The NIH proposal to conceal reviewer scores from program officers, investigators, and advisory councils is ill-conceived, introduces disproportionate weight to small percentile differences, diminishes the role of scientific peer review, and should be withdrawn in its entirety. a 🧵

What is NIH Leadership Trying to Hide from Researchers & the Public?
A NIH proposal to conceal reviewer rankings of investigator-initiated research grants is ripe for misuse & demands a collective response (by October 13).

Not only should brooks and others shut up. But Ossoff is the best example in the country of a Democrat playing dominance politics and using it to control the whole terms of his race.

There's a clear choice in this race: Do you want a pro-choice Senator, or another yes vote for Trump's anti-abortion agenda? In the Senate, I'm going to fight to restore abortion access, and I'm grateful for everyone who joined us today to talk to their neighbors about the choice in this race.

Differences in housing policy post-Surge couldn't be more stark. Both councils passed a temporary 60-day notice requirement for nonpayment evictions. Minneapolis: the mayor vetoed and council centrists refused to override. On pace for record evictions. St. Paul passed it veto-proof. Down 15% YOY

As Minnesotans figure out how to fill up their fuel tank, Michele Tafoya told them to “keep a stiff upper lip.” That’s not an economic plan—that’s being desperate for Donald Trump’s approval.
