Too many variables here. often the move to a new institution/town, etc has its own timeline semi-independent of grant cycle. the speed of the grants office at NewPlace comes into it. One thing I will note is that NIH *can* award the grant "with restrictions" if IACUC is not in place yet.

so much of the fascist movement country is supported by the belief that parents own their children and have a right to ensure they turn out a specific way

Our preprint and much other work was only possible because of data generated by the CDC STD lab, which was shuttered in the HHS layoffs last week. This is a huge blow to efforts to monitor resistance, guide clinical care, & inform policy www.statnews.com/2025/04/05/c... @helenbranswell.bsky.social

CDC’s top laboratory on sexually transmitted diseases is shut by Trump administration

The Trump administration fired everyone in a CDC lab that is crucial to tracking drug-resistant gonorrhea and other sexually transmitted diseases. "We are blind," an expert says.

Drug-resistant gonorrhea, a form of the widespread sexually transmitted infection, is considered an urgent health threat worldwide. The US has just lost its ability to detect it. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/h...

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Please forward this thread on Bhattacharya’s terrible recent writing to as many people as you can. Jay Bhattacharya has his Senate hearing today, and the NYT publishes a fawning opinion essay about him (just as happened during the Kavanaugh and Gorsuch hearings). People are trying to whitewash him.

🌈💫Did you know that government jobs used to be awarded through a patronage/spoils system? This changed in 1895 when Teddy Roosevelt implemented merit-based civil service positions.

maybe democrats accepting and adopting the bullshit claim that all government regulations and services are bad was a mistake, in retrospect 🙄

This is right, and scientists should read this thread. Musk’s last decade of behavior is driven by a fight: tech billionaires against Silicon Valley engineers and scientists. Now he’s bringing that class war to government. And NIH/NSF. He wants to oppress scientists.

Great thread. NIH provides crucial funding to support education and health in every state. You can check your state’s 2023 numbers and see how many jobs may be at risk: www.unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-in-your-...

Federally Qualified Health Centers were established by law in 1965 and expanded in Obamacare. They are crucial in serving rural and urban populations. It is illegal for anyone in the executive branch to unilaterally block FQHC funds, that should go triple for freelancer billionaires.
