NEW: The NIH is quietly restricting funding for research that evaluates how public policy impacts human health. According to internal documents I obtained, the agency no longer considers policymakers "mission relevant" — a massive shift for the biomedical funder. My latest for @nature.com:

Well, this is an utter disaster for science. This gutting of peer review is very likely driven by Project 2025/OMB/Vought, very likely is about funding junk science, and very likely is coming for #NIH and biomedical research next. 🧪
Science
in reviewing grant proposals.
The changes permit as few as one outside review rather than the current minimum of three, end the routine use of expert panels to discuss those individual reviews, and give program managers greater authority to recommend which proposals should or should not be funded. They are described in an internal 1 December staff memo that Science has obtained and mentioned briefly in an update to NSF's grantmaking manual posted on 8 December.
A major reason for the smaller staff is the elimination of hundreds of so-called rotators, scientists on loan from academia who served as program managers as well as higher level administrators. Their absence, combined with the new review policy, represent a major change in how NSF

with the holidays upon us please enjoy my favorite miss manners column (circa 2002)
DEAR MISS MANNERS: A couple of years ago, my wife and I attended the wedding of two people who had been friends of ours for years. One year ago, the woman left the man for another man. We heard all about it from the man but heard nothing from the woman as we live in separate towns.

We received a little Christmas package from the woman who, in her note, made no reference to her infidelity -- an act that considerably affected all who were friends of the pair.

I felt instinctively the need to thank her for the gift and card, but I didn't feel as if I should ignore the issue of her leaving
her husband. In the end, I wrote a thank-you note and told her what I thought of the situation - not in excoriating terms but in bluntly honest ones. In your opinion, was this boorish?

GENTLE READER: Yes. Had you wished to register your disapproval you could have written her a dry letter of thanks; had you wished to register extreme disapproval, you could have returned the present. Miss Manners is afraid that “Thanks, slut," is not a proper communication.

During the early days of the pandemic, I saw how the janitors worked tirelessly around the clock to make sure each room was sterilized to prevent the spread of COVID. Some worked 2-3 shifts in a row just to meet the demands of the hospital. I will never forget their hard work and dedication.🙏🏻

A huge decision from Judge Amir Ali, meticulously reasoned and utterly scathing, finding that Trump’s foreign aid freeze is almost certainly an illegal and arbitrary abuse of power. He orders the immediate restoration of all international assistance. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...
Consistent with the reasoning above, it is hereby ORDERED that Defendants Marco
Rubio, Peter Marocco, Russell Vought, the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Agency for
International Development, and the Office of Management and Budget (the "Restrained
Defendants") and their agents are temporarily enjoined from enforcing or giving effect to Sections

directives that implement Sections 3(a) and 3(c) of Executive Order Number 14169, "Reevaluating
and Realigning United States Foreign Aid" (Jan. 20, 2025), including by:
• suspending, pausing, or otherwise preventing the obligation or disbursement appropriated foreign-assistance funds in connection with any contracts, grants, cooperative
agreements, loans, or other federal foreign assistance award that was in existence as of
January 19, 2025; or
• issuing, implementing, enforcing, or otherwise giving effect to terminations, suspensions, or stop-work orders in connection with any contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, loans, or other federal foreign assistance award that was in existence as of January 19, 2025.It is further hereby ORDERED that nothing in this order shall prohibit the Restrained
Defendants from enforcing the terms of contracts or grants.
It is further hereby ORDERED that the Restrained Defendants shall take all steps necessary to effectuate this order and shall provide written notice of this order to all recipients of
existing contracts, grants, and cooperative agreements for foreign assistance.
It is further hereby ORDERED that the Restrained Defendants shall file a status report by
February 18, 2025, apprising the Court of the status of their compliance with this order, including by providing a copy of the written notice described above.
The parties shall meet and confer and file a joint status report by February 14, 2025, at 5:00

We as a country will save nothing. Federal employee salaries make up just 4% of the budget—roughly $271 billion. So even if every federal worker were fired, that’s the maximum you’d save. Meanwhile, the U.S. House GOP has released a budget that raises the debt limit by $4 trillion.
