This is **extremely** disappointing from the American Psychiatric Association.

Colleague recently had grants at the 2nd and 7th percentiles go unfunded . . . the way things work these days, apparently scores and percentiles don't really even matter anymore. To be clear: I don't support the policy, but . . . blurgh.

Caffeine doesn't replace lost hours of sleep, it only masks the fatigue signals to your brain so you don't realize how tired you actually are. You still suffer the cognitive and physiological deficits from the sleep deficiency, you just can't tell. Which is good actually and fine I've decided

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." 🎁👇🏽

Vought pushes for scrutiny of NIH grants in Oval Office clash

A heated debate took place in the Oval Office on Friday, with some Trump officials accusing the National Institutes of Health of funding grants that conflict with the president’s agenda.

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

The renaming of this lake is so dumb and petty and should not be the focus of the news right now but … I cannot overstate enough just how sad and pathetic this update is for Google

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.
