prudent reminder for scientists today, from a thousand years ago

I found out this morning that my @NIH @NICHD_NIH F31 fellowship to study the biomechanics of uterine fibroids was CANCELLED.

NIH has announced a cut in the "indirect rate" to 15% across the board, in a move that appears to be retroactive to even existing grants. This is a bloodbath for research institutions throughout the country. Brief explainer for those not in this world: buff.ly/3EtML7D

Tonight I found out that the NSF math postdoctoral fellowship I applied for is being deleted because it does not comply with Trump’s executive orders on DEI in the federal government. I’m going to answer some FAQs and share some thoughts about this ordeal in this thread 1/n

BREAKING: The Attorneys General of CA, NY, AZ, CO, CT, DE, HI, IL, ME, MD, MA, MI, MN, NV, NC, NJ, NM, OR, RI, VT, WA, WI, and D.C. have all filed suit against Trump for his budget freeze on vital health services. The fact that 0 Republican AGs are joining this lawsuit, despite the fact that this freeze hurts their constituents the most, speaks volumes on how MAGA is absolutely a cult.
