We are at “the threshold at which the total cost of competing for a grant equals (or surpasses) the value of the available funding.” Scientific progress & human health will suffer.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Did we all take organic chemistry & the MCAT & miss the social part of our early 20’s and work 80 hours a week for 3+ years for the brain worm guy who doesn’t know what a p-value is to destroy our nation’s public health system? No. Time to lean into our expertise and speak up.

We should determine if downsizing the National Weather Service, off-loading emergency responses, & policy that ignores climate change contributed to deaths in Texas. If not, environmental disasters will become the new gun violence - deaths we shrug our shoulders about & accept.

The grants process for the NIH is fiercely competitive. Those who made the cut proposed rigorous, top-notch science that was thoroughly peer reviewed. But this process is not about science or saving tax $$ - just the opposite.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth disclosed war plans in a group chat that included the editor in chief of The Atlantic two hours before U.S. troops launched attacks against the Houthi militia in Yemen, the White House said. It was an extraordinary breach of U.S. national security intelligence.
