This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.

Basically, we can never do any more remodeling bc my lesbian contractors retired.

I think this would be amazing. Not embarrassing at all. Rather a great gift to others who worry that changing things is a sign of failure.

Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe @lisalibrarian.bsky.social · 8d

Congratulations! Looking forward to reading every piece!

Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe @lisalibrarian.bsky.social · 16d

Oh look, I have the most read 2025 piece! That it was about the attempt to cut indirect cost rates on federal grants by fiat is I think indicative of the kind of policy chaoes we've been seeing.

Flashback! So nice to hear from you!

I’ve had an incredible career in public higher education in Illinois. It’s been a privilege to work with so many amazing students and dedicated colleagues, and to have so many opportunities to grow, learn, and pursue my passions. It's not easy to leave, but I'm excited for what's next. (2/2)

Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe @lisalibrarian.bsky.social · 20d

Happy New Year! 2026 will be a year of change for me. After 34 years of service, I’ll be retiring from the University at the end of May and beginning a new chapter — launching my own consultancy focused on working with publishers and libraries (more on that soon!). (1/2)

Apologies if this is too much; I can't resist sharing my incredibly niche knowledge borne of decades of obsession with goldfish crackers. FlavorBlasted is more cheese. Mega is just bigger in size and, I think, throws off the development of the prefect amount of exterior crunch to internal cracker.

There’s a lot of complex stuff going on but gosh yes basically this.

Aaron Bady @zunguzungu.bsky.social · Dec 20

I feel like "academic hiring" discourse is always kind of downstream of the fact that in the 50s we started building a giant public system to make a college education almost universally available and in the 80s and 90s we started taking it apart to go back to the only-the-rich model

Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe @lisalibrarian.bsky.social · Dec 20

This could get really complicated...

Becoming a tenured professor is a bit like becoming an NBA forward or a successful recording artist. (Or a novelist or a working fine artist or a pediatric cardiologist.) The supply is massively greater than the demand, and everyone is excellent. This is a hedge fund of yourself, not a career goal.

Such a "pinch me am I dreaming" moment today. That's me, at the podium of the UN General Assembly, speaking on behalf of IFLA and the world's libraries. What an honor to contribute to the WSIS+20 Plenary and to represent!

Of those I've seen, such are framed as benefits delivered by the publisher.

Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe @lisalibrarian.bsky.social · Dec 10

It's fascinating to see emerging defenses of the utility of barriers after decades of arguments that the end goal should be to make everything as open and reusable as possible with minimal friction.

I’m turning down journal reviews if the journal doesn’t update activities to ORCID. I get a lot of requests and I need to prioritize somehow. I ain’t collecting “reviewer certifications” from Genome biology and scientific reports, etc., when Nature Family and ACS give me credit for my time.

I am so charmed by this. A great reminder that the world is so much bigger than our own part.

This was the day Apoorva Shah and I discovered we could literally talk for hours about discovery, researchers, and AI. Probably good they edited to just a few highlights!
