So no publication fees, no conferences, no international collab, and we can terminate or reject your grant anytime for any reason. This might have some impact on how science works, folks. And maybe just maybe not a positive one.

Yes, I had to file a 'foreign component' declaration with my NIH proposal, and have it approved by my PO, because the papers resulting from the proposed studies *might* have Israeli co-authors.

This makes me unbelievably angry. We were so close to prevention and cures for so many things. Case in point: Individualized cancer treatments that reduced deaths & recurrence by half! mRNA cancer vaccines were doing well in trials to teach immune systems to recognize & attack cancer cells.

I have noticed that cars give bike riders without safety equipment a much wider berth than riders with safety equipment. Since I have had contact between my head and the pavement, I do always wear a helmet, BUT, when I have jacket, gloves, helmet, etc., cars do only leave inches when they pass me.

Okay troublemakers, punks, antifa supervillains, and anyone who just enjoys being a petty little shitbird while they fuck up the algorithm of a massive media corp. Here's your assignment for the weekend. Get on it and spread the word.
Get in. We're messing up Melania's Amazon search results.
This weekend, Amazon is premiering it's $40 million Melania Trump documentary. It already seems to be a flop.
But we're going to take it one step further by messing up Melania's Amazon search results. Specifically, we're going to amplify the paranormal erotic thriller, Melania: Devourer of Men so it ranks higher than her movie.
The book is perfect: it's absurd, the cover is ridiculous, and it's free, so we're not giving Amazon any money.
We need people to:
1. "buy" the book (it's free)
2. Share this post and get other people to buy the book.
That's it. Then we can celebrate as an erotic novel about a bat monster Melania Trump becomes a higher and higher search result on Amazon.
