NIH FY2025 funding data finally emerges on RePORT drugmonkey.wordpress.com/2026/03/06/n...
Current NIH leadership want you to think they are using rigorous, consistent & scientific processes to screen studies to align them with agency priorities.
But the process that they have put down on paper is a sham.
It’s important to know NIH is not following its own guidance. Here’s why:

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN I hope you aren't drunk and took your staff's advice, Rashida and I don't know this man and feel confident he didn't care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self, Rep. Nancy Mace @RepNancyMace • 6h My heart goes out to Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib tonight. Sending them thoughts and prayers.
I personally would not say shit to Ilhan Omar when her blood sugar is almost certainly at an ebb
And before yall fix your fingers to type “Not me!” and get defensive, sit with this and find out WHY this is true (without asking Black ppl to explain)
They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).
Congress rejected massive cuts to US science budgets for 2026, but much of the money still isn’t flowing to researchers.
The culprit? The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is quietly slow-walking the release of funds. 🧵👇
It is with deep sadness that we share Dr. Lynn Malec experienced an unexpected medical event and tragically passed away. Lynn was a natural leader whose unwavering dedication made a lasting impact. We extend our deepest sympathies to all those whose lives she touched.
This is an objectively correct take.
UK: Prince Andrew arrested.
South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life.
Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence.
USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.
Three years after Massachusetts implemented a harsher version of this tax, the number of millionaires in MA has increased, and it's raised over a billion dollars per year in tax revenue.

This is indistinguishable from right-wing anti-SJW agitprop
Scientists: if you have pursued/secured philanthropic funding in the wake of federal research funding cuts, I want to talk to you.

Happy President's Day!
Someone told me lately "Bluesky is just like Twitter." I argued that was untrue on the basis that last time I had a Twitter account most times I got a new follower their bio said "single & looking for fun" & here when I get a new follower it tends to say something like "professor of rare moths".
An embroidery on bone coloured linen. There is a swirling pattern in a vague heart shape stitched in burgundy back stitch. Poetry around the heart is stitched in tan and reads: whorl of fingertips. Apex and infundibulum. Fibres sway downwards in vortices. Papillary heart. Wings wrapt.
It’s #WearRedDay to raise awareness of women’s heart health. Heart attack symptoms go unrecognized in over 50% of women. Here’s an #embroidery of the muscular movements of the heart: heart vortices (2016).

I think it’s the same lack of humility and/or understanding that leads people to believe that “AI will solve cancer”
Like, no…it’s way more complicated and nuanced and you need to be practiced in critical thinking to be good at science. Being a scientist isn’t just about memorizing facts
I really hate this little plot line, not least because I feel like it can only go one of two ways: “AI medical transcription saves the day” or “brown woman gets put in her place.”
I have not been watching, but I am very happy to hear that Bad Bunny is winning the Super Bowl.
This used to be more common knowledge but i think the 00s resurgence is responsible for ppl not knowing. Basically whitewashed
Top of the photo has the "STAND UP FOR SCIENCE" logo. Below that in bold white text reads: "NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION". Below that in white text reads: "Take back our science, health, and democracy!". Below that in white text reads: "MARCH 7TH, 2026 WASHINGTON, DC AND NATIONWIDE!" Below that in black text reads: "NEW YORK - LOS ANGELES - BOSTON - CHICAGO - HOUSTON - BUFFALO - DURHAM - SAN FRANCISCO - DENVER - SEATTLE - RICHMOND - MADISON - PITTSBURG - FLAGSTAFF - SAN DIEGO - PHILADELPHIA - & MORE!". To the left of that is a graphic of the statue of liberty in red. Below that in the bottom left hand corner is the red "STAND UP FOR SCIENCE" logo. To the right of that is a link in white text reading: "standupforscience.net/march7"
Join us on March 7th to rally to take back science!
They closed the CIA World Factbook and deleted it entirely.
I started offering career advice to two junior colleagues today in separate meetings, and both times I caught myself thinking that, if I'm honest, I don't have very good advice on navigating the current funding and job climate. I think it's important to say that no one does.
ICE now confirming that there is a measles outbreak at the Texas concentration camp where young Liam was held.
The answer is for WA to become the anti-MAGA. Invest in higher ed, not cut it as Gov. Ferguson wants. Fund the research and health care that Trump and DOGE cut. Hire all the scientists and experts looking for a good job in a good place. Build a lot more housing so people can afford to move here.
