🧵Good news out of #NIH today.
(1) NIH is extending #ESI and #K99/R00 eligibility to accommodate researchers whose eligibility would have ended during the previous shutdown. Take a look at NOT-OD-26-020. If your ESI status would have ended in 2025, you get an automatic extension through 2026/03/31.
NOT-OD-26-020: Notice of Temporary Extension to Early-Stage Investigator (ESI) Eligibility Period

Cartoon illustration of 2 people on a train. The happy-looking person on the right is looking out the window at mountains and sunshine. The miserable-looking person on the left is looking out the window at a sheer rock face. Both people have text above their heads that say “manuscript revisions awaiting decision”

Encountering my first run-in with the enshitification of Google Scholar - even when enclosing the title in quotes I can’t get it to pull up the 2 most recent AD facts and figures reports.
