Want to understand how DOGE happened, and why no one involved is ever going to face any real consequences, for example? 👇

Yet another example of how AI can be useful *once you already have deep knowledge and experience in a field* whereas using it as a student actively prevents the acquisition of that knowledge. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...

"Vought and other administration officials floated an additional review of the agency’s grant-making to Trump...and discussed a potential executive order establishing a commission to review the NIH’s grants...Trump, who attended the meeting, appeared open to Vought’s criticisms of the NIH." 🎁👇🏽

re: everyone yelling about Google Maps - Maps just ingests the official data source for each country, which is GNIS in this case, and most other online maps will follow for American users nobody at Google is making an active decision to go in and change names in Maps directly

Our institute prides itself on recognizing work that has made a difference in clinical practice and #healthpolicy through our annual Policy Impact Award. Dr. Coughlin was one of this year's recipients for this work, and this summary shows why.

every billionaire & tech mogul, they all want to be adored & celebrated without doing the things Dolly did with a fraction of the power & money. What she had, she gave away. I'm sure she was comfortable (& that's good!). But she just relentlessly helped. It's not that difficult. Love. Care. Help. 💚🌸

NSF does this at the end of peer review to get advise on what the committee sees as the most promising grants to fund. It has been interesting to see how much NIH is picking up the way NSF (and other agencies) have done peer review. NSF PO's had more discretion than NIH PO's on grant portfolio

I . . . don't hate this? I just feel like I am automatically suspicious of everything now and so feel there must be some sort of nefarious intent here.

I just saw a meme that said “get in losers, we’re reclaiming the emdash”. People. PEOPLE. Where are your STANDARDS? It CLEARLY should be “get in, losers — we’re reclaiming the em dash.”

Would like to send this message to R2 (of course) of the most recent revision I worked on with a mentee. The tone was just so unnecessarily rude. (And also: not my fault that you have poor reading comprehension)

No, the greatest achievements un human history were ENABLED by the substrate of government bureaus. Education. Environment. Health. Social Security. Medical care. Roads. Science funding. Food and drug safety. Etc. Without those in place, it's explosive diarrhea and other awfulness all the way down.
