Irrespective of how John feels, his words are simply not compatible with an inclusive prize that celebrates all LGBTQ+ people. Just like a racist statement would not be allowed in a prize for writers of colour, or a sexist statement tolerated for a prize for feminist writers. /11

Coffee shop idea: Introduce ‘available seat’ placards that solo diners can place on empty chairs at their table, making it easier and less awkward for others to know which spots are open.

From what I've seen tracking terminations, I think the NSF community circled its wagons quicker than the NIH folks and has been more press savvy. But honestly, all our communities--whether NIH, NSF, EPA, NOAA, NEH, NASA, CDC, SAMHSA, FDA or somewhere else--can do more to stand up for each other

One of the most pernicious ideas of non scientists (politicians especially) is that scientific research can be turned on and off like a spigot without consequences.

In terminating hundreds of NIH grants, the Trump administration dumped years of investment down the drain. In my latest @opinion.bloomberg.com column, we analyzed the cancelled projects & talked to scientists to understand just how much the public loses out. It's a lot: tinyurl.com/bdey86su

A beeswarm chart of canceled NIH grants showing the years into each project when the funding was pulled. Each dot represents a terminated grant and is colored by the number of publications associated with the project: none, one to four or five or more. The grants are separated into thee rows based on the award type (R01, U01, U54). RO1 research projects had the most terminations, which occurred at all stages of research, from the project onset to 7+ years in. Most grants were canceled short of the 4-5 year lifespan of a typical grant, and 40% of R01s had no publications at the time of termination. Projects that had been active for longer had more publications, suggesting that more findings are disseminated in the later stages of these grants.

I lived in Canada for 14 years. I moved back to the US 8 years ago. And this is the week (I remind you, 8 years later) that I've started staring at words thinking they're spelled wrong because it has just an "o" and not an "ou". Why are brains so weird like this? Also is this a sign to move back?

"Ableism isn’t just about disability. It’s connected to other forms of structural oppression and has always been," James Salanga says. "If newsrooms want to cover that seriously, they must begin analyzing ableism seriously — across journalism’s culture, history, and frames."
