Several scientists have received letters from the NIH director disinviting them from their positions on advisory councils that make final decisions on grant funding, I'm told.

In July, I reported that NIH staff were told to select members aligned with Trump administration priorities.

Based on guidance from WashU and others my understanding now is that journals cannot force us to pay open access fees to comply with this policy. You can just submit the paper after acceptance to PMC.

Four years after Medicaid was expanded in Missouri: what do we know?

1. Enrollment has met expectations
2. Uninsured dropped significantly
3. Financially not a burden to state budget
4. Reduced out of pocket costs to recipients
5. Improved financing for hospitals
6. Some implementation challenges

WARNER: Do you accept the fact that 1 million Americans died from covid?

RFK Jr: I don't know how many died

W: You're the secretary of health and human services. You don't have any idea how many Americans died from covid?

RFK Jr: I don't think anybody knows that

W: How can you be that ignorant?

RFK Jr. has said many times that the CDC has failed to address the chronic disease “epidemic”, yet he ignores the root causes—poverty, lack of education, lack of access to healthcare.

Applying for graduate studies in psychology and neuroscience can be challenging and confusing. Frequently, applicants have some support from mentors at their home institutions, but sometimes applicants are looking for additional reassurance, feedback, or perspectives on the processes.

Ellen Fitzsimmons-Craft, PhD @fitzsimmonscraft.bsky.social · Aug 12

I think you have to submit to PMC right away though?

Ellen Fitzsimmons-Craft, PhD @fitzsimmonscraft.bsky.social · Aug 12

I basically just said it was untenable & it seemed like if we were going to require immed submission to PMC then the govt would need to enter into negotiations with the major academic publishers to solve this (we can't both limit $ for publishing & require investigators to pay fees to meet mandate)

Ellen Fitzsimmons-Craft, PhD @fitzsimmonscraft.bsky.social · Aug 12

This is a link to policy: grants.nih.gov/grants/guide... I think preprints are fine. The issue is, I think, the requirement to submit accepted paper to PMC immediately & certain publishers, as I understand it, like Wiley not allowing that unless you pay OA charge; they want to maintain 12 mo embargo
