Cek @ckean02.bsky.social · 30/01/2026Wondering if they disqualified all of the ecology apps bc they didn’t have enough reviewers. Seems like a big coincidence that they sent out a specific call for ecology reviewers the week before. 140
Cek @ckean02.bsky.social · 15/01/2026Thank you for your commitment to protecting researchers and the NIH. Please continue to support us by ensuring the multi year funding restriction amendment is embedded in the HHS budget. 010
Cek @ckean02.bsky.social · 29/09/2025Applicants from last year also still do not have reviews! First year grad students who were not expecting to apply are doing so without feedback. 000
Cek @ckean02.bsky.social · 18/09/2025Last year’s applicants also still do not have access to their reviews. No opportunity to enact feedback for those reapplying. 020
Cek @ckean02.bsky.social · 26/06/2025Glad to see this is getting covered. Very complicated emotions over here as a life sciences HM. 000
Cek @ckean02.bsky.social · 08/04/2025Honorable mention here — they said this in the email: “Although the agency is unable to offer fellowship support at this time, a subsequent announcement of additional awardees is possible subject to finalization of the agency's fiscal year 2025 spend plan” 3396

Cek @ckean02.bsky.social · 08/02/2025These hospitals are about to lose billions of dollars in NIH funding because of the indirect costs reduction. People will lose their jobs. People will die. Please do something! 070
Cek @ckean02.bsky.social · 08/02/2025The majority of research universities do not have this large of endowments. This will cripple the capabilities of smaller institutions. The only places left will be the already uber wealthy. Also, tuition will definitely go up. 180

Cek @ckean02.bsky.social · 05/02/2025Senior undergrad starting my PhD next year. I’m absolutely terrified — I love science and I’m great at it, but that might not be enough anymore. I’ve channeled my rage into making and distributing this: 33219
Cek @ckean02.bsky.social · 05/02/2025Thank your for fighting for science! Please protect the NIH and NSF. All us researchers are terrified. 010
Cek @ckean02.bsky.social · 02/02/2025NIH PREP post bacc program website has been taken down. This is a huge loss for young scientists in search of pre-doctoral research experiences. 010
