Federal funding for US biomedical research is moribund.
Since October 1 2025, NIH is -80% in new grants and -70% in values (total dollars).
Labs are closing down and researchers are leaving science.
To what end?

The "publish or perish" culture must perish. Scientists need time to think.
We just published our Slow Science Manifesto, where we argue that huge changes are needed in the way we fund, publish, and evaluate science.

Both chambers of Congress have now passed the FY26 minibus with NIH provisions. The President will sign.
(1) $48.7 billion for NIH
(2) Full IDC recovery
(3) No more multi-year funding
(4) No NIH reorganization, maintaining the current IC structure.

In an unprecedented move, the US National Institutes of Health has begun mass terminations of research grants that fund active scientific projects because they no longer meet “agency priorities”.

Instead of listing my publications, as the year draws to an end, I want to put pressure on the commonplace assumption that productivity must always increase. Good research is disruptive and thinking time is central to high quality scholarship and necessary for disruptive research

A riddle for scientists: what is (1) better than publishing in Nature, (2) more evil than reviewer 2, (3) the postdocs have it, (4) the Nobel prize winners need it, and (5) if you publish it you perish?

So much 4 Feynman's "a kind of scientific integrity, a principle of scientific thought that corresponds to a kind of utter honesty"

We keep witnessing new lows of scientific misconduct in publishing 👇

Reviewer, *why* do you want to know how many mice total were used in the entire paper? What possible benefit does that provide you, apart from making me waste the time to count them all up?
