/03/2025
There is an appeals process that can be followed within 30-days of termination if an award is terminated. Note that the NIH IC will not review the appeal; it is reviewed by the same NIH/HHS administration that terminated the award.

Aili J.K. @ajk-84.bsky.social · 28/03/2025
Diversity supplements will no longer be awarded. It doesn’t speak to active supplements being termed mid-cycle, but clearly says type 5’s will not receive their next year (future years) funding. If a sub-project under an award is terminated, funds will be restricted and unavailable for rebudgeting.
000
Aili J.K. @ajk-84.bsky.social · 28/03/2025
If a parent award is terminated all associated supplements will terminate but if a supplement is terminated, the parent may continue if it aligns with administration priorities. If a type 5 is terminated, the grant is no longer eligible for a renewal of that award.
000
Aili J.K. @ajk-84.bsky.social · 28/03/2025
Awards in a no-cost extension will be subject to the same scrutiny for termination. If a parent award is terminated all associated supplements will terminate but if a supplement is terminated, the parent may continue if it aligns with administration priorities.
