Wendy syndrome: It’s that time of year when students are moving on from the lab—research assistants starting their PhDs, graduate students finishing theirs—and new students are joining. Somehow the students stay the same age, while I keep growing up.

Come on, @nytimes.com. You can print 2k words (w/o a single hyperlink to a scientific study) saying psych meds are overprescribed, hitting all the beats you'd expect in a B- student paper (Szasz, One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest) without one mention of psychotherapy? www.nytimes.com/2026/05/15/m...

🤔Wait... What happened to that US Research funding line? Seemed like it was almost parallel to China, and then something weird happened recently? What happened recently? You can't do science if you fire the scientist, cut their funding, put anti-scientists in charge, and put your energy into hate.

Congress rejected massive cuts to US science budgets for 2026, but much of the money still isn’t flowing to researchers. The culprit? The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is quietly slow-walking the release of funds. 🧵👇

If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow. The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.
