Major update to #SCIMaP visualization of impacts of cuts to federally supported health research. Map now includes information on future economic losses (impact of proposed reduction of NIH IDC to 15%) and current economic losses (impact of terminated NIH grants). scienceimpacts.org

Update to https://scienceimpacts.org to include terminated grants

American scientific enterprise, modern world order and democracy may be in peril but our @biophysj.bsky.social paper is coming out, so we felt compelled to share before everything implodes. A small step for #AI, a huge leap for #mechanobiology: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

On top of all grant cancellations, there is this. We should probably remind folks that while the presidents may be immune per SCOTUS, pretty much everyone else can be prosecuted for this clearly illegal move.

Everyone 6 months and older is eligible to get a flu vaccine. It makes no sense to restrict Covid vaccines to only people who have specific medical conditions. The FDA is basing its decisions on politics, not science.

Interview with @baym.lol lays out eloquently: how his work serves the public and how devastating weaponizing federal grants is. Couldn't have said it any better. Everyone should listen.

I am thinking a lot today about how heavy things feel in my world of faculty doing scientific research. There's the immediate chaos and panic about our ability to pay people and continue our research. But there's also a deeper grief at watching everything get bulldozed for no reason

One needs to remind her that she is free to have relationships with any and all farmers, and to pet any and all cows, or do both at the same time. Just don't try to feed raw milk to children.

Read up on how things are rotting from the core, while we still have free journalists. I was naively thinking that the ship was sinking as in ancient Rome, but this is more from the soviet story line...

🚨Report your NSF grant terminations! 🚨 We are starting to collect information on NSF grant terminations to create a shared resource as we have for NIH. The more information we collect, the more we can organize, advocate, and fight back! Please share widely! airtable.com/appGKlSVeXni...

NSF Grant Termination Information Collection Form

Please use this form to submit information identifying specific NSF grants that have been cancelled for any reason after January 20, 2025.

We are tracking these grants to increase transparency, organize affected PIs, and facilitate responses, including via litigation. Please share the form as widely as possible with your networks.

We are actively building a pipeline to organize these terminations and will soon have a tracker akin to our NIH grant tracker at https://airtable.com/appjhyo9NTvJLocRy/shrNto1NNp9eJlgpA

WE WILL NOT DISCLOSE THE IDENTITY OF ANYONE WHO USES THIS FORM TO PROVIDE INFORMATION. We will keep your identity confidential.

These resources are maintained by Noam Ross of rOpenSci and Scott Delaney of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, with input and support from additional volunteers. For any questions, please contact Scott Delaney on Signal (sdelaney.84).

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE!

By @katherinejwu.com "The NIH... supported 99 percent of the drugs approved in the U.S. from 2010 to 2019. The agency has had a hand in “nearly all of our major medical breakthroughs over the past several decades,” The NIH is in a struggle for its (and our) lives. This is existential to America:

Administration officials pressured NIH to avoid clear advice from the agency’s own lawyers to restart grant funding now.

For those of you who may be unaware: NIH, the biggest funder of biomedical research on the planet, has not made any new funding decisions since January 21 because it needs to hold meetings that are declared on the Federal Register. No meetings = no funding.

It's too bad we don't have any funds to check his heart or bones. When they are through with it, there won't be a single brick left on the U.S. science enterprise.

They do not understand how all of this will affect their lives. When all this is done, I suspect some medical schools to either close or decrease the size of their program. How is that good for the country? If you think finding a PCP is hard now, wait till that happens.
