It's great to see this spelled out so clearly. Also, the best sci-fi is not about predicting the future but creating imagined worlds to explore the anxieties of the present. Silicon Valley totally fails to get this.

wrt the argument that the designation “competitive not discussed” gives POs more flexibility to fund meritorious or high priority grants that were not (I guess) adequately appreciated by the study section, does anyone know of an example of this happening? @drugmonkey.bsky.social

publicly rejecting it, on every social media account you have, and amplifying every other rejection, is also signaling. they’re a weak regime, getting weaker, in a mix of false bravado and panic and fear, and who they fear is us. they should.

For all the people who think scientists are getting fat off of federal grants, I would just like to mention that yesterday, at the spry age of 52, I bought the first new car I have ever bought in my life. I don't mean to brag or anything, but it's a 2026 base model Corolla.

If you call yourself a scientist but willingly admit to being unable to evaluate a preprint (something I teach my undergrads to do) then you need to stop calling yourself a scientist.

the speed at which these guys have broken everything has given a lot of folks who should know better the impression that they are an unstoppable force and the only option is to negotiate the terms of surrender just because the clown car goes very fast does not mean it isn’t full of clowns

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Martin Chalfie delivered a really inspiring speech at #SUFS NYC yesterday, but when he ended with a reference to circa 1960 Greenwich Village folk group The Weavers, suddenly I understood how I sound to my students when I make allusions to Devo or Big Trouble in Little China.

The year is 2042. Just as I am sitting down in my easy chair, all of my grandchildren rush to my side. They are all sitting before me looking up with dewy-eyes, their chins resting on their fists, and they ask me: "Grandpa, tell us what dignity was like."
