The mad scramble to buy votes before the midterm. So surprising😞 Guess this part of the bread and the livestreamed execution will be the circus...

Previous to this admin, were "classified meetings" actually a thing in HHS? Particularly in the context of NIH?

I agree - uni is an environment where it helps to seek advice. However, the system is set up in a way where asking for advice is difficult for the junior people who need it the most. The very people who can give good advice often judge the asker for asking. Sometimes advice should just be given.

E-cigarettes were hailed as a tool to quit smoking. But these days, people are starting to smoke to get off of vapes.

People Hooked on Vapes Try a New Way to Quit: Cigarettes

Vaping was supposed to help people ease nicotine addiction. That hasn’t worked out.

It's just the same anti-science, anti-education playbook: make claims with no evidence/data to substantiate and then act indignant/outraged when questioned. Only shocking part's that this is at the level of SCOTUS and that there's not more loud media coverage.

Not to mention the rising students. Do they think the people that made them rich, the ones who came up with NN models, transformers, rocket ship designs, mRNA vaccines etc just needed a GED and enough token credits? And not years of direct/indirect gov funded training? How is this not a self-goal?

Almost like they didn’t actually read/understand Bush‘s plan or how well it worked and continues to work. Until now, at least.

I suspect they think reframing awards as going to PIs and not institutions, will also makes it easier to eventually justify sending awards directly to industry, by claiming that since awards are to individuals, where the work is done shouldn't matter. More justification for privatization...

There's a big difference between saying something and actually doing it. It's all performative rhetoric to apease their supporters. I'm sure he'd whip out his script pad the second his kid was scared and crying with an ear infection or UTI.

100% agree. Today's Montana is obsessed with people who appear strong, but have no character to back it up. Gianforte slugged a reporter and lied about it to the police the night before his first election. But he still won by a wide margin. Montana loves bullies. All hat, no cattle. Glad I left.

Sadly, I'm afraid this will probably only bolster his street cred back home in Montana.

Seems timely given the Opinion piece in today's NYT from a doc at Harvard recommending something close:

Shocking. Absolutely shocking. Between that and the new call for TP chapters in MT public schools (in violation of most HS policies), one might almost think that he's a major Turning Point funder...

Who is "we"?? Rigor has been a major factor at every study section I was ever on or that reviewed my proposals. "We" do not have to give him a break. He's been a steady source of misinformation about federally funded biomedical research since before he took the directorship. Speak for yourself.

I always get the feeling that those folks have some degree of guilt about using LLMs when they know they probably shouldn't and consciously or unconsciously try to normalize their decision by getting others to do the same...

Might be more nuanced than that -- Michael Schill, the NU pres until early Sept, seemed pretty committed to not caving and fighting (from outside, at least). The reasons for his resignation aren't clear (to me, at least), but looks like interim pres changed course dramatically almost overnight. Sad.

Honestly, the only surprising thing is that *anyone* didn't believe before now. Unlike the catholic church, the GOP hasn't been hiding their idolization of Nazis/Hitler or their antisemitic and racist tendencies. It's been out in the open since at least 2017 with Charlottesville!
