NIH grant distributions have turned into a joke, but the most ridiculous part is that *70%* of the federal funds often granted to these universities goes to fund their “overhead” slush funds which subsidizes DEI & related nonsense, NOT to actual scientific grant recipients. When private foundations make similar donations to universities, the university’s overhead rake is only 10%. That’s an insane disparity & taxpayers are left holding the bag. This is how the university DEI complex sticks the bill to Uncle Sucker. This is a great early win for @DrJBhattacharya to notch, and @DOGE will gladly help him deliver it.

She joins Tech after her time at the Allen Institute for Brain Science in Seattle, where she was a Shanahan Foundation Fellow. In a new Q&A, Mi discusses her teaching and research interests and where she hopes to explore next steps in her fields. Q&A link 🔗: cc.gatech.edu/news/new-facul…
