No study section...no grant reviews
No grant reviews...no grants awarded
No grants awarded...no research
No research...no functional NIH

And if your salary was funded by NIH, no paycheck either if this lasts indefinitely

[Nick Mark MD @nickmmark]

🚨Apparently all NIH Study Sections have been suspended indefinitely.

For those who don’t know, this means there won’t be any review of grants submitted to NIH

Depending on how long this goes on for, this could lead to an interruption in billions in research funding.

[Gregory Ducker @gsducker]

Trump blocks NIH review. I’m on a study section to review cancer grants but received this email today:

NIH has paused all communication, as directed by the new administration (e.g. https://t.co/KD9vnuN3ac ), and that apparently includes a pause for all study section meetings

🧵We've pulled together some of the false claims about crime and incarceration you're most likely to hear at the Thanksgiving dinner table, and the data and facts to help you push back:

Tried to create a relaxing atmosphere in my statistics practical today by putting on a YouTube fireplace video but there are about 8 large screens on the walls in the room so instead it looked like we were all in hell

[Appalachian Prison Book Project (APBP) @AppalachianPBP]

We are in desperate need of composition notebooks! Incarcerated folks use them to write, draw, and create while locked behind bars. That's something we want to support. If you do, too, consider sending us some!

No spiral-bound notebooks, please.

also I'm not going to stop saying it, but if it seems somehow /wrong/ for one person to be rich enough that they can unilaterally and unaccountably ruin a good time for this many people then consider that billionaires should not actually be allowed to exist

How to build an academic writing habit (to write a lot and publish a lot):

[Alvaro Bedoya @BedoyaUSA]

35 years ago last night, my mother, brother and I landed at JFK on a long Lufthansa flight. My father had gone ahead of us; our mom didn't know if we had utensils at our new home, so she asked our flight attendant if we could keep the cutlery. She quietly said yes.

"Hoarders" tv show but it's a host interrogating rich people about why they hoard wealth that could be used to eliminate suffering

Imagine if "weed out" classes for future doctors were in the social sciences.
