I’m honored to be selected to represent @dartmouth at the 2025 CASE Workshop organized by @AAAS_GR!

With a new administration shaping science policy and research funding, this is a key moment to explore how policy decisions influence scientific progress.

The latest on worker productivity from @alesszimm of the AAAS R&D Budget and Policy Program ⬇️

[Alessandra Zimmermann, PhD @alesszimm]

Want to increase worker productivity at the national scale? Turns out the answer may lie in funding federal nondefense R&D.

I synthesized some of the existing literature on the impact of R&D funding on the economy in a new Research on R&D Funding blog:

A new task force is developing a vision for a globally competitive 21st century U.S. Science and Technology enterprise. They will present the Vision for American Science and Technology (VAST) to Congress and the next administration's transition team. https://t.co/3lnrvZubcf

[AAAS @aaas]

.@rollcall: Investing in R&D isn’t getting easier. “...we’re sending signals, not only to competing nations but also to our allies, that we’re not taking investments in chips and science & in the innovation ecosystem seriously,” said Joanne Carney. https://t.co/Pwazwd99bG

Updates from @alesszimm on continuing resolutions! #SciPolJobs

[Alessandra Zimmermann, PhD @alesszimm]

Today's the first day of FY 2025, so we did a little refresh of our report of the impacts of continuing resolutions (+ new data from CRS about lame duck sessions)
TLDR: they cost money, time, and sci progress so it's best to have as few of them as possible

Read @alesszimm's new roundup of R&D in the House appropriations bills! #SciPol

[Alessandra Zimmermann, PhD @alesszimm]

The House is done with appropriations and taking their recess a little early, but that doesn't mean we're done talking about their work.
I actually wrote up a whole recap of all the R&D in the bills - both in terms of estimated R&D and total approps:

Honk honk! #GGA24

[Golden Goose Award @GoldGooseAward]

🪿🔊👂 What's that sound? Could it be....the webbed feet of the 13th Annual Golden Goose Award Ceremony waddling ever-closer?

Save the date to celebrate silly-sounding yet impactful research: September 24, 2024. #GGA24

🔔 #SCOTUS overturns the Chevron doctrine. This will fundamentally change federal decision-making as courts increasingly review science behind rules. AAAS is poised to support the urgent need to scale expertise and evidence in the judiciary. Learn more: https://t.co/alZe9KNjMr

Proposed NIH reforms to several institutes were included in the Labor-HHS bill released this morning. This table from @alesszimm breaks down how those compare to current institutes' past funding.
