This is a very helpful thread re: the slashing of overhead rates on NIH grants. It is an atrocity and, as OP states, an attempt to decimate higher ed. This guidance goes into effect immediately, affecting not only future but also current grants, which is to say current university budgets.

I have finished only one chapter, on Levy‘s contributions to the Jewish Chronicle in the context of other contributors and secular Jewish writers, such as Helen Zimmerman and Israel Zangwill. On to the Newnham chp next. (As you can see, I am still trying to get the hang of short statements!)

I tend to be more of a lurker and listener than a frequent poster but didn’t like the idea of losing touch with the people (and you know who you are) l like and admire so much. I look forward to hearing more from those I’m following!
