Take it from a Hoosier, Banks wasn't asking in good faith.
lol. To entertain the possibility he's asking in good faith, the very simple answer is that Boston is one of, if not the, largest hubs in the nation for scientific research with several of the nation's top research institutions. From 2025 RePORTER data, I count 205 research orgs in MA vs 23 in IN.
JIM BANKS (R-Indiana): Massachusetts, which is virtually the same size as my state (?!), received nearly $3 billion last year.

Can you explain why schools on the coast seem to get more NIH funding than schools like my state, which is doing a lot of research as well?

Someday someone will ask how it happened. How we let this all go down. And I'm proud that I'm the only one in my family who will be able to keep eye contact.

Giving Bluesky the writing advice I gave to a writer on FB:

“Every time you think about wasting a paragraph on an online buffoon, take that time and write a pitch and email it to an editor.”

If you're an editor looking for pitches, consider replying with your contact info / pitch requirements.

Found this account over on Twitter that's a guy who is convinced that Charlie Kirk faked his death. He spends all his time trying to debunk the shooting. Truly unhinged and amazing, tbh.

I'm live-blogging my class on Distributed Energy Resources this spring. The first few posts include "What are DERs?" and a three-part series on "Why DERs?" (spoiler: health, money, and climate). I'll link to more posts here as I write them.
