It is a huge challenge as a PI to navigate the AI minefields w/trainees. It's impossible to ignore AI's utility, esp. to individuals with limited English writing and/or computer coding skills. Their career ambitions require high productivity, and they know their peers will utilize AI tools (1/7)

100% this. I am so grateful to everyone at NIH who continues their work despite continued and escalated sabotage from above. Feeling so lucky that my grant made it through but recognize that there are still unknowable numbers of labs that risk closing in the near future.

And much praise to the civil servants at NIH making this happen in terrible conditions

“There's a piece of NIH's mission Atlas never mentions, because it doesn't fit his story: NIH doesn't just fund experiments, it funds people. Training grants, fellowships, career development programs, and research project grants that carry graduate students and postdocs through their formative yrs”

There are so many reasons we publish smaller "incremental" papers. Trying to build a published premise for something you hope will get funded in the future? Personnel changes? Student graduation? A special issue of a journal you were invited to submit to? cost/reward tradeoffs?
