This administration is a propaganda factory wrapped around a criminal enterprise
Remembering how the media reported that the Trump campaign not only denied intent to follow Project 2025, but insisted that anyone associated would be barred from the administration.
@politico.com had a big piece about it.

President Trump says he is meeting today with Russ Vought, OMB director and "of PROJECT 2025 Fame," to discuss cuts to "Democrat Agencies."

Oh, what the fuck?!? All my published academic papers are in here. Somehow when I heard, “authors,” I forgot about myself and academic work.
Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.
OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

When I was in graduate school, I couldn’t believe how haughty the researchers I worked with were. They couldn’t imagine why the public didn’t know what they knew! And at that point, I decided I was going to do everything I could to bring the knowledge from the university to the general public.

Every faculty job solicitation in the biomedical sciences should come with a link to a robust University policy on dealing with current and anticipated future NIH / NSF etc funding issues. Including removal of any hint of a major award being required for tenure.

I don’t think today’s ruling changes that calculus a whole lot. They punted the constitutionality back to the lower courts.
If the lower courts rule Trump’s EO unconstitutional and SCOTUS overturns THAT, then we have a major problem.

When I started grad school three decades ago, we thought climate change was a future problem. Now it’s clear that the future is here.
Even if people don’t care that those who’ve contributed the least to causing climate change suffer the most from it, they should care about fixing it for themselves.

The general vibe we are getting across #NIH institutes is deeply bleak — that the agency is nearly, if not already dead.
Top people are leaving or have left. Nearly everyone's looking for other jobs. People still care about what NIH was, but are growing resigned to its death.
