Last year, I was overjoyed to receive an NIH NRSA fellowship to study toddler brains and caregiving effects on memory at Columbia. Last night, my grant was terminated.

I am on my way home from Uganda. The end of US-AID stopped IRS spray teams (for malaria) in the middle of their work. There’s a mad scramble to figure out how to get the job finished. This was extremely wasteful, and it’s an utterly ridiculous way to run anything. Efficiency my ass.

I lost my job at the National Science Foundation yesterday, along with 167 of my colleagues, including some dear friends. This was the best job I've ever had, and I thought it would be my last. The PI community has been sympathetic and supportive, without exception. I will miss working for you.
