One incentive for being a study section member for NIH is “continuous submission.” Or the ability to get extra time for submitting grants when you are a peer reviewer. NIH is terminating this in August.

When I started @stellatecomms.bsky.social, I was so excited about the new science I would learn... 🪲 Ticks weren't on my list, but they've been a recent highlight! Check out the Tick Global Network: tickgn.org

Each Friday, I summarize what is happening to American science & higher ed. 🧪 This was Week 38: - MIT declines loyalty oath/compact & I review latest at other 8 universities - Newest RIFs gutting CDC - “Payroll pirates” targeting university HR & so much more buttondown.com/liminalcreat...

Week 38

Oct 4-10, 2025 - failure state

buttondown.com

GOOD! MIT officially rejects the compact/loyalty oath for higher ed. That’s 1 of 9. I hope we see many more announcements today.

Josh Moody@byjoshmoody.bsky.social · 10mo ago

MIT rejects "compact" proposed by the Trump administration. MIT prez wrote: it "would restrict freedom of expression and our independence as an institution" and "is inconsistent with our core belief that scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone." orgchart.mit.edu/letters/rega...
