Well, there goes Continuous Submission. Whatever they can do to monkeywrench the grant system and make it harder for us.
So against all the odds and a little over a month before my lab dies, I got a grant with a fundable score. Only to be told today that it would not be funded, because the funder "very rarely" funds first submissions. Man, what the fuck are we doing here???
Professor Dave has done a yeoman's job in debunking the misuse of science by vaccine denialists that are so rampant on social media. Check it out! I make an appearance around the 1:20 mark! www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FFQ...

CDMRP decisions dropped today. They funded 19 grants. Total. For the whole program. 1.9%. Not sure how anyone is supposed to survive this kind of environment.
Does anyone know when/if CDMRP-PRMRP funding decisions and reviews are being released? The lack of info is killing me!
Not sure if any of you cannabis scientists associate with CannMed, but if so, I suggest you cut ties. The founder is a transphobic bigot that uses invalid research to promote vaccine denialism. Wish I had known that before I went on their podcast!
New paper! This is the marquee effort of my talented student Jessy Bowden, who identified a unique role for Src kinase signaling in microglia for promoting opioid signal transduction and pain relief in the spinal cord. Congrats Jessy! journals.lww.com/pain/fulltex...

Please please please help me get the word out about this. I’m afraid everyone is ignoring our emails. We’ve sent literally thousands and have <10 people enrolled. For reference, we need several hundred. So if you’re not a PI in one of these programs but know someone who is, pls send them this 🙏🙏🙏
Arghavan Salles, MD, PhD@arghavansallesmd.medsky.social · last yr.Despite our grant being terminated, we are doing what we can with modest bridge funding. If you are a PI of a K24, TL1, R25, R38, or T32, you’re eligible! To learn more or enroll, check out our site! Here’s some feedback from our last cohort: “I thought that this training was exceptional…

These guys *desperately* need cognitive scientists as a part of these projects.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · last yr.Demis Hassabis, the chief executive of Google DeepMind, says that “we’re quite close” to human-level artificial intelligence. After that, all bets are off. nyti.ms/45lteBF
Just saw a graduate fellowship that specifies an "*unmarried* female graduate student." What????
I've been thinking a lot about the question of replication rates. Many people claim that ~50% replication rates represent a "crisis" but I've never seen that judgment justified (or even explained). What should the rate be? Why should be expect that rate? Why SHOULDN'T it be 50%?
Come the fuck ON, @hhmi.org! You have money and you have lawyers.
She was 9 weeks pregnant. She died. The state of Georgia is making the doctors keep her alive to incubate the baby. She’s been dead for three months. This is REAL. this isn’t about what should or should not be done. This is about having a VOICE. This is about having a CHOICE.
And our IMSD T32 goes down. Guess we don’t want students from poor and disadvantaged backgrounds getting into science. Fuck these people. There is no hell hot enough for them.
The president's budget proposal cuts billions in funding from the DOE Office of Science, NIST, NASA, and the NSF — but there’s still time to change it. Tell your lawmakers why they should stand up for science using our letter-writing toolkit, targeted to your state: go.aps.org/3RP9EWF
I have a very important announcement. We have a family itty bitty baby quail living in our backyard. 🥺
Budget released today: 40% cut to NIH 50% cut to NSF If enacted, this will destroy academic research in the United States. It will also have a major trickle down effect on the entire academic ecosystem
They aren't going to stop. Yes, there will be lawsuits and the institutions will likely get a TRO - but the administration knows this and they did it anyway. Because the goal is to destabilize and destroy, and the chaos helps them do that.
Dan Garisto@dangaristo.bsky.social · last yr.NEW: Starting May 5, NSF will implement an across-the-board 15% indirect cost rate (mirroring policies at DOE, NIH) Also, NSF staff expect 341 additional terminations today, bringing the total number of terminations to ~1,380.
Fascist dictatorships do not stop; they have to be stopped.

Abolish ICE
Ian Carrillo@iansociologo.bsky.social · last yr.Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...
