the Notice of Funding Opportunity which kicks off the application process for funding, has simply not been posted, with no explanation. If they don't post the NOFO, no one can apply for it, and no one gets funding. In 2025 it was different shenanigans. They're chipping away at US infrastructure

btw, it is because these networks existed already for HIV vaccine research, that researchers were able to fast track COVID vaccine trials. Now the networks are at risk

Now the networks are at risk of closing, like USAID in 2025. This week, we were told to pause work on new studies because the grant application we need to apply for to continue our work has just not been posted, and there is no explanation why.

It's never good when your work makes the news... In this case, a whole infrastructure (which is responsible for the success of the COVID vaccine among other scientific breakthroughs) could be annihilated practically overnight, like what happened with USAID. I work at Fred Hutch, a network partner.

The mnemonic for the Great Lakes used to be HOMES - Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior. If O is replaced with A, I guess the new mnemonic is SHAME? Seems appropriate. #Shame on you #google #apple MapQuest actually knows the correct names of places, a low bar for a map. Plus, unicorn icon!

Holy shit. www.wired.com/story/a-civi...
This past May, a twin-engine Beechcraft King Air medevac plane took off from Roswell, New Mexico, and headed west to the town of Ruidoso to pick up a patient. It shouldn’t have been a challenging flight for the two pilots and two nurses aboard. The temperature was 69 degrees; the sky was clear. The 60-mile journey normally takes a half hour, at most.

But once airborne, the plane ran into trouble. At the White Sands Missile Range that night, US military personnel were conducting a GPS jamming exercise that left the King Air pilots—and anyone else within hundreds of miles—unable to use modern navigation systems. Forced to revert to older technology, ones that they rarely if ever use, the medevac pilots got disoriented and crashed into the side of a mountain. There were no survivors.
