Second (takes deep breath) It appears that PAYMENTS FOR ALL GRANTS THROUGH THE PAYMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ARE BEING FROZEN. If this is correct, then no funds will be transferred to any grantee institution, at least at this time.

In 1862, a Union soldier found cigars wrapped in a piece of paper in a field of clover. The paper was a copy of Confederate Gen. Lee's invasion orders. The Southern sloppiness helped the Union stop Lee at Antietam. It's unknown who lost the orders in the field, or if he was related to Pete Hegseth.

The travel/travel spending ban expires tomorrow so maybe we will find out if we're going to a conference in May. IMO I think it's unlikely there would be enough time to plan arrangements even if it's lifted.

Yesterday, I fondly remembered my dear friend Leonard Nimoy, who would have turned 94. His legacy lives on in our hearts. Just days ago, Bill Shatner celebrated his 94th birthday — wishing him continued health and happiness. Live long and prosper, my friends.

No federal employee should spend more than 30 seconds thinking about Musk's latest strutting "I'm in charge of you" email. Delete it, don't reply, don't think about it, don't waste time talking about it. Musk is not our boss, in no world. 🖕🧪 #NIH Americans support science, not oligarchs.

Federal workers choose public service to serve our people, but the Trump administration wants to traumatize them. We need cancer researchers, forest service firefighters, nuclear safety experts, VA nurses and food safety inspectors. We don’t need Elon Musk, whatever his job is.

I think the pitcher would have less caffeine proportionally, since I seem to drink large lattes as a breakfast food. So it's mostly flavored soymilk 😆 it would overdose me too otherwise.

Also just now, NIH intranet was updated re its communications pause. NIH scientists can now resume travel to and participation in conferences. The pause on updating the Federal Register remains in place -- which means grant-making is effectively frozen, in violation of court orders.
