Well, there goes Continuous Submission. Whatever they can do to monkeywrench the grant system and make it harder for us.

So against all the odds and a little over a month before my lab dies, I got a grant with a fundable score. Only to be told today that it would not be funded, because the funder "very rarely" funds first submissions. Man, what the fuck are we doing here???

CDMRP decisions dropped today. They funded 19 grants. Total. For the whole program. 1.9%. Not sure how anyone is supposed to survive this kind of environment.

Not sure if any of you cannabis scientists associate with CannMed, but if so, I suggest you cut ties. The founder is a transphobic bigot that uses invalid research to promote vaccine denialism. Wish I had known that before I went on their podcast!

Please please please help me get the word out about this. I’m afraid everyone is ignoring our emails. We’ve sent literally thousands and have <10 people enrolled. For reference, we need several hundred. So if you’re not a PI in one of these programs but know someone who is, pls send them this 🙏🙏🙏

I've been thinking a lot about the question of replication rates. Many people claim that ~50% replication rates represent a "crisis" but I've never seen that judgment justified (or even explained). What should the rate be? Why should be expect that rate? Why SHOULDN'T it be 50%?

Budget released today: 40% cut to NIH 50% cut to NSF If enacted, this will destroy academic research in the United States. It will also have a major trickle down effect on the entire academic ecosystem

They aren't going to stop. Yes, there will be lawsuits and the institutions will likely get a TRO - but the administration knows this and they did it anyway. Because the goal is to destabilize and destroy, and the chaos helps them do that.

In the past few months, ICE has shown itself to be completely lawless. Acting with no uniforms or ID, “deputizing” vigilante groups, acting against explicit judicial authority, knowingly detaining innocent people, and lying about all of it. Abolish ICE.

To be fair, “Trump” stands for one whole party and parts of the other as well as substantial sections of the media, without whom none of this assault on higher education and research would have been practicable. But let’s run another profile of Chris Rufo or a piece on woke Oberlin kids taking over

Context: WIN55,212-2 is a synthetic non-selective cannabinoid agonist (both CB1 and CB2). This also isn't new, since a variety of cannabinoids have been shown to have protective effects in Alzheimer's, and furthermore, WIN compound will never be used clinically, and is decades old.

Technical restrictions are one thing, but i while i am absolutely in no way advocating anyone do anything illegal, i am saying that, from a cultural theory and philosophy standpoint, it is very definitely long past time for everyone to realize that "moral" and "legal" are not the same thing.
