@8trius @a_shanger @NIH If 100% of her salary is funded directly by the grant, that doesn't change. This is not the norm though. People who lead grants often have portions of their salary covered by the University. The University often relies on some of the dollars being cut to pay that salary.

@a_shanger @NIH It wasn’t obvious to me, that’s why I was asking. I wanted to make absolutely sure I had the right data. Please be patient with those sincerely seeking the truth.

Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as “indirect costs.” Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above what many major foundations allow and much lower than the 60%+ that some institutions charge the government today. This change will save more than $4B a year effective immediately.

@knitwise2 @NIH Of course it will.

@NIH Hope this doesn’t cut funding for smaller institutions that don’t have billions in endowments.

@Notawful I am so excited for this book! I love your blog!

@thehistoriann @DrKorica Yep I always feel like I learn something going through the peer review process.

@LaurenBylsma @DrKorica @TVuckovicJuros Yep I can send a paper to 6 people and all 6 decline. Two days later I send it to 4 people and they all accept. In theory, I'd let one off the hook at that point, but you never know who will actually complete the review.

@DrKorica @TVuckovicJuros As an AE I can say this happens when I get more accept than expected. I always ask for more than 3 as most decline but occasionally I get a rare occasion when 4 accept! If I get 3/4 back quickly then I may let the other off the hook but otherwise keep them as some won’t complete.

@LMWeinstockPhD Journal of Gerontology Psych Sciences does it now too!

Breath of fresh air. What can we do to make this routine practice?? #FormatFreeSubmission

If you keep talking about the assassination attempt don’t you dare tell the kids who survive school shootings and their families to “just get over it” What happened today is unacceptable and what happens every day to kids who aren’t the president and don’t survive isn’t either.

@_BarringtonII A Mustang, and I hated every minute of it.

I wonder how many people are currently living that can drive stick shift? That’s literally a dying breed. If you’ve ever driven stick, what car was it?

@Phil_Lewis_ Gosh I love her!

Steve Harvey: Name something that might be curvy Megan Thee Stallion: Me–

@MatanHazanov @GuyTalksFinance I love this response. lol.

@GuyTalksFinance I've stopped eating entirely and put all those savings into the S&P. Want to eat or retire early? The choice is yours.

People complain about not having extra money while they spend $20 per day on lunch. These people are eating away over $7,000 per year. That’s a retirement plan 🤯

Congrats to all the new NIH LRP awardees. The LRP is life changing!

@4everErnest86 I'm at the full moon table. Always.

Definitely table #1

@Ebonyteach that first season destroyed me!

@StckedLibrarian @sarawbharwani1 I use it to create how to guides for students, learning objectives for courses, and (occasionally) writing code for a statistical procedure.

@sarawbharwani1 Why do you use it to do your work?

Am I the only one who does not use ChatGPT?

@MarjieValkyrie @ValerieComplex @IamLaurenGill We have Lots of preservatives and other nonsense in our food supply that are banned in many other countries .

I believe that maybe the food that we get in USA is poison. I’m in Europe right now and have been eating absolute Junk every day I have lost 7 pounds. Sure, I’m walking a lot but it shouldn’t equate to weight loss unless the food is on point. Its just so weird

@AcdntlyRetired France

If you had to live anywhere in the world but the US, what country would you choose?

@jaspscherer @JacksonLeeTX18 I'm so sorry to hear this. Prayers to her and her family.

New: @JacksonLeeTX18 says she is undergoing treatment for pancreatic cancer. In a statement, she says she is “confident that my doctors have developed the best possible plan to target my specific disease.” Expects to be “occasionally absent from Congress” amid treatment.

@FromPhDtoLife Political/legislative interference, particularly at state institutions.

If you were asked about your take on the current realities of working as an academic (faculty member, postdoc, etc.), what general themes might you bring up?

@sarahpressman not even at all!

My son had to select all of the shapes that were evenly divided by a line for his end of year 1st grade test. What do you think about the shape circled in red? Evenly divided or not?

@alpha1906 Close: it was a date rather than a murder and it was a woman rather than a man. Through in a cross burning and the rest tracks.

Is it me, but do all Black families have this family lore story: "Uncle Blankety Blankety killed a white man, so he had to leave X place, and that's why we live in Y state..." Just my family?
