My interview of the great Dr. Thomas Mortimer.
Throughout the interview Dr. Mortimer kept returning to the role of *serendipity* in his success in co-inventing Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) for pain, phrenic nerve stimulation for breathing, etc. https://t.co/B5S7dnuJrI.

.@TigresFemenil have released a new angle of the Lizbeth Ovalle goal, and it genuinely might be the greatest goal of all time.

The indiscriminate and ill-conceived slashing of indirects by the @NIH yesterday must be amended if want to restore America’s leadership role biomedical research. 15% simply isn’t enough for institutions to provide the basic infrastructure needed to run a successful lab. I say this as someone who has been and remains deeply critical of the NIH, its funding system and of the ways universities are structured and spend money. We would all benefit from a genuine reexamination of how and to what @NIH funds are allocated, and I remain optimistic that once the dust settles and new NIH leadership is in place that this is what will happen and this hack job by people who don’t understand or care about research will be forgotten.

And I’m sorry but I can’t help but laugh at the people who are demanding a full-throated defense of the current indirect levels. Nearly every PI I’ve known for my entire career has complained about excessive indirect rates. This is mostly because, despite their importance, even most PIs haven’t bothered to actually understand them, and because they don’t FEEL that universities are actually spending the money to support their research. Whether they are or not nobody really knows because in the typically Byzantine maze of university budgets it’s often very hard to figure out.

There are also lots of actual shenanigans that go on especially at places with the highest indirect rates to use funds to build out the institution and increase its power rather than to directly support funded research projects. And anyone who says administrative bloat at universities isn’t real and partially fueled by indirects is either blind or part of the bloat.

So let’s get organized to have an actual constructive response to this firebomb. Scientists need to advocate for what is best for research - and we have to do it ourselves because the institutions that claim to represent us - universities and scientific societies in particular - have their own goals that often do not align with ours.

We also have to remember that grants are not an entitlement. We are not owed anything. If we want to continue benefiting from the public support we have always enjoyed, we have to show the public and their representatives - even ones we might not always agree with - that we’re spending their money wisely.

I drew this last November 26th knowing full well no self-respecting family newspaper in the country would be likely to print it. I was right. But given the events of this weekend, I’m gonna to let ‘er rip anyway.

@NASAglenn director Jimmy Kenyon gave a great talk about the value of failure and persistence today at @cwru innovation week. Progress is hard, failure is inevitable, and the courage to persevere and learn is at the core of innovation.

@wigan_87 @miami_rick @OnDisasters The speed shown in the cockpit is indicated airspeed: how hard the air is hitting the wing. ground speed is how fast the airplane is traveling over the ground. If you climb at the same indicated airspeed ground speed steadily increases due to the lower pressure at altitude.
