The legal, media, and academic institutions capitulating to an authoritarian ordering payments for favorable treatment are damning themselves to irrelevance. They are destroying their institutions. They will be — and should be — shunned for failing in their most basic purposes for existing.

Announcing this not just on a Friday, but on the most holiday weekend of all Fridays, def shows how proud Northwestern’s admins must feel for caving in to bad faith attacks like this. And, in the process, leaving all universities that still have a spine in more vulnerable positions than before.

📅 Join us on Tuesday, September 30 for a presentation by Rachel Kornfield from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine as she explores how machine learning can be used to deliver text message-based mental health support. shorturl.at/Azrj9 #BehavioralHealth #AI #CDIAS #PSMG
Text messaging is a uniquely accessible way to deliver digital health interventions, offering broad reach and ease of use compared to most apps. When combined with advanced machine learning techniques, text messaging can also become adaptive and highly personalized. In this talk, Dr. Kornfield will describe how her team is leveraging machine learning and AI within Small Steps SMS, an automated text messaging program that supports self-management of depression and anxiety. She will highlight how the program uses reinforcement learning—a form of machine learning that optimizes decisions over time—allowing daily messages to adapt based on user engagement, mood, and availability. Dr. Kornfield will also discuss ongoing work exploring how generative AI can be integrated into a rule-based messaging system to expand and tailor content while maintaining safety and fidelity. Finally, she will share key lessons from implementing these tools in real-world settings, including how a partnership with Mental Health America has guided adaptations to Small Steps SMS. This includes co-developing content for underserved populations (e.g., adolescents, racial/ethnic minorities) and designing workflows that align with the operational needs of community-based organizations.

The NIH budget will INCREASE by $400 million — not slashed by 40%, as Trump proposed — according to a proposal by Senate appropriators, says Sen Murray. "Some have asked if there will even be an NIH by [2029]. The commmittee's resounding message is yes—Congress has your back", she says.

Trump team axes contracts with publishing giant Springer Nature At first, NIH told me its contracts with SN were active and that they help “advance scientific discovery”. Hours later, HHS said the opposite: "Precious taxpayer dollars should not be used on unused subscriptions to junk science.”

The action comes as high-ranking US officials criticize top journals as ‘woke’ and ‘corrupt’.
