(Let's pretend we're in the normal times for a second) I have had a few discussions with scientists over the last few weeks that have gotten me to solidify a problem I am going to call "failure to generate enthusiasm." Grant reviewing is an emotional exercise and sometimes scientists forget that.

We know that the Big Bad Bill is set to devastate rural hospitals, but it will also have a seismic impact on maternal health in the US as a whole. Almost 1/2 of all births in America (and even more in rural communities) are covered by Medicaid, which is being defunded by $880B over next decade.

5. Reviewing ongoing research for alignment with new priorities—& terminating research that doesn’t fall in line—will be the death of NIH. It is directly counter to the stated goal of rebuilding trust. If NIH can terminate studies because it changed its mind, an NIH award will be meaningless.

My lab’s major NIH grant was among those blocked in the attack on UCLA. Because our lab website discusses inclusivity? Because this grant had a diversity-based supplement? Simply because I work at UCLA? Who knows. Feeling a strange mix of unsurprised, furious, and numb.
