Slashing the IRS workforce is a handout for the rich: the top 10% of earners account for 64% of unpaid taxes in the US, and the top 1% accounts for a whopping 28%.

RFK Jr is a firehouse of disinformation. Getting measles gives you immunity, but also gives you measles with risks of encephalitis, pneumonia, and death. MMR vaccine wanes 0.04%/year, not 4.5%. For the vast majority it’s lifetime protection and it’s incredibly safe.

I don’t even know how this could be presented as being in service of anything other than hindering scientific progress.

This is not good at all. no grants released for a month. the stall is going to force people to start laying off lab personnel if not reversed. These are US taxpayer dollars that were already allocated by Congress in a budget and are supposed to be spent

Extending my grant update this morning. Here are data limited to new and competitive renewal applications.
