How to grow a deep tech economy, but for real this time

Opinion from Auckland University: This Government should be aiming to grow our investment in science in order to fulfil its own stated aim of growing our GDP.

Monash University has made many positions available specifically for young and early career researchers who would like to take some time away from the USA. These are case by case, not advertised. So if you are interested or know anyone interested have them get in contact with someone at Monash.

I got hit by some rather sudden and extreme financial hardship so if anyone is in need of remote wetlab contract research, strictly BSL1, do let me know. Currently scrambling for gigs.

Implementation of Schedule F

This is what a lot of us have been worried about.

This allows for many civil service positions to replaced with political appointees. This could include NIH institute directors and even POs.

BUT THERE IS A COMMENT PERIOD...

Booker frames the crisis to American science deftly. A lot of debates to be had about the 4am metaphor, but I needed to hear someone important say this. On a loop. For maybe a week. @booker.senate.gov

12. Like art, music, philosophy, and literature, science is literally part of humanity's heritage.

My colleagues and I have had the amazing opportunity to be part of something vastly larger than ourselves, with meaning that transcends any state, regime, or generation.

They can't take that away.

We should not let this happen to NIH.

Jay Bhattacharya will tear out your NIH grants and send them to rightwing schools. He is right at the center of the rightwing effort to destroy US science— he was chosen by Republicans b/c he would do that.
