Many scientific awards end up concentrated in a few institutions in a few states. You can spread important scientific awards if you try--40 NIH New Innovator Awards, 29 institutions, 18 states. There is great science in every state! 🧪 commonfund.nih.gov/newinnovator...

Just found out about this great funding 🤑 opportunity for institutions in low- and middle-income countries, as defined by the World Bank, to support junior faculty investigators involved in aging and Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD) from these institutions. #LatinInSTEM 🧪 👩‍🔬

Reminder to evaluate the grant on its scientific merits and the suitability of the investigator to do the research, rather than just cite the PI’s pedigree as a surrogate for its quality.

I propose that PIs should expect universities to provide this disparity between NRSA amounts and institutionally defined stipends and tuitions, especially since they are the ones often negotiating/defining these amounts without faculty involvement

Instead of suspending students and sending in the cops to beat and arrest people at Palestine/Gaza solidarity encampments, more university administrators should follow the lead of Wesleyan president Michael S. Roth.

Letter to the Wesleyan student body from Michael S. Roth saying that he will not order the dispersion of the encampment so long as students remain non-violent and don't disrupt campus operations.

one constant in protests are the well-meaning people who haven’t spent much time around cops and try to reason with them, only to be met with immediate violence

The Federalist Society position: it is necessary to let a President break the law to remain in office because if you prosecuted presidents for that it would make them more likely to break the law to remain in office.

Might not be you. I had some similar experiences when teaching undergrads. I usually just added a line somewhere that these two things have gotten confused by students in the past so keep that in mind. Seemed to work.

I was advised to do this. A senior professor said he always got out of committee work this way and advised I do the same. I was horrified and told him that wasn't ok. He shrugged and said I would regret not doing it. I absolutely don't regret my stance! Service is important!
