Just got news that @hhmi.org decided to not review Hanna Gray fellowship applications. I am sorry but that’s fucked up. People spent months working in those. So now you disadvantaged these candidates even more. They could have used the time to advance their research instead.

Indeed, the MOSAIC program, just months ago hailed as a major success by the NIH, has been terminated. We are still waiting to hear what happens with previously funded grants. I discussed this recently in my interview with BBC Science in Action: t.co/I67IDPuRwE

My personal opinion is that we’re focusing a little too much on the uncertainty around study sections and not enough on the certainty of DEI grants and initiatives being under attack. There are lots of talented trainees whose academic careers are going to end as a result of this.
