Please take a second to read my statement on the termination of the Adolescent Medicine Trials Network for HIV Interventions. This is devastating to science but even more so to the youth impacted. Thank you

Exactly! The people who are being fired did everything right to achieve the American Dream. They worked hard to get qualifications for a career that gave them a decent living and, bonus, served the community. To see them discarded like this should outrage all of us!!

The IES Practice Guides and resources inform every single literacy course & training for pre-service & in-service teachers. Any literacy intervention that has evidence behind it has evidence because the studies were funded by IES, OSEP, or by NIH. Every $ spent on IES research saves tax payer $.

Just curious is anyone aware of NCEs being granted for any federally funded grant (NIH, IES, NSF, DOJ) since 2/1? I’m aware of a lot of submitted requests but not aware of any approved so far!

If you have a federal grant, I *highly* recommend going to this Friday's webinar on responding to grant terminations. Lisa Brown, former general counsel at Dept of Ed, will present along with other lawyers. Friday, March 21, 2-3 pm. More info & register here: www.linkedin.com/pulse/regist...

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought: - 1.65 million deaths from AIDS - 500,000 from lack of vaccines - 550,000 from lack of food aid - 290,000 from malaria - 310,000 from TB

Killing children is by design, I'm afraid. "Pro-natalists" like Musk claim they aren't racist, but their pressure to have children is solely focused on white women, while they back policies that literally kill of non-white children. He's a eugenicist. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
